Chicago Metallic Cake Pan

The plastic divider inserts into the pan to create separate sections. You pour your different colored batters into these sections, then lift the divider straight up before baking to create the distinct checkerboard pattern.

You can absolutely use them as standard 9-inch round cake pans. Simply remove the divider and use them as you would any other round baking pan.

While the manufacturer states they are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with mild soap to extend the life of the non-stick coating. High-heat dishwasher cycles can degrade non-stick surfaces over time.

Each pan has a capacity of 6 cups, making the total set capacity 18 cups. This is standard for most 9-inch round cake recipes.

Even with a non-stick coating, we recommend a light coating of butter or cooking spray, especially when baking intricate patterns. This ensures the cake releases cleanly without leaving any crumbs behind.

Yes, these pans are made from durable, rustproof metal designed to withstand regular oven temperatures without warping. They provide even heat distribution for consistent baking results.
