Care & Use Guide

Aluminum Pans, Screens & Discs
Aluminum is a soft metal that is attacked by detergents with a high alkaline or acidic nature. Use detergents made specifically for aluminum. Through repeated use, aluminum will soften and, if scoured, will thin.

Hard Coat Pans
These pans are made from heavy weight aluminum. Hard coat anodizing is a synergistic electrochemical process that converts the surface of aluminum into aluminum oxide. The aluminum oxide is a dark color. The finish is hard and will not flake off. However, the aluminum, underneath is soft and, through repeated use, the pan will soften. If scoured, the pan will thin. Hard coat pans are not non-stick and must be seasoned.

To Season Hard Coat Pans
Wash and dry pans thoroughly. Wipe oil on the inside and outside surfaces of the pan and allow it to soak in for 30 minutes. Then bake at regular cooking times and temperatures. Do not over-bake and do not wash off excess oil. Just wipe. The oil residue and any additional oil added before baking makes the pan stick resistant. Do not expose these pans to dishwashers or caustic cleaning solutions. Use detergents made specifically for aluminum.

QuikStart Pre-season Coating
Experts agree that pizza pans cook better with age and that the best results are obtained after hundreds of baking cycles work to develop a perfectly seasoned surface. Historically, the only way to obtain that surface has been to bake a lot of pizzas.

Now, we are pleased to introduce our revolutionary QuikStart coating. Our exclusive QuikStart process has been specifically developed to ease the pan through the first few cycles and to more quickly produce the finely seasoned baking surface we all desire.
