Premium extra heavy gauge steel follows the same design specifications and construction techniques used to create commercial bakeware. This thicker gauge high carbon steel is almost four times the thickness of traditional bakeware, allowing it to conduct heat significantly better and prevent the buckling, warping and hot spots that are characteristics of thinner bakeware. Plus, the unique non-stick coating is electrostatically applied in a two-step process to give the bakeware a metallic shine, high resistance to abrasives and easy release of baked goods.
