Doughmakers Bakeware Care Browse our large selection of Doughmakers Bakeware on Sale Question: Shortly after I purchased Doughmakers pans, I noticed they were getting spots on them - that look like rust. However, I have never let them soak in water or leave them with any water on them.Answer: Well, the spots are not rust, because rust is something that happens to steel. Aluminum can't rust. Doughmakers have found that some things may cause discoloration of our pans. Using aerosole non-stick sprays, like Pam can cause a yellowish film to appear. Some processed foods, like Tater Tots, also have substances in them that may cause a coating to form. If a normal dishwashing detergent won't get this mystery substance off, you might try dissolving some Cream of Tartar in water and soaking the pan in this. Then scrub with a soft sponge. Question: Can I soak my pans in water? Answer: Sure you can. It won't hurt anything. The warnings against immersing bakeware comes from makers of air-insultated pans. With these 2-ply pans, if water gets in between the metal, and then is rapidly heated, such as placing it in a hot oven, then the water vapor might expand so rapidly as to cause the pan to burst its seems. Question: Is Doughmakers Bakeware dishwasher-safe? Answer: Yes. You can put your Doughmakers bakeware in your dishwasher. However, we recommend hand washing. Chemicals in some dishwasher detergents may react with the metal over time. In Doughmakers testing the pans come clean very easily with gentle washing with soapy water using a sponge or nylon scouring pan. Some scouring pads may cause slight scratching on the pan, but because Doughmakers pans are not coated, this will not effect performance Question: What happens if my pans get scratched? Answer: Some scratches will appear on the surface of your bakeware through normal use. Because Doughmakers Bakeware is not coated, scratches will not affect their performance. Question: Can I bake high-acid foods in my cake pan? Answer: High acid foods, such as those using tomato products, can be in Doughmakers pans, but should be transfered to another dish for storage. Recipes that call for a lot of high-acid sauces that will be in direct contact with the pan should probably not be baked in aluminum. The acid in the sauce might cause the pan to corrode. Pineapple Upside Down cake one recipe likely to turn out badly if prepared in aluminum because pineapple does have a high acid content. |
