The pan is hard-coated with AMERICOAT® pre-seasoning, providing a nonstick surface that resists nicks from metal utensils while maintaining superior heat distribution.

Its 1.7 lbs weight and solid construction provide stability on oven racks, preventing warping or deformation—critical for maintaining uniform baking.
