Know before you buy
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and prevent discoloration, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
This pan is not suitable for microwave or freezer use. It is designed specifically for oven baking and storage at room temperature.
The included aluminum lid fits securely to keep your baked goods fresh and protected, making it ideal for carrying dishes to potlucks or parties. However, it is not a vacuum-sealed or leak-proof container, so it should be kept upright during transport.
The pan is oven-safe up to 450°F. It is constructed from natural aluminum, which provides excellent heat conductivity for even browning.
While the pan is made of durable aluminum, highly acidic ingredients like tomato-based sauces can sometimes cause minor pitting or discoloration over time. We recommend lining the pan with parchment paper if you are frequently baking acidic dishes like lasagna.
