Bakeley Cake Pan

Absolutely. While the shallow design is perfect for brownies and thin cake layers, it works well for cornbread, blondies, or even roasting vegetables. Just keep in mind that the 9-inch square size is best for recipes designed for that specific footprint.

The finish is primarily aesthetic, but lighter-colored pans like this one generally bake more gently than dark, heavy-gauge pans. This helps prevent the edges of your cakes or brownies from browning too quickly before the center is set.

We strongly recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon utensils. Even durable nonstick coatings can scratch over time with metal tools, which will compromise the pan's release performance.

While the pan is durable, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is the best way to preserve the life of the nonstick coating. Dishwasher detergents can be harsh and may dull the finish over time.

For most recipes, a light coating of butter or cooking spray is still recommended, especially if you are baking something with a high sugar content. It acts as an insurance policy to ensure your baked goods release perfectly every time.
