Nordic Ware Naturals Classic Metal Covered Baking Pan

The lid is designed to fit snugly, which is excellent for protecting your baked goods from air and debris during transport or storage. While it is not strictly airtight, it is highly effective at keeping cakes, brownies, and casseroles fresh for potlucks and countertop storage.

No, this pan is hand wash only. Using a dishwasher can cause the natural aluminum to discolor or oxidize, so we recommend washing it with warm, soapy water to maintain its finish and performance.

Pure aluminum can react with highly acidic ingredients, which may cause minor pitting or discoloration of the pan. While it is safe to use for most recipes, it is best to avoid storing acidic foods in the pan for extended periods.

The pan is engineered with encapsulated galvanized steel rims specifically to prevent warping. This design provides structural integrity, allowing the pan to maintain its shape even when used at high oven temperatures up to 500°F.

Natural aluminum is the gold standard for professional baking because it offers superior heat conductivity, ensuring your baked goods brown evenly and consistently. Unlike non-stick coatings, it won't peel or flake over time, making it a more durable, long-term investment for your kitchen.
