Williams Sonoma Goldtouch Pro Cake Pan

The Goldtouch coating is a proprietary ceramic-reinforced finish designed for superior release and durability. Unlike standard nonstick surfaces, it is specifically engineered to withstand the high heat of baking while preventing delicate cakes from sticking to the sides.

While the pan is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water. This helps preserve the integrity of the nonstick coating and extends the overall lifespan of the pan.

Thanks to the high-quality nonstick surface, you can often skip the grease. However, for delicate sponge cakes or recipes with high sugar content, using a light dusting of flour or a parchment round is still a smart insurance policy.

The aluminized steel construction is designed for even heat distribution, which helps prevent hot spots. The light-colored finish reflects heat rather than absorbing it, ensuring your cakes bake through evenly without the edges becoming overly dark or crispy.

It is best to avoid metal utensils, as they can scratch or compromise the nonstick coating over time. Stick to silicone, wood, or nylon tools to keep the surface in pristine condition.
