A baking pan moonlighting as a portion-control sorcerer for anyone who can't stop at one.
means A baking pan with a row of round cup-shaped wells, used to bake muffins, cupcakes, and other individually portioned foods.
from A plain compound of two old words doing exactly what they say. 'Muffin' surfaced in English in the early 18th century, possibly related to the Low German 'muffen,' the plural of 'muffe' (a small cake), though the trail is murky. 'Tin' comes from Old English 'tin,' the soft metal that early baking pans were made or coated with — so a 'muffin tin' was literally the tin you baked muffins in. The name stuck even after the metal changed, the way we still 'dial' phones with no dials.
