Chicago Metallic Cake Pans
Twelve models on Amazon: round pans at 8 and 9 inches, a graduated three-piece set, springform, angel food, tart and a 9 by 13 inch rectangular pan.
The nine-inch round pan exists in three different product lines at the same diameter, which makes it the clearest place to see what Professional, Commercial II and Uncoated Textured actually mean.
All Twelve Models
Diameters and depths are given as published by the manufacturer. Straight sides are standard across the round pans.

Round Cake Pans by Size
Six round pans cover the two standard layer-cake diameters plus a graduated set. All have straight sides, which is what gives a layer cake a clean vertical edge when the layers are stacked.
Eight Inch
Model 16628 is the Professional eight-inch pan, heavy-weight aluminized steel with a silicone-based non-stick coating, 8 inches across by 2 inches deep. Model 59628 covers the same diameter in the Commercial II line, built from heavy-gauge aluminized steel with a dual-layer non-stick coating. Both are rated to 230 °C.
Nine Inch
Three pans share the nine-inch diameter. Model 16629 is the Professional version in carbon steel with a reinforced rolled rim. Model 59629 is the Commercial II version in heavy-weight aluminized steel with the dual non-stick coating. Model 5237982 is the Uncoated Textured version, heavy-gauge 1.0 mm aluminum with no coating at all and an encapsulated wire rod rim, rated to 450 °F.
Three-Piece Set, 6, 8 and 10 Inch
Model 5233128 covers tiered cakes in one purchase: three graduated pans at 6, 8 and 10 inches, each 2 inches deep, in heavy-weight aluminized steel with a non-stick coating and rated to 450 °F. The three diameters stack into a conventional tiered cake without needing a separate pan for each layer.
Springform and Two-Piece Pans
Two designs in this range come apart rather than releasing their contents by inversion, because some cakes cannot be turned upside down at all.
Springform, 8 and 9 Inch
Models 16408 and 16409 use a spring latch that clamps the side wall against the base, giving a tight seal during baking and letting the wall lift away afterwards. Heavy-weight carbon steel with a silicone-based non-stick coating, rated to 230 °C, hand wash. The eight-inch and nine-inch versions are identical apart from diameter.
For individual portions rather than a single large cake, the 12-cup mini-cheesecake pan uses removable bottoms to achieve the same result on a smaller scale.
Angel Food Pan with Cooling Feet
Model 16184 is a two-piece pan with a removable centre tube, 9.5 inches across by 4 inches high, holding 16 cups. Heavy-weight carbon steel, rated to 232 °C.
The feet on the rim are functional. Angel food cake is stabilised by egg-white foam rather than fat, and it has to cool upside down so the crumb sets under its own weight instead of collapsing. The feet hold the inverted pan clear of the counter while that happens. The removable tube then lifts the cake out without pressing on the sides.
Specialty Shapes
Three pans in the range produce a specific form rather than a plain round or rectangular cake.
Mini Multi-Tier
Model 26633 bakes four individual tiered cakes in one pass, each tapering from a 4-inch base to a 2-inch top. Heavy-weight aluminized steel with a silicone-based non-stick coating, rated to 232 °C. Weddings, showers and anniversary tables are the intended use, where four small cakes serve better than one large one.
Tart Pan, 11 Inch
Model 5228729 is an 11-inch round tart pan from the Arch Textured line, built from 0.5 mm carbon steel with a non-stick coating over a textured base. The rims are rounded and domed, which adds rigidity and gives a grip point when the pan comes out of a hot oven. Tarts, quiches and shallow cakes.
Rectangular, 9 by 13 Inch
Model 5237986 is the standard American sheet-cake size in heavy-gauge 1.0 mm aluminum, uncoated, with a textured base and an encapsulated wire rod rim, rated to 450 °F. The same pan handles brownies and warm dips as well as cake.
Product Lines at the Same Diameter
The nine-inch round pan is the clearest illustration of what the line names mean, because three versions exist at exactly the same size.
- Professional, model 16629. Carbon steel with a single non-stick coating and a reinforced rolled rim. Rated to 230 °C.
- Commercial II, model 59629. Heavy-weight aluminized steel with a dual-layer non-stick coating. Rated to 230 °C.
- Uncoated Textured, model 5237982. Heavy-gauge 1.0 mm aluminum, no coating, textured base and encapsulated wire rod rim. Rated to 450 °F.
The same three-way split appears at eight inches between models 16628 and 59628, and across the wider range in the loaf pans and baking sheets. Metal thickness is published only for the Uncoated Textured pans, at 1.0 mm, and for the Arch Textured tart pan at 0.5 mm.
Bundt, Square and Commercial Cake Pans
Fluted and novelty shapes belong to the Chicago Metallic foodservice catalogue rather than the consumer range. Bundt pan 50136, bundtlette pan 50624, the fluted tube pan 51605, angel food and tube pans 46540, 46545, 46550 and 46565, square pan 21500, springform 40406 and the checkerboard and Mary Ann sets all sell through restaurant supply channels and are not part of the range covered here.
Model 10001, which appears in searches as a Chicago Metallic cake filler, is commercial depositing equipment rather than bakeware.
For a tube-shaped cake in the consumer range, model 16184 is the available option, with a straight-sided tube and removable centre rather than the fluted profile of a Bundt pan.
Specifications and Care
- Hand washing is recommended across the range, including on pans the listings mark dishwasher safe. Models 16184, 16408, 16409, 16629, 5237982 and 5237986 are listed as hand wash.
- Pooled ratings. Amazon groups several of these pans under shared parent listings. Models 16628, 16629 and 5233128 all display 9,469 ratings; models 16408 and 16409 both show 546; models 59628 and 59629 both show 534. Each figure covers the group rather than the individual pan.
- Temperature ratings appear in different units. Models 5233128, 5237982 and 5237986 state 450 °F. Models 16628, 16629, 16408, 16409, 59628 and 59629 state 230 °C, and models 16184 and 26633 state 232 °C.
- Metal thickness is published for the Uncoated Textured pans at 1.0 mm and the Arch Textured tart pan at 0.5 mm. The other pans give no gauge figure.
- Uncoated pans need lining or greasing. Models 5237982 and 5237986 have no release coating, and model 16184 is designed to be used ungreased so the batter can climb the sides.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does an angel food cake pan have feet?
Angel food cake is held up by egg-white foam rather than fat, so it has to cool upside down while the crumb sets. The feet on model 16184 hold the inverted pan clear of the counter during that stage. The two-piece design with a removable centre tube then lifts the cake out without pressing on the sides.
What is the difference between a springform pan and a regular cake pan?
A springform pan has a spring latch that clamps the side wall to the base and releases it after baking, so the cake never has to be turned upside down. Models 16408 and 16409 cover the 8 and 9 inch sizes. Cheesecakes and other soft-set cakes need this because inverting them is not possible.
Which Chicago Metallic cake pan sizes are available?
Round pans come in 8 and 9 inch, both 2 inches deep, and model 5233128 adds a three-piece set at 6, 8 and 10 inches. The range also includes a 9 by 13 inch rectangular pan, an 11 inch tart pan and a 9.5 by 4 inch angel food pan.
What is the difference between the Professional, Commercial II and Uncoated Textured lines?
At nine inches all three exist side by side. Model 16629 is Professional, carbon steel with a single non-stick coating. Model 59629 is Commercial II, heavy-weight aluminized steel with a dual-layer coating. Model 5237982 is Uncoated Textured, 1.0 mm aluminum with a textured base and no coating.
Does Chicago Metallic make a Bundt pan?
Fluted Bundt and bundtlette pans, including models 50136, 50624 and 51605, are part of the foodservice catalogue and sell through restaurant supply channels rather than Amazon. In the consumer range, model 16184 is the tube pan option, with straight sides and a removable centre rather than a fluted profile.
