• Pans are manufactured with high-quality materials for unmatched durability and strength.
• Pans are coated with DuraShield®, the longest lasting non-stick fluoropolymer coating available. Certified PFOA-free, DuraShield is proven to provide superior release over glaze coatings for sticky doughs, such as gluten-free doughs.

BĀKALON Pans
BĀKALON Pans are hardcoat anodized aluminum pans that provide optimal strength, durability, and thermal conductivity. The nearly permanent protective dark gray cooking surface will not chip, peel, rust, or interact with food.... More Info Less Info




• Through an electro-chemical process, our BĀKALON pan surfaces react to form an ultra-hard and durable oxide layer that resists abrasion and corrosion. In fact, the surface hardness of our BĀKALON pans is second only to diamonds, which makes it the most durable pan surface you can buy.
• Pre-Seasoned BĀKALON pans have Chicago Metallic’s proprietary AMERICOAT® ePlus glaze baked into the pores, creating a non-stick surface that can be used with metal utensils. Even after being washed, pre-seasoned pans will continue to hold these properties, reducing oil and release agent usage and providing extreme flexibility.
• A perfect bake can be achieved every time since the dark surface of hard anodized pans provides quick and even heat distribution. Bakers can achieve faster bake times at lower temperatures versus plain aluminum pans, ultimately lowering energy consumption and eliminating soggy crusts.
