Chicago Metallic: ‘Professional’ Bakeware for Everyone!

January, 2002 -- Whether you’re strictly a 'special occasion' baker or serious gourmet, there’s no reason you can’t have the same quality bakeware used by the pros. Chicago Metallic, The Bakeware Company, uses the expertise that has made their products the choice of professional and commercial bakers around the world to give home bakers the professional edge. Chicago Metallic uses only “coil-coating” to bond high-quality PTFE non-stick coatings to the metal at peak temperatures over 700F. This state-of the art process is used by most major appliance manufacturers to ensure consistent, even coverage that gives the home baker superior performance, particularly in roasting and broiling applications. And their proprietary “folding” technology uses steel folded over at the ends to triple the corner thickness and reinforce the rim (when needed, a wire rod is curled inside the rim for extra strength).

Innovation is the hallmark of Chicago Metallic. When the muffin craze took off, the company brought new muffin shapes to market. . . including the 24-cup Mini Muffin Pan, the Giant Muffin, Texas Muffin, Muffin Top Pan, Crown Muffin/Popover, 12-Cup Mini Popover, and Shortcake Muffin Pans.

Accordingly, the consumer’s desire for healthier lifestyles prompted the creation of the first Lo-Fat Non-Stick Meatloaf Set and Lo-Fat Non-Stick Broiler Pans and most recently, the Baked Tortilla/Taco Shell Pan, to offer the Taco Salad lover a healthy alternative to the fat-filled fried tortilla shell.

There’s lots of fun in these innovative products, too. Chicago Metallic, who introduced the first Checkerboard Cake Set over 50 years ago, even introduced a SilverStone Checkerboard Cake Set. And a new, classic-size 15”x 10” Jelly Roll Pan rounds out a selection of three heavy-duty pans that are ideal for everything from pizza to cookies to the traditional Yule Log.

Even kids can get into the act, with the Kidz Baking Klub line of kid-size pans, edible (Deco-Edible) papers, paints and markers, and stampers, stencils and dot-tippers to create great edible crafts.
