PME Round Cake Pan

No, this pan is made from uncoated, anodised aluminium. While it doesn't have a nonstick surface, the material is durable and resists corrosion, though you will need to grease and flour the pan or use parchment paper to ensure your cakes release easily.

Anodised aluminium is a preferred material for baking because it heats up and cools down quickly, which helps prevent over-baking. It is also non-reactive, meaning it won't impart a metallic taste to acidic ingredients like lemon or buttermilk.

The seamless design eliminates the crevices found in traditional pans where batter can get stuck. This ensures your cakes have perfectly straight, clean edges, which is essential for professional-looking layered cakes.

It is highly recommended to hand wash this pan with warm, soapy water. Dishwashers can cause the aluminium to oxidise and discolour, which may affect the finish over time.

While not strictly required, a baking belt is a great tool for this pan. Because aluminium conducts heat so efficiently, a belt helps insulate the edges, ensuring the cake rises evenly and the top stays level without doming.
