La Forme pans are made of commercial-weight steel to provide even and gentle heat distribution for consistent browning and baking. The 2-layer nonstick interior and exterior coating eliminates the need for flouring pans, resulting in baked goods with a smooth crumb. It also allows for quick and easy release.

The pan features Kaiser Bakeware's magnum coating which allows for cutting in the pan without damaging the surface. The magnum coating is not affected by acidic or citrus foods, and it allows for easy release when lightly coated with butter or oil. The superior springform buckle provides the perfect release of baked goods and is guaranteed for life. Made in Germany.

The La Forme 13"x9" Rectangular Springform pan has received the Cooking Club of America Kitchen Tested Seal of Approval.

Use and Care

• All Kaiser Bakeware pans are safe up to 450 degrees F in the oven.
• Brush thin layer of butter or oil on interior of pan prior to each use. The butter guarantees perfect release and promotes a smooth, tightly sealed crust, even browning and good flavor. No need to line the pan with parchment paper or dust the pan with flour, which can produce an unattractive white crust.
• Designed to provide perfect release when removing baked goods from pan. Magnum coating designed to withstand cutting. Any utensils, including sharp knives, can be used in the pan without damaging the surface.
• Clean with hot water, soap and a soft sponge/dishcloth. Avoid using abrasive cleansers. Dishwasher not recommended.

Traditionally, a springform pan has been defined as a round pan, that with the aid of a clamp, has removable sides and bottom. Generally used for cheesecakes, these pans allow cakes or tortes to be easily extricated from the pan. What makes Kaiser Bakeware springform pans special?

For one thing, Kaiser invented the springform pan, the "intelligent round cake pan", and is the world's largest springform pan manufacturer. Keeping ahead of the market, Kaiser then revolutionized the springform concept by recreating the pan in a variety of shapes, sizes, and mold textures. Kaiser Bakeware's pans, designed with the home baker in mind, are manufactured from steel base metal, which provides even and gentle heat distribution for the even browning and baking generally found in professional kitchens. Ranging from the high end steel-gauge, two-layer non-stick, leak-proof La Forme pans to the traditional tinned steel Tinplate pans, Kaiser designs its springform pans with a high degree of quality so you can produce a perfectly moist, tender cake.

In 1919, Wilhelm Ferdinand Kaiser began production of a small line of traditional European bakeware items bearing the family name. Situated in a picturesque German village, the Kaiser Backform (Bakeware) factory has continued to produce its ever-expanding line of bakeware for three enerations and has come to be respected as Europe's largest manufacturer of quality bakeware for the home baker.

In 1984 Kaiser developed and introduced the revolutionary La Forme line of bakeware and accessories. Initially received with skepticism by the competition as being too high-end for the home baker, the La Forme line soon won consumer appreciation and is now considered "state-of-the-art" bakeware.

Today, well into our eighth decade of producing quality bakeware, Kaiser boasts two production facilities in Germany, from which we supply bakeware for over thirty countries worldwide.
