What is a corn stick pan?

A corn stick pan is a kitchen utensil used to make corn sticks, a type of cornbread that is popular in the Southern United States. The pan consists of a metal base with multiple individual wells, each shaped to form a corn stick. The wells are typically coated with a non-stick surface to prevent the cornbread from sticking. The pan is preheated before adding the cornbread batter and is then placed in an oven to bake the corn sticks.
