A commercial quality bread pan that is hand-made in Australia from uncoated aluminized steel.
Aluminized steel is steel that has been hot-dip coated on both sides with an aluminum-silicon alloy. The silicon provides adherence of the aluminum which then protects against corrosion, allowing for the use of the product without worrying about rust. It is also used for heat exchangers in furnaces, in fireplaces, ovens, and of course baking pans.
Aluminized steel pans are solidly built and most often come with rolled edges covering internal steel wires for extra support which prevents warping in high temperatures. The aluminized steel bakeware has a thick, solid feel to it and will cost more than value priced bakeware, but is worth the added cost. Aluminized steel pans are known for their terrific performance and long life.
