WHY WOULD I WANT ANODIZED BAKEWARE?
Natural aluminum is porous like a sponge and absorbs the fats, sugar, oil, dish soap and detergents that it comes in contact with. Anodizing aluminum creates a durable, non-reactive surface which allows you to bake a wider-variety of ingredients like citrus fruits and tomato-based foods and sauces. Typically, ingredients that react poorly with ‘natural aluminum’ and ‘aluminized steel’ products and can actually leach unwanted flavors, and even aluminum, back into your baking. Anodizing ‘safe-seals’ the natural pores of aluminum creating a smoother, thicker, completely sealed and more versatile baking surface.
Anodizing is not a coating. It’s an environmentally-safe process that contains no chemical additives, dyes, CFC’s, PTFE’s or PFOA’s. Anodizing is the reason Fat Daddio’s Bakeware will never chip, flake, peel, pit or rust.
