Chicago Metallic Madeleine Pan

This pan is built with 22-gauge aluminized steel, which is significantly heavier and more durable than the thin, flimsy metal often found in standard pans. The professional-grade AMERICOAT ePlus silicone coating also provides a longer release life, meaning your delicate cakes will pop out cleanly batch after batch without sticking.

While the specialized silicone coating is designed to reduce the need for oil by up to 50%, a light dusting of flour or a very thin layer of butter is still recommended for intricate Madeleine shells. This ensures every detail of the scallop pattern remains crisp and intact.

Yes, the AMERICOAT ePlus silicone coating is PFOA-free and engineered to withstand professional kitchen temperatures. It is designed to provide a safe, nonstick surface without the risk of harmful chemicals leaching into your food.

To preserve the integrity of the silicone coating, hand wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or metal utensils, as these can scratch the surface and compromise the nonstick performance over time.

Aluminized steel is prized for its superior heat distribution, which actually helps prevent hot spots and promotes an even, golden-brown bake. Because it conducts heat efficiently, you may find you need to keep a close eye on your oven timer during the first batch to dial in your perfect bake time.
