I have seen angel food pans used for many things. My one thought is to be VERY sure that the inside of the pan is free of any greasy substance. Even a small amount will keep your next angel food cake from rising well. I always put my pan through the dishwasher. This post made me think about another cake. Does anyone remember the Chiffon Cakes that were so popular when I was a child. My mom made a lot for birthday cakes. They were baked in an angel food pan.
