What is aluminized steel?
Aluminized steel is steel that has been hot-dip coated on both sides with an aluminum-silicon alloy. The silicon provides adherence of the aluminum which then protects against corrosion. With proper care, aluminized steel bakeware will perform exceptionally well.
What is BĀKALON?
BĀKALON pans from Chicago Metallic are constructed from high-strength aluminum with a durable hardcoat anodized surface that will not chip, peel, rust, or interact with food, and is safe for use with metal utensils. The dark surface color also absorbs heat when in the oven, allowing for faster baking times at lower temperatures.
What is pre-seasoned BĀKALON?
This pan comes pre-seasoned with AMERICOAT® ePlus, the leading silicone coating technology used on all Chicago Metallic glazed pans. Using breakthrough silicone resins to achieve unparalleled results, AMERICOAT® ePlus is specifically formulated for bakeware applications and is suitable for contact with food per FDA code 21CFR175.300. This coating provides up to 30% more releases than other silicone glazes, reduces bread and cake pan oil usage up to 50%, and helps reduce staining.
