Know before you buy
The BPA-free plastic lid is designed to snap securely onto the pan, making it excellent for keeping cakes fresh on the counter or protecting them during transport. However, it is not airtight, so it is best suited for short-term storage rather than long-term freezer preservation.
The pan is crafted from natural aluminum, which can discolor or oxidize when exposed to the harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher. To maintain the pan's finish and performance, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
Because this pan is made of uncoated aluminum, highly acidic ingredients can react with the metal, potentially causing pitting or affecting the flavor of your food. It is best to use this pan primarily for cakes, brownies, and other non-acidic baked goods.
No, this is a natural aluminum pan without any nonstick coating. For best results, we recommend greasing the pan or lining it with parchment paper before baking to ensure your cakes release cleanly.
The interior dimensions of the pan are 12.1 inches long by 8.8 inches wide, with a depth of 2.4 inches. This standard size is ideal for most 9" x 13" cake recipes.
