PME Cake Pan

No, this pan is made from uncoated anodized aluminum. While it lacks a non-stick surface, the material is excellent for heat conduction, though you will need to grease and flour the pan or use parchment paper to ensure your cakes release cleanly.

Anodized aluminum is non-reactive, meaning it won't impart a metallic taste to acidic ingredients like lemon or cocoa. It also heats up and cools down quickly, which helps prevent over-baking and ensures your cakes bake evenly throughout.

It is best to hand wash this pan with warm, soapy water. Dishwashers can cause the aluminum to oxidize, leading to discoloration and a dull finish, which may affect the pan's performance over time.

The seamless design eliminates the crevices where batter can get stuck, resulting in cakes with perfectly smooth, straight sides. This makes it much easier to frost and stack your cakes for professional-looking results.

Because aluminum is highly conductive, it heats very efficiently. If you find your cakes are browning too quickly on the edges, you might consider lowering your oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit or using a damp baking belt around the outside of the pan.
