Tiawudi Cake Pan, Nonstick Baking Pan for Cake, Bread, Brownie or Lasagna, Heavy Duty Baking Dish with Diamond Texture Pattern and Wide Grips
Is the Tiawudi nonstick pan a good replacement for a scratched-up brownie and casserole pan?
Yes, if you want an easy-release pan for brownies, cakes and weeknight bakes, and appreciate broad grips when lifting a hot dish. Its diamond-textured base, nonstick coating and heavy-weight carbon-steel construction are aimed at even browning and easier cleanup; the pan is oven-safe to 450°F. Check the cooking area before buying: the interior is 12.5 by 8.5 inches, smaller than a standard 9-by-13-inch baking surface. I’d choose it for coating convenience and handling, but go with one of the alternatives below if you need a full 9-by-13 pan or a lid.
From the Amazon listing
- ✓FOOD SAFE MATERIAL - Heavy-weight carbon-steel construction provides durability and fast, even heating for uniform browning. Food safe nonstick coating ensures effortless food release; oven-safe to 450 degrees F. PTFE & PFOA Free.
- ✓DIAMOND TEXTURE - The cake pan has a diamond texture on the base increases its non-stick properties and ensures even and quick heat airflow to the cake, which makes the cake consistently baked without any over or undercooked parts.
- ✓PAN DIMENSIONS - Interior measuring 12.5 x 8.5 inch. Overall measures 14.4 x 9.8 x 2.3 inch (including handles). Designed with ample space for better grip and easy handling in and out of the oven. Hand wash recommended. For best results, wash in warm, soapy water before first and after each use.
Will the diamond texture make food release better?
The textured base is intended to improve airflow and release, but it is still a nonstick-coated pan—not a guarantee that brownies will never stick. Let baked goods cool enough to set, then loosen the edges with a silicone or other nonmetal utensil. For longer coating life, skip metal tools, abrasive scrubbers and stacking it against unprotected metal bakeware.
Is it a good brownie and casserole pan?
Yes, for modest batches of brownies, cake, bread or a smaller casserole. The interior dimensions matter more than the wide outside grips when checking a recipe: a recipe written for a full 9-by-13 pan may not fit or bake as intended here. I’d use the Farberware if you routinely make standard 9-by-13 recipes and want a lid for carrying.
Are the wide grips useful with oven mitts?
They give you more pan to hold than a narrow rolled edge, which is handy when you’re lifting a loaded dish. Use dry, well-fitting oven mitts and grip both sides securely; handles do not make a hot pan light, and bulky mitts can still reduce your feel. I’d keep the counter or trivet clear before taking a casserole out.
How should you clean it, and will the coating last?
Hand-wash it in warm, soapy water, as recommended, and avoid long soaking or harsh scrubbing. Texturing does not stop a nonstick coating from wearing or peeling if it is scratched or treated roughly, so use nonmetal utensils and replace the pan if the coating is visibly coming away. For tomato-based bakes, avoid cutting or scraping in the pan and wash it after serving rather than storing leftovers in it.
Will it warp at 400°F, or can it go in the dishwasher?
It is rated for oven use up to 450°F, so 400°F is within that stated limit, but no pan is immune to damage from rough handling or sudden temperature changes. Avoid putting a hot pan under cold water, and set it on a level oven rack. Hand-wash rather than using the dishwasher; detergent and repeated high-heat cycles are hard on nonstick finishes.
How they compare
A textured nonstick pan with wide grips for smaller brownies, cakes and casseroles.
A 9-by-13 nonstick pan with a carry lid for potlucks and full-size recipes.
A natural-aluminum 9-by-13 pan for bakers who prefer to skip nonstick coating.
Who it suits
This pan is for a casual baker or family cook replacing a sticky old pan who wants nonstick release, broad grips and one pan for brownies, cakes and smaller savory bakes. I’d pick it when easy cleanup matters more than having a full 9-by-13 cooking area.
What you give up
- The 12.5-by-8.5-inch interior is smaller than a typical 9-by-13 cooking surface, so check your recipe before committing.
- The coating needs gentle utensils and hand-washing; the diamond texture does not make it scratch-proof or maintenance-free.
- There is no carrying lid included, and the wide grips still require a secure two-handed hold with oven mitts.
When another one is the better buy
Farberware Nonstick Bakeware Baking Pan With Lid / Nonstick Cake Pan With Lid, Rectangle - 9 Inch x 13 Inch, Gray: Choose the Farberware if you want a 9-by-13 pan for standard-size recipes and a lid for taking bakes to a potluck. The lid is for carrying, not oven use.
Nordic Ware Prism Baking 9 x 13 Pan, Natural: Choose the Nordic Ware if you would rather bake in natural aluminum than rely on a nonstick coating, and want a 9-by-13 pan with a lifetime warranty. It is hand-wash only, so it is not the pick for someone prioritizing nonstick-style cleanup.

Questions buyers ask
Do textured nonstick pans peel?
Yes. Texture does not prevent coating wear; stop using the pan if the coating is visibly flaking.
Is a diamond-textured pan better than a smooth nonstick pan?
The texture is a design difference, not a guarantee of better release in every bake or a longer-lasting finish. Choose it for its wide grips if easier handling matters.
Is this a good nonstick brownie pan?
Yes, for smaller batches. Compare your recipe’s stated pan size with the 12.5-by-8.5-inch interior before baking.
Will it warp at 400°F?
400°F is within its 450°F oven limit. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as rinsing it with cold water while hot, and place it on a level rack.
Is the Tiawudi pan dishwasher safe?
Hand-washing is recommended; choose another pan if dishwasher cleanup is a must.
What causes a white, chalky film on a baking pan?
Mineral deposits from hard water or residue from detergent can leave a pale film; that appearance alone does not prove the coating is peeling. Hand-wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge, and avoid abrasive scouring.
Can I bake tomato sauce or other acidic foods in a nonstick pan?
A tomato-based casserole is a normal use for a baking pan, but avoid cutting or scraping food against the coating. Wash the pan after serving and store leftovers separately rather than leaving them in the pan.
