Thank you for purchasing a Focus Foodservice Glazed Aluminized Steel & Glazed
Aluminum Pan. As you will soon find out, this is the BEST bakeware you can buy.
To achieve the best performance and longest life from your bakeware, please read and comply with these instructions.
Make sure to wipe pans with a warm, dry cloth before first use.
Care of Pans
• Prior to baking, pans should be sprayed with a lubricant and placed in the oven for 8 – 10 minutes to “season” the pan.
Seasoning will prolong the life of the glaze. The more a pan is used, the greater the amount of lubricant needed.
• After baking, the pan should be depanned as soon as possible, preferably while the pan is still warm. Allowing food
product to remain in the pan creates moisture, which can cause glaze lifting and glaze failure.
• Do not use metal utensils or other objects that could scratch the coating. Scratching the coating can cause coating
failure and premature corrosion to the pan.
• We do not recommend storing pans in a cold or damp area. Moisture can damage the coating and cause premature
corrosion to the pan.
• Do not store baked or unbaked products in the pans. Moisture that accumulates under the product, combined with the
sugars and starches in the products, forms corrosive by-products that will dissolve the coating and corrode the pan surface.
Cleaning of Pans
When cleaning your pans, it is very important to take great care to avoid damage to the coating and/or pans.
• Wiping the pan with a soft dry cloth is usually all that is required to clean the pan. Try to avoid washing pans whenever possible.
• If pans must be washed, use a mild soap or detergent rinse with cold water and dry immediately. DO NOT USE
ALKALINE-BASED OR OTHER HARSH CLEANERS, as these will damage or remove the coating and cause corrosion
to the pan. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PADS TO CLEAN PANS. Water temperature should be as low as possible as steam
from hot water will also damage the coating.
• If pans are washed, pans should be seasoned.
• DO NOT USE WATER UNDER HIGH PRESSURE, as this can cause permanent coating failure or coating removal.
• NEVER SOAK PANS, as this will also damage the coating.
• DO NOT PUT PANS IN DISHWASHER.
• Make sure pans are completely dry before stacking. Store pans upside down if possible. NEVER STORE PANS WET.
