Know before you buy
While the ceramic-reinforced coating is scratch-resistant, we recommend using silicone, nylon, or wooden tools to maintain the integrity of the nonstick surface over time.
No, you can follow your standard recipes. The heavy-gauge aluminized steel is designed for uniform heat conduction, which helps prevent hot spots and ensures your cakes bake evenly at traditional temperatures.
Yes, this pan is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is generally recommended to extend the lifespan of the nonstick coating.
The pan is an 8-inch square, which refers to the interior dimensions where your batter will sit. The total exterior footprint, including the handles, is 11.5 inches by 8.8 inches.
The slightly rounded corners are specifically designed to promote better airflow and prevent the edges of your baked goods from overbrowning or becoming too crisp compared to the center.
The pan is oven-safe up to 450°F. While it can handle high heat, it is not intended for direct exposure to a broiler flame, which can exceed these temperature limits and damage the nonstick coating.
