Know before you buy
No, this pan features an uncoated aluminized steel surface. You will need to grease the pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure your cakes release easily.
The harsh detergents and high heat cycles of a dishwasher can cause the aluminized steel to discolor or oxidize. To maintain the integrity and finish of the pan, we recommend washing it by hand with mild soap.
While the steel is durable, we recommend using wood, silicone, or plastic utensils. Metal tools can scratch the surface, which may affect the pan's performance over time.
The extra-thick rolled edge provides structural reinforcement that helps the pan resist warping at high temperatures. It also makes the pan easier to grip when you are pulling it out of the oven.
Yes, the sides are designed to be perfectly straight rather than tapered. This ensures your cake layers have uniform edges, making them much easier to stack and frost for professional-looking results.
