Frequently Asked Questions
What are the gauge of material for sheet pans?
Chicago Metallic Bakeware’s aluminum sheet pans are available in 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20-gauge.
Stainless steel is 20-gauge, 304 grade.

What is the difference between glaze & DuraShield?
Our AMERICOAT® ePlus glaze is an FDA-approved silicone-based glaze that we apply at our factory. DuraShield® is an FDA-approved dark non-stick fluoropolymer coating. AMERICOAT ePlus cuts down the need for oil and parchment use and DuraShield completely eliminates the need for these products. Both coatings greatly simplify pan clean up.
How long does glaze last?
Glaze coatings will last approximately 600 releases. This depends on the product you use and how well you care for your pans. Pans used for baking products with a high sugar content may not have as many uses as non-sugary products. Schedule a consultation to learn more.

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 Bakeware 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%, is PFOA and PTFE-free and helps reduce staining.
