Naturals® 8" Square Cake Pan

Some recipes are written for a 9" square pan, but bake them in an 8" instead and brownies come out noticeably taller, bars get a thicker layer of filling, and everything just looks more generous. This Nordic Ware pan is built for exactly that swap.

The details

Inside, it measures 8" x 8" x 2.2", made from natural, uncoated aluminum that browns food evenly from edge to edge — no scorched corners while the middle catches up. An encapsulated steel rim runs along the top edge to keep the pan from warping, the kind of detail that separates a pan that lasts decades from one that bows after a few years in the oven.

There's no coating to wear down here, just bare aluminum that releases cleanly with a little butter and flour or a sheet of parchment. It's made in America and comes with Nordic Ware's lifetime warranty, so it's built to be the one square pan in the cabinet you never have to replace.
