i just pulled out a cake pan i haven't used in a while and it has two pin holes in it. is there any way to still use it or should i just throw it away.

I line all of my pans with parchment paper before I put my cake batter in. Are the holes too big to do that? If they are, I guess I'd throw it away and get another one.

What kind of pan is it? I have some older pans that I use for cornbread and brownies, and I just line them with foil before baking. If you do this, be sure to use pan grease or cake release on the foil so it doesn't stick!

it is a older pooh pan. and the holes are very small like the head if a pin

Because it's a character pan you won't be able to line it with parchment or foil, but you could still "patch" it with either (I think parchment would probably work best though). Just make sure to use shortning to greese the pan and then smooth down the little patch. then greese the top of the patch and add flour, as long as this is how you normally greese, if not, still put the patches down on shortning, not oil or pam, and then use your regular method of greesing over the patches). Just remember to remove the little patches (in that case, foil might be better)! Good luck!

Here`s a good fix it trick. I have several pans with pin holes in them. Just put a piece of "masking tape" on the outside of the pan to cover the hole. The tape will not burn off or wash off. About 20 years ago I recieved a couple of the pans from my grandmothers and to this day they still have her piece of tape on them.

Hope this helps
