Every kitchen needs a square baking pan, and ours is well-made to last through a lifetime of baking. With an encapsulated steel rim to prevent warping, this uncoated aluminum pan is suited for a variety of sweet and savory foods. Natural uncoated aluminum browns foods evenly. Pan exterior dimensions 9.7 x 9.7 x 2.5 inches and interior dimensions 9 x 9 x 2.5 inches. Hand wash as dishwasher use is not advised, as discoloration will occur due to the cleaning agents used in automatic dishwasher detergent. This discoloration is merely cosmetic and will not affect baking properties or safety of the pan. Natural aluminum pans work well with parchment paper, silicone baking mats, and also traditional butter or shortening and flour methods. When roasting savory foods such as vegetables, butter or cooking oil work well. Nylon, wood, or silicone utensils are recommended. Metal utensils and scouring pads may scratch natural aluminum pans, but will not affect baking performance. Aluminum is reactive to acidic ingredients such as vinegar and tomato products. These foods may darken, pit or corrode the pan after prolonged use. Made in USA
