Subtitle: Exploring the Options
Our company uses four types of non-stick coatings for baking pans: domestic Teflon, imported Teflon, imported powder coating, and imported high-sugar silicone coating. The first two are often referred to as liquid-based coatings, while the fourth is known as oily coatings. Powder coating offers the best quality and durability but comes with a higher price tag. For the same specification of a baking tray, a powder Teflon coated one can be 2.5 to 5 times more expensive than other coated bakeware, depending on factors such as powder coating thickness, materials used, and spraying processes.

- Domestic Teflon Coating: We rarely use domestic Teflon. It is typically used for baking trays with paper liners, which are easy to clean. It has around 800 non-stick times, which is relatively low. However, it is the cheapest option and is cost-effective for clients on a limited budget or those with recipes requiring paper liners.
- Imported Teflon Coating: Imported Teflon from the United States is our best-selling non-stick coating material. It comes in two varieties: American DuPont double-layer Teflon and American DuPont three-layer Teflon. Double-layer Teflon is suitable for bread with low sugar content and has around 1200-1500 non-stick times. Three-layer Teflon can reach about 1500-2000 times. Two-layer Teflon is usually black as it absorbs heat better than brown paint, resulting in a better baking effect and shorter baking time. Three-layer Teflon is often in golden or champagne color. For large orders, we can customize the color according to the customer’s preference.
Notes: Liquid-based Teflon coating doesn’t require oil injection. However, some customers may experience a small amount of adhesion on the first use, which is normal. Spraying a small amount of oil on the liquid-based Teflon baking pan for the first time is recommended to enhance the stability of non-stick performance. - Powder Teflon Coating: American DuPont powder Teflon coating is suitable for baking food products with pure flour and no oil. It can have around 3000 non-stick times. For example, KFC requires hamburger pans with this coating. It is expensive but ideal for products that need a long lifespan, like the one-piece stretched toast box we export to Africa. Powder Teflon coating is generally used on aluminized steel material as aluminum alloy has a limited service life compared to the powder coating.
- Silicone Coating: Our imported silicone non-stick coating from Japan is suitable for high-sugar cakes and has around 800-1000 non-stick times. It makes cakes easy to release and maintain their shape but is more expensive than Teflon coated pans. Due to the nature of cake batter not requiring fermentation like bread dough, silicone non-stick baking pans have lower market demand. The non-stick times of silicone bakeware depend on the food formula. A ratio of eggs to flour of 7:3 results in the best taste. Silicone bakeware requires a small amount of oil spray and regular cleaning to prevent the formation of a hardened grease layer that can cause food to stick.
What are the notes for using non-stick coatings baking pan?
Subtitle: Usage Guidelines
- Newly purchased non-stick baking pans may experience slight deformation within the first 90 days of use, which is a normal phenomenon due to metal thermal expansion and contraction and not a product quality issue.
- General Teflon non-stick baking pans are suitable for baking bread, while silicone nonstick bakeware is for high-sugar foods. Cakes being high-sugar foods require oiling the non-stick bakeware each time for better non-stick effect and a perfect outcome.
- Our baking pans are imported international brands, using advanced equipment and manufacturing technology. They are highly temperature resistant, wear-resistant, and non-stick. All products are strictly tested to meet the specified number of uses.
How many times can the non-stick coatings baking pans be used?
Subtitle: Service Life Considerations
The number of uses of non-stick baking pans depends on various factors such as use environment, baking temperature, time, and food formula. For American Dupon 3-layer Teflon non-stick coated baking pans, baking for 15 minutes at a time generally results in at least 1500/2000 non-stick times. Longer baking times can reduce the service life. The material composition of the baked food also affects the lifespan. For example, Danish dough can reach 1500/2000 times under normal baking, but sweet bread cakes with high sugar content may have a relatively shorter lifespan.

How to maintain a non-stick baking pan?
Subtitle: Care Instructions
- Clean the inside of a newly purchased non-stick coatings baking pan and dry it with warm fire or a soft cloth before use.
- Avoid using sharp metal objects, scouring pads, and chemical cleaners.
- Use a soft cloth or soft plastic scraper to remove residue after each baking.
- Don’t soak the pan in acidic cleaning liquid for a long time.
- Periodically clean with a small amount of neutral detergent in warm water and a soft cloth.
- Don’t leave baked or unbaked food in the tray as it can corrode the metal at the bottom of the non-stick coatings.
- Handle the pan carefully to avoid collisions and frictions that can damage the non-stick coating.
- Store and stack carefully, keep the pan dry, and avoid wet places.
- To prevent the non-stick coatings from losing its non-stickiness due to long-term high-low temperature differences, follow these tips: keep the baking temperature below 220°C, avoid uneven heating, don’t burn empty, and don’t use high-temperature steam for cooking or cleaning for a long time.
