Removing Muffins from the Oven

Once muffins are finished baking remove the muffin tin and place it on a wire rack for cooling. Cool 5 minutes before attempting to remove muffins from pans, unless the pans have been lined with cupcake papers. Chocolate and other muffins with soft fillers may require more time to firm up before being removed.
