Know before you buy
This pan is oven safe up to 325°F. Exceeding this temperature may damage the nonstick coating and affect the pan's performance.
Yes, the premium nonstick interior is designed specifically to release detailed embossed patterns. For best results, we recommend lightly greasing the pan with a baking spray containing flour before adding your dough.
Absolutely. While it is designed for shortbread, it works well for any pressed cookie dough or even savory applications like herb-infused cornbread wedges, provided the dough is firm enough to hold the embossed detail.
To preserve the nonstick surface and the integrity of the embossed designs, hand wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads, which can scratch the finish.
The pan is divided into eight equal segments, allowing you to bake eight uniform, bakery-style wedges at once.
