Nordic Ware Natural Aluminum Square Cake Pan, 9 x 9

A well-made square baking pan is an essential item in every kitchen, designed to last through a lifetime of baking. This uncoated aluminum pan by Nordic Ware features an encapsulated steel rim to prevent warping, making it suitable for a variety of sweet and savory foods. The natural uncoated aluminum ensures even browning of the baked goods.

The pan's exterior dimensions measure 9.7 x 9.7 x 2.5 inches, with interior dimensions of 9 x 9 x 2.5 inches. It is recommended to hand wash the pan, as dishwasher use is not advised due to the potential for discoloration caused by the cleaning agents in automatic dishwasher detergent. This discoloration is merely cosmetic and will not affect the pan's baking properties or safety.

The natural aluminum construction of the pan allows for versatile use with various baking methods, such as parchment paper, silicone baking mats, and traditional butter or shortening and flour methods. When roasting savory foods like vegetables, butter or cooking oil can be used effectively. The use of nylon, wood, or silicone utensils is recommended, as metal utensils and scouring pads may scratch the natural aluminum surface, though this will not impact the pan's baking performance.

It's important to note that aluminum is reactive to acidic ingredients, such as vinegar and tomato products. These foods may cause the pan to darken, pit, or corrode after prolonged use.

Proudly made in the USA by Nordic Ware, this commercial-grade bakeware is crafted from pure aluminum, ensuring it will never rust and providing a lifetime of durability. The reinforced encapsulated steel rim helps the baked goods rise and bake evenly, thanks to the superior heat conductivity of aluminum.

For easy cleanup, the pan is designed for hand washing only. With its well-made construction and versatile features, this square baking pan is an essential addition to any kitchen, ready to fulfill a lifetime of baking needs.
