Know before you buy
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the ceramic nonstick coating and prevent corrosion, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
The pan features a water-based ceramic nonstick coating, which is designed to be a cleaner alternative to traditional chemical-based nonstick surfaces. It is free from common harmful chemicals like PFOA and PTFE.
While the ceramic coating is scratch-resistant, it is best to use silicone, wood, or nylon utensils to ensure the longevity of the nonstick surface. Metal tools can eventually cause micro-scratches that may degrade the release properties over time.
Aluminized steel is highly valued in professional kitchens for its excellent heat conductivity. It ensures your muffins and cupcakes bake evenly across the entire pan, preventing hot spots and ensuring a consistent golden-brown finish.
While the ceramic coating provides excellent release, we recommend a light coating of oil or butter for recipes with high sugar content or those that are particularly sticky. For standard muffin recipes, you may find that little to no greasing is required.
This pan is oven-safe up to 550°F. This high heat tolerance makes it versatile enough for recipes that require a quick, high-temperature blast to achieve a perfect rise.
