The unique textured surface on all Doughmakers bakeware delivers many performance benefits and it won't scrape off, because it isn't a coating - It's embossed right in! First, it allows air to flow under baked goods for better, more even browning. Next, it gives Doughmakers bakeware non-stick characteristics without problematic coatings. Finally, it's great when you're flouring or greasing a cake pan, because it helps hold a bit of shortening that otherwise might be wiped off.
