This is the Nordic Ware Brilliant 9×13 rectangular pan — a heavy aluminum bakeware pan with a bright colored exterior and a PFAS-free nonstick interior. The 9×13 size is the workhorse of American baking: sheet cakes, brownies, bar cookies, enchiladas, lasagna, peach cobbler. This is the pan those recipes are written for, in a finish that looks good enough to set directly on a table.
The PFAS-free nonstick interior is Nordic Ware’s cleaner coating technology — no PFOA, no PTFE — with enough release for cakes and baked pasta to come out without sticking. The heavy aluminum body heats evenly for uniform baking, and the reinforced rim keeps the pan flat through years of use. The colorful exterior is powder-coated so it holds up to dishwasher cycles and oven heat without chipping.
Nordic Ware has been manufacturing bakeware in Minneapolis, Minnesota since 1946. The company invented the Bundt pan in 1950 and still casts, spins, and coats every piece in its Naturals, Bundt, and cast aluminum lines at that same Minnesota factory — one of the last family-owned American bakeware makers still building its core products at home.
