About Chicago Metallic

Two years before the 20th century dawned, a Chicago area bakeware company opened for business. The 1898 Spanish-America War may have overshadowed news of the Chicago Metallic founding that year, but in the century to come the bakeware supplier prospered to make headline news. Today Chicago Metallic is the oldest manufacturer still producing commercial metal bakeware in the United States.

Pie plates for the wholesale trade dominated Chicago Metallic's early product line. Over time the bakeware company expanded into a variety of bakeware for both the professional and home baker. From juicy meatloaf and roasted chicken breasts to moist mini muffins and melted chocolate cake, Chicago Metallic pans present perfectly baked, delectable foods hot from the oven.

For decades commercial bakers relied on the unfailing quality and long-lasting durability of Chicago Metallic pans, now home bakers can, too. As the industry leader offering professional and commercial bakeware to the home baker, Chicago Metallic introduced the Checkerboard Cake Pan in the 1930s. This fun cake pan is still enjoyed by bakers worldwide.

Continuing with its long tradition of excellence, Chicago Metallic was the first manufacturer to translate trends in the food industry into bakeware for consumers. Chicago Metallic used its expertise to develop healthier products for home bakers. When tastier, nutritional muffins became a craze, Chicago Metallic introduced the 24-cup Mini Muffin Pan, Giant Muffin, Muffin Top Pan®, and Crown Muffin/Popover pans to name a few. The company's other nutrition-conscious products include the Lo-Fat Nonstick Meatloaf Set, Lo-Fat Nonstick Broiler Pans, and the Baked Tortilla/Taco Shell Pan.

Test kitchen chefs and food columnists from noted publications such as Bon Appetit and The New York Times continually give rave reviews of Chicago Metallic products. Chicago Metallic's unequaled reputation for superior quality and innovation make this historic company the best bakeware for home bakers who prefer the professional edge.
