Nordic Ware’s rectangular and square baking pans are designed for durability, even heat distribution, and consistent baking results. Made from high-quality, pure aluminum, these pans resist rust and will never warp, ensuring they last for years. Their natural aluminum surface promotes excellent browning, while reinforced rims add extra strength to prevent warping. Proudly made in the USA, these pans are trusted by home bakers and professionals alike.
These quality baking pans are made from pure, uncoated aluminum, which ensures superior heat conductivity for even baking. The reinforced steel rim provides added strength and prevent warping over time. These high-quality materials make the pans durable, rust-resistant, and reliable for everyday baking.
Yes, baking times can vary depending on the size and depth of the cake pan. Larger or deeper pans may require more baking time, while smaller pans may bake faster. It’s always best to check for doneness using a toothpick or cake tester and adjust baking times as needed. If using a different pan size than a recipe suggests, consider lowering the oven temperature slightly and monitoring the bake closely.
The most commonly used square baking pan size is 8×8 inches. It’s a versatile choice for brownies, bars, cakes, and casseroles. Many recipes are designed with this size in mind, though 9×9-inch pans are also popular and can often be used interchangeably with slight adjustments to baking time.
It’s best to avoid using metal utensils on aluminum pans, as they can scratch the surface. While these pans are uncoated and won’t lose a nonstick layer, scratches can still impact their longevity. Instead, use silicone, plastic, or wooden utensils to maintain the pan’s surface and performance over time.
Because Nordic Ware’s Naturals™ pans are uncoated aluminum, lightly greasing or lining them with parchment paper is recommended for easy release, especially for baked goods with a high sugar content. For recipes like brownies or cakes, butter, shortening, or nonstick baking spray can help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
To keep your Nordic Ware aluminum pans in top condition, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended. Avoid using harsh scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the surface. Over time, aluminum may develop a natural patina, which does not affect performance. Always dry the pan thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and ensure longevity.
