Know before you buy
No, these pans are not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing them with warm, soapy water to maintain the integrity of the anodized aluminum finish.
These pans do not have a chemical nonstick coating. However, the anodized surface is naturally resistant to sticking, and you can ensure an easy release by greasing and flouring the pans or using parchment paper rounds.
These pans are not designed for freezer use. They are engineered specifically for high-heat baking and are oven safe up to 550° F.
Anodizing creates a non-reactive surface that won't rust, chip, or peel. It also allows the pans to heat up and cool down faster than traditional steel, which helps prevent your cakes from over-baking.
No, these are solid, seamless pans. The straight-sided design is intended to provide clean, professional edges for stacking tiers.
