From the manufacturer


Naturals Aluminum Bakeware
The superior heat conductivity of aluminum ensures that you achieve consistent, evenly browned results every time you bake. Pure aluminum will never rust, and a reinforced, encapsulated rim prevents warping.

• Nordic Ware pioneered natural aluminum bakeware for the consumer market over 15 years ago and now has over 40 styles available in the collection
• Made of pure, uncoated natural aluminum
• 100% made in USA in Minneapolis, Minnesota
• Encapsulated solid core steel rim
• Pans are made of a special hardened aluminum alloy that provides superbly uniform heat conductivity and maximizes scratch resistance
• Shiny and non-porous natural aluminum provides natural nonstick performance
• Embossed Nordic Ware logo signal quality and value from a trusted legacy brand for over 70 years
Encapsulated Solid Core Steel Rim
Coils of wire
Having an encapsulated steel rim adds structural support to prevent warping of the pan.
Bending wires to size
Wires are bent to perfectly fit inside the rim of our bakeware sheets.
A finished wire
Wires are made of Galvanized Steel and will not rust.
Steel rim fully encapsulated
An encapsulated steel rim turns an exceptional baking sheet into a product that will withstand a lifetime of use.

Use and Care for Natural Aluminum
• Before initial use and after subsequent uses, hand wash with warm, soapy water.
• Dishwasher use is not advised as discoloration will occur due to the cleaning agents used in automatic dishwasher detergent. This discoloration is merely cosmetic and will not affect baking properties or safety of the pan.
• Natural aluminum pans work well with parchment paper, silicone baking mats, and also traditional butter or shortening and flour methods. When roasting savory foods such as vegetables, butter or cooking oil work well.
• Nylon, wood, or silicone utensils are recommended. Metal utensils and scouring pads may scratch natural aluminum pans, but will not affect baking performance
• Aluminum is reactive to acidic ingredients such as vinegar and tomato products. These foods may darken, pit or corrode the pan after prolonged use.

They’re so easy to clean, anything baked on it comes off so easily when I clean them. They bake things evenly. If I don’t bake with a liner, there’s only slight stickiness. They’re super sturdy and scratch resistance.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2025Style: 12-Cup Muffin PanSize: 12-CavitiesVerified PurchaseSounds silly but this is beautiful bakeware! The only issue was that it was scratched on one end on the edge and around one of the cups. Maybe being too picky but I did pay $18 for a muffin pan and would like for it to start out unscratched. I had an aluminum muffin pan that I used for 20+ years and it was my favorite. Finally I had to throw it away since it was not the quality of Nordic Ware. A lot of difference in the final product when using aluminum rather than the other things available. It is quite heavy and very well made and I look forward to using it. I will update my review after baking and I will be buying other Nordic ware items as well.
Would definitely recommend their products!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2025Style: 12-Cup Muffin PanSize: 12-CavitiesVerified PurchaseIt could be because it is considered "commercial" but this muffin tin is hefty (not necessarily in a bad way). I am a big fan of Nordicware pans because they don't "pop" in the oven and was looking to replace my previous (non nordicware) muffin tin. It cooks the muffins super evenly due to the light aluminum color. Fair warning though: I recommend taking some oil and a paper towel and wiping the inside of the tin - it had a coating of black something that wasn't visible till i sprayed cooking spray, even though I washed it before use.
So, wipe with oiled paper towel, then wash thoroughly. Also, I think it says dishwasher safe but, for any pan, I recommend hand washing to avoid early rusting.
I will say, I had to replace this item because Amazon originally sent me a roasting pan that had a "muffin pan" sticker but it was definitely not a muffin pan. But the exchange/ return of the "not muffin pan" was easy.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025Style: 12-Cup Muffin PanSize: 12-CavitiesVerified PurchaseHaven't used it yet. It seems super sturdy and I like the compact size. Just a little smaller than my old muffin pan I am replacing. I did purchase one that already returned. It was in like new condition but not in original packaging. I do wish there was a little brand marking on it though showing it's definitely Nordicware Brand. Hoping I definitely got that and not a replica or something.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2016Style: 24-Cup Petite Muffin PanSize: 24-CavitiesVerified PurchaseYears ago at a garage sale I found a pair of muffin pans that had 9 cups in each pan, so they made 18 muffins in a size between regular and mini muffins. I still have those, but they have a seam/ridge around each cup, and I've been hoping to find a similar size that is easier to clean. The cups in this pan are a little wider and shallower, but they're the closest I've found.
I use these for muffins, not cupcakes, so I don't care if there are no liners that fit. I like the crust on muffins and liners make the crusts soft.
So,
Pros:
- More crust in proportion to the middles
- Easy to clean
- Nordic Ware quality, so they should last forever
- They are the right size and shape to make tea cakes
Cons:
- If you're trying to make cupcakes there aren't many liners that will fit
- Almost too shiny, so it's harder to get the crusts brown, but that should improve with time
- So shallow that it's hard to split the muffins open for buttering
- Since the cups are all in one pan it's harder to turn them out, it needs a large platter or a sheet pan
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024Style: Standard with High-Domed LidSize: 12-CavitiesVerified PurchaseI decided it was time to get better quality cookware. I love the color of the raw aluminum and it helps me keep track of how clean the pans are. Having a uniform and clean surface is important for consistency in the finished cook. The aluminum is very sturdy and works extremely well. The aluminum is perfect for my cooking style which allows for a little longer cook time at a lower, consistent heat. The only thing to be aware and cautious of is how easy they can scratch each other if slid into a stack. I just gently stack them rather than forcing metal to slide on metal. I find that the aluminum does an excellent job to create an easy surface to remove food from.

Style: 12-Cup Muffin PanSize: 12-CavitiesVerified PurchaseExcelente, es un molde robusto y bonito. Hornie de maravilla mis primeras mantecadas. La limpieza súper fácil (utilicé capacillos). Lo único que puedo reprochar es que tenía unos pequeños arañazos, aunque este detalle me pareció insignificante considerando el propósito del molde.
- The hose is very thin plastic and arrived cracked which resulted in urine all over my carpet. How was I to know to check them. Annoyed, frustrated, disappointed. The bottle and other parts are very well made. Shame. I purchased 4 and 2 were cracked.Reviewed in Australia on October 25, 2024

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product!
Style: Standard with High-Domed LidSize: 12-CavitiesVerified PurchaseAmazing product! Material is so much better than teflon and other non-stick options. And the lid that is great for proofing muffins. I tried baking muffins in four 'modes' in one go, to confirm the effectiveness - a quarter without anything, a quarter only greased, a quarter greased-n-floured, and a quarter in paper cups. Paper cups - no issue there. Muffins popped out easily from the greased-n-floured pan cups. Getting the muffins out from the greased ones only was a bit tricky... but, came out once motivated with a gentle nudge (though they looked fried and greasy - which makes sense.... but may not be to everyone's liking). Not greasing the pan cups works... though, it's a bit annoying getting the final product out (they ended up coming out with minimum damage) and the pan requires more after-cleaning effort. Overall - very happy with the product (the muffins bake nicely and evenly, too!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for countertop Breville oven
Style: 12-Cup Muffin PanSize: 12-CavitiesVerified PurchaseI’ve been searching for a standard size 12-cup muffin pan that can fit my countertop Breville oven. This one does it. There is not much space between the cups but enough rooms to grow tall muffin tops. Now I don’t need to heat up the whole kitchen with the full-size oven any more.
I’m surprise there is no Nordic logo on the pan but it feels and holds well like my other Nordic pans. It’s not so heavy but not flimsy at all, no warping so far. Since it’s not coated steel like most pans on the market, it won’t get rusted. There is NO seams around the cups so no crumb, food getting stuck in crevices. That makes easy clean up. A quick hand-wash (since it’s aluminum) is all it needs. I pop it back to the warm oven to dry the pan quicker.
I’m going to get another one when it’s on sales so I don't have to wait for the pan to cool down. You can’t go wrong with Nordic pans.
