Most bakeware is made of a single layer of metal, often with one or more coatings. Baking takes place in an oven, using indirect heat, rather than over a direct-heat burner. As a result, bakeware does not have to be complex, heavy, and rely upon expensive laminated metals that you find in quality cookware. However, premium brands such as Kitchen Aid or Wilton bakeware may offer more complex layered products to give you great performance and long working life inside the oven.
A Wide Range Of Bakeware Materials To Choose From. You'll find bakeware made of bright stamped aluminum, dark aluminum (with a layer of aluminum oxide), aluminized steel (carbon steel with an aluminum-silicone coating), glazed carbon steel, tinned steel, copper, cast aluminum, and cast iron. You will also see stainless steel bakeware, glass bakeware, ceramic bakeware, silicone bakeware, various nonstick-coated surfaces, two layers of metal with an airspace, plastic-coated aluminum foil, plastic coated pressed paper, and . and more. They all work.
Common Bakeware features & advantages:
Size And Materials Affects Your Baking. The color, weight, and thickness of the material used in all bakeware definitely affects baking time and temperature; but you can get successful results with any cake pan material as long as you understand how to use it. So you have to be a savvy baker when you are substituting one bakeware piece for another. And it helps to have some experience making a given recipe with a particular kind of cake pan before committing to a high-risk project, whether at home or in a commercial cooking environment.
Disposable Bakware Versus Long Life Commercial. If you volunteer to make pies for a bake sale, you most likely want to use disposable pie pans, not glass bakeware. If you are making novelty-shape cupcakes for your four-year-old's birthday party, you're not going to have a lot more occasions for those chipmunk molds; so you want to look for inexpensive novelty cake pans.
On the other hand, if you want to make sandwich bread every week for the rest of your life or if you're an inveterate cookie baker, you don't want to use a disposable pan when you can get commercial bakeware.
Leading Bakeware Brands To Look For. Many companies sell bakeware. Look at Wilton bakeware ( wilton.com ) and Kaiser bakeware ( kaiserbakeware.com ) for a broad range of cake pans and novelty items; Chicago Metallic, makers of Betty Crocker bakeware, for bread pans and commercial bakeware, as well as information about disposables (you can't buy from them directly, but you'll learn a lot). Other bakeware brand manufacturers include All Clad, Calphalon, Corning, Cuisinart, Farberware, Hamilton Beach, Le Creuset and Mauviel.
Choose the right kitchen bakeware from brands such as Pyrex, Wilton and Kitchen Aid for your purpose.
