Know before you buy
Carbon steel is prized for its ability to heat up quickly and maintain a consistent temperature throughout the baking process. This helps ensure your cakes and brownies bake evenly without hot spots.
Yes, this pan is oven-safe up to 450°F. The double-layer silicone-based coating is designed to withstand standard baking temperatures while providing a reliable release for your baked goods.
While the pan is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing it to preserve the integrity of the nonstick coating over time. A quick wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is usually all that is needed.
The pan measures 9.5 inches wide by 9.5 inches deep, with a height of 2.3 inches. It is perfectly sized for standard 9-inch square cake, brownie, or coffee cake recipes.
While the nonstick coating is highly effective, we recommend lightly greasing or lining the pan with parchment paper for delicate recipes. This ensures a flawless release every time, especially for sticky batters like brownies.
