pterrell,
No, the binder clips are that black metal. They hold up fine!
And, yes, AB is a sexy devil, the Total Package!!! If I were a younger woman... |

I agree, using a thermometer is the way to go. I was always over or underbaking my cakes. Now I bake them until the center temperature is around 200 and they come out perfect every time. |

If you were a younger woman, you would go after a married man with a young child?  Just sayin'...

You can also use a large paperclip in place of a binder clip. |

i also use bobby pins and they work terrific...they are so thin that they don't cause the strips to come away from the pan at all! i love the binder idea as well! and i like the alton brown avatar as well and have to remind myself he's not really posting. wouldn't it be great if he was on here tho?! |

The strips also slide also tend to fall down if the sides of your pan are sloped. |

Any specific type of thermometer you use or suggestions on where to find it. Every so often my middles aren't cooked quite enough. |

If you only use one cake mix for your WASC cake, the batter amount will be about 7 cups.
Each 8 cake pan (3" deep) requires 5 cups of batter, so you won't have enough.
As has been said the 2" deep 8" rounds only require 3-1/2 cups of batter per pan - so you'd be fine.

BTW I think JanH is a fine substitute for AB. I wonder if she talks as fast AB in real life? |

Just FYI, I just finished baking the Amazing choclate WASC(2-9inch/2" high layers). I got 9 cups of batter from this HALVED recipe. It baked up to just at pan level. Exactly 2"...that's just fyi, hope don't mind sorta hijacking the thread. |
