Product Lines Explained
The same pan often exists in more than one line, and the line name describes the construction rather than the shape. Four names appear across the range.
Commercial II
Built closest to the pans used in bakeries. Heavy-weight aluminized steel with folded corners and a wire-rod reinforced rim, available both coated and uncoated. The uncoated jelly roll and loaf pans sit here, and so does a dual-coated non-stick line, so the name alone does not tell you the surface.
Professional
The broadest line and the one aimed at frequent home baking. Carbon steel or aluminized steel with a silicone-based non-stick coating, consistently coated across every category.
Uncoated Textured
Heavy-gauge 1.0 mm aluminum with a stamped texture on the base instead of a coating. The raised pattern reduces contact between food and metal and lets air move underneath, which achieves release without a surface layer that can wear. The only line that publishes its metal thickness.
Arch Textured
0.5 mm carbon steel with a textured base under a non-stick coating, plus rounded domed rims that add rigidity and give a grip point on a hot pan.
Coated and Uncoated Bakeware
Across every category the range splits between coated pans and bare metal, and the choice matters more than the difference between one line and another.
Non-stick coatings release without greasing and clean up faster. Chicago Metallic recommends hand washing on coated pans, including ones its own listings mark dishwasher safe, which is a fair indication of what dishwasher detergent does to a coating over time.
Uncoated aluminized steel and uncoated aluminum brown more directly, which suits cookie bottoms, roast vegetables and bread crust, and there is no surface layer that can degrade. These pans need greasing or lining and are washed by hand.
The nine-inch round cake pan is the clearest place to see the difference, because it exists in three lines at exactly the same size, two coated and one bare.
Consumer and Foodservice Ranges
Chicago Metallic supplies commercial bakeries as well as home kitchens, and the two catalogues are separate. This site covers the consumer range sold on Amazon.
Pullman loaf pans with lids, full-size 26 by 18 inch sheet pans, the StayFlat commercial series, Bakalon deep dish pizza pans, Detroit-style pans, crown and Texas muffin trays, hoagie and hot dog bun pans, Bundt and fluted tube pans all belong to the foodservice catalogue and sell through restaurant supply channels rather than Amazon.
Model numbers in the 40000, 44000 and 45000 series usually indicate that catalogue. Where a close consumer equivalent exists, it is noted on the relevant category page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Chicago Metallic a good bakeware brand?
Ratings across the range on Amazon run mostly between 4.4 and 4.8 stars, with several pans holding those averages across thousands of ratings. The brand sits between supermarket bakeware and premium American-made lines such as USA Pan, with construction features carried over from commercial baking pans: heavy-gauge steel, folded corners and wire-rod reinforced rims.
Is Chicago Metallic bakeware dishwasher safe?
It varies by pan, and the listings and the manufacturer do not always agree. Many coated pans are marked dishwasher safe while the same product description recommends hand washing to extend the life of the coating. The Uncoated Textured aluminum pans are hand wash only. Each category page lists the stated care instruction for every model.
What is the difference between Commercial II and Professional?
Professional is coated throughout, in carbon or aluminized steel with a silicone-based non-stick surface. Commercial II includes both coated and uncoated pans, so the line name does not indicate the surface. Neither line publishes a metal thickness, so they cannot be compared on gauge. Only the Uncoated Textured line, at 1.0 mm, and the Arch Textured line, at 0.5 mm, give a figure.
What temperature can these pans handle?
Most pans are rated to 450 °F, which appears on some listings as 230 or 232 °C. The creme brulee set is rated to 500 °F, the highest in the range. Some models publish no figure at all, and at least one pan is rated for the oven but not for use under a broiler, so the individual listing is worth checking.
Why do some Chicago Metallic model numbers not appear on Amazon?
Chicago Metallic runs separate consumer and foodservice catalogues. Pullman pans, full-size sheet pans, the StayFlat and Bakalon series, Detroit-style pizza pans, crown and Texas muffin trays and Bundt pans are sold through restaurant supply channels rather than Amazon. Model numbers in the 40000, 44000 and 45000 series usually belong to that catalogue.
