Aluminized Steel Half Sheet Pan
Utilizes a proprietary silicone coating called Americoat, which is a safe, PTFE/PFOA-free alternative to traditional non-stick. The fluted surface design maximizes airflow and structural integrity.
Ingredients & Purity
Aluminized steel (steel core for strength, aluminum coating for conductivity) coated with a clear, non-toxic silicone.
Scientific Evidence
Americoat is specifically formulated to be free of BPA, PFOA, and PTFE, though detailed clinical trials on the coating are proprietary.
Brand Transparency
Very transparent about being PFAS-free and manufactured in Pennsylvania, USA.
Value Assessment
Higher price point than pure aluminum, but the non-stick convenience is worth it for bakers who want to avoid oils and parchment.
Why Not Alternatives?
The fluted surface allows for better air circulation than flat pans, and the aluminized steel construction is more warp-resistant than standard carbon steel found in big-box stores.
