Know before you buy
This pan features eight cavities, allowing you to bake two of each of the four dinosaur designs—T-Rex, Brontosaurus, Triceratops, and Stegosaurus—in a single batch.
No, this pan should be hand-washed only. Using a dishwasher can damage the nonstick coating and significantly shorten the lifespan of the pan.
While the pan has a PFOA-free nonstick finish, we recommend lightly brushing the interior with butter or a nonstick baking spray to ensure the intricate dinosaur details release perfectly every time.
To prevent the batter from overflowing and losing the defined dinosaur shapes, fill each cavity no more than 3/4 of the way full.
You should avoid using metal utensils, as they can scratch and degrade the nonstick coating. Stick to silicone, wood, or plastic tools to keep the surface in good condition.
