FAQs
What does 'Goldflon non-stick coating' mean?
Goldflon is a type of non-stick coating designed to provide a surface where food releases easily and is simple to clean. It helps prevent sticking and reduces the need for excessive oils or fats during cooking.
Can I use metal spatulas with this baking tray?
It is strongly recommended to avoid metal spatulas or sharp utensils, as they can scratch and damage the Goldflon non-stick coating, reducing its effectiveness and lifespan.
How should I clean the baking tray?
The tray should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads to protect the non-stick surface.
Is this baking tray dishwasher safe?

What are the exact dimensions of the tray?
The dimensions of this Chef Aid baking tray are 30cm by 25cm.
Can I use this tray for broiling?
While the tray is oven safe, it is not recommended for prolonged or high-heat broiling, as this can potentially damage the non-stick coating. Use with caution for short periods if necessary.
Will the non-stick coating wear off over time?
Like all non-stick coatings, the Goldflon coating can wear down over time with heavy use or improper care. Following the recommended care instructions will help extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the tray.
Ensure the non-stick coating is not scratched or damaged. Always allow baked goods to cool slightly before attempting removal. Verify that you are using appropriate utensils and have not used abrasive cleaning methods.
Tray discolored after use.
Discoloration, especially browning or slight darkening, can occur with high heat or certain foods. This is often superficial and does not affect performance. Try washing with a baking soda paste (baking soda and water) gently, but avoid harsh scrubbing.
Warping during baking.
Check that the tray is not being subjected to extreme temperature fluctuations (e.g., placing a hot tray in cold water). Ensure the tray is placed centrally in the oven for even heat exposure.
