For layer cakes. Sized to fit inside instant pressure cookers as well as ovens. There are several reasons you might consider adding a 6-inch round pan to your kitchen. Of course, a tiered layer cake for a big celebration might call for one, but think about other uses, such as cooking recipes inside of a smaller countertop or toaster oven, toasting a small portion of nuts to use in a recipe, or making a half-recipe of a favorite cake. Beyond this, a 6" round pan will easily fit into an instant electric pressure cooker or your countertop toaster oven. We love this pan for so many reasons and think you will too!
