Frequently Asked Questions

The coating is PFOA free.

Light baking pans reflect heat, while dark pans tend to absorb it, which can make a difference in your baking. Dark pans cook faster and are more likely to burn baked goods than light pans. If you opt to use dark pans, you would most likely need to reduce the heat and the baking time by approximately 25%.

A sheet pan that has a continuous lip around all four sides is typically called a Jelly Roll Pan or Sheet Pan. A pan that has at least one flat side is called a cookie sheet; the flat side makes it easy to slide the baked product off the end.

Commercial ovens typically use a Full Sheet Jelly Roll. Because home ovens are not this large, Jelly Rolls are offered in varying sizes such as Half Sheet and Quarter Sheets. OXO offers the following sizes:

Half Sheet – 13 x 18 x 1

Traditional Jelly Roll – 10 x 15 x 1

Quarter Sheet – 9 x 13 x 1

The edges of our bakeware are formed from a single piece of steel molded into a unique square-roll shape rather than from folding the steel over a piece of wire. This uniform construction and square-rolled edge not only help prevent warping but also provide structure, strength and a secure grip for easy handling and transferring to and from the oven.

Straight side-walls on cake pans are ideal for making uniform layer cakes. Our loaf pan is tapered as this is a common shape used for baking loaves of bread and savory loaf recipes.

What is the “stay-flat” feature on the Jelly Roll Pans (Half Sheet, Jelly Roll & Quarter Sheet)?

This small detail in the side walls of these pans help prevent and/or minimize the likelihood of the pans warping.

The OXO Non-stick Pizza Pan does not have holes but our micro-textured baking surface minimizes surface contact and promotes airflow for a consistent, even baking of the crust. It works well for frozen, homemade or reheating pizza.

OXO wooden utensils are made from solid one piece beech wood.

To remove natural shedding, simply rub a brown paper bag over the utensil, which will help remove the particles.

Your wooden utensils should be conditioned from time to time with a food grade mineral oil.

This depends on how often they are used, however normally when they appear to be drying out completely.

Food grade mineral oil is used to treat wooden cutting boards and utensils. It is used to keep the wood from cracking and drying out. It can be purchased at some grocery stores, and specialty kitchen shops.

No. Olive or other vegetable oils will eventually turn rancid when exposed to air. Standard mineral oil may not be food grade.
