USA Pan 8" Square Cake Pan — 8x8x2.25" Aluminized Steel with Americoat Nonstick and Corrugated Surface

The USA Pan 8" square cake pan is a commercial-quality aluminized steel pan with a corrugated Americoat nonstick finish designed for even baking and easy release.

Built to handle brownies, bars, cakes, cobblers and savory bakes, this 8 x 8 x 2.25 inch pan combines steel strength with aluminum’s heat conductivity. The aluminized steel core resists warping and rust while distributing heat predictably; a clear proprietary Americoat silicone-based coating gives a reliable nonstick surface and simplifies cleanup. The pan’s corrugated interior is engineered to promote airflow for improved browning and consistent results, and the straight-sided square shape produces neat, professional-looking edges.

How does this pan improve browning and crumb texture?

The corrugated pattern embossed into the baking surface creates tiny air channels that encourage even heat circulation across the bottom of baked goods. That airflow reduces hot spots and helps form a more uniform crust and color without overcooking edges.

• Corrugated surface for better air movement and heat distribution
• Aluminized steel base conducts heat rapidly and evenly
• Straight sides help maintain structure and tidy corners

Is the nonstick coating durable and food-safe for regular use?

USA Pan’s Americoat is a clear, silicone-based nonstick finish applied to the pan to aid release and speed cleanup. It’s formulated for repeated home and commercial-style baking and reduces the need for excessive greasing, while routine care preserves the coating’s performance.

• Clear Americoat nonstick finish for easier release and washing
• Designed for repeated oven use up to standard bake temperatures
• Use gentle utensils and hand-washing to extend coating life

What are the size and oven-safety details I need to know?

The internal baking surface measures 8 x 8 x 2.25 inches, with outer dimensions of 8.5 x 8.5 x 2.25 inches—ideal for classic 8-inch recipes and single-batch brownies. The aluminized steel construction stands up to regular oven use and is rated for typical home baking temperatures.

• Interior baking area: 8 x 8 x 2.25 inches
• Outer dimensions: 8.5 x 8.5 x 2.25 inches for fit considerations
• Suitable for common oven temperatures used in cakes and bars

How should I care for the pan to keep it performing well?

To maintain the nonstick coating and corrugated finish, avoid metal utensils and abrasive scouring pads. Hand washing in warm, soapy water and drying thoroughly will protect the Americoat surface and slow wear from repeated use.

• Hand wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent
• Avoid metal tools; use silicone, wood, or plastic utensils
• Store carefully to prevent scratches or dents
