CLEAN AS YOU GO

Wiping still-warm pans with a clean towel, or a towel that has pan lubricant on it, usually provides adequate cleaning. You must reseason BÄ€KALON^® pans after any washing.

WASH WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER

BÄ€KALON^® pans can be washed with pH-neutral products, but only if necessary. Many BÄ€KALON^® users only wash them at the end of the day. Do not use acidic cleansers or alkaline detergents. Use of these chemicals will damage the BÄ€KALON^® surface and can
actually destroy the inner core of aluminum.

RESEASONING PROCESS

BÄ€KALON^® pans must be re-seasoned after every washing. Use the “Pre-seasoning Process” described under the BÄ€KALON^® Initial Use menu. Used pans require the addition of oil prior to panning the baked product. Use only enough oil to achieve the desired bake.
Note: Many recipes include enough oil so that additional pan oil may not need to be used.

SCRUBBING THE OUTSIDE OF BÄ€KALON^® PANS

At some point it may become necessary to scrub down the outside of the pan, even though the inside of the pan may still be smooth and clean. For this process, we recommend using a foodservice scrubbing pad. Because BÄ€KALON^® pans have a very hard surface, the pan will not be damaged by scrubbing. Be sure to use a pH-neutral detergent, however, since the use of highly alkaline or highly acidic cleaning compounds will ruin the BÄ€KALON^® surface.
