The Maestro MR-1104 rectangular baking pan is a 22.5 cm non-stick oven bakeware designed for home kitchens and small-batch baking. This rectangular pan is intended for baking a variety of items such as sponge cakes, pound cakes, loaves and savory bakes. It features a non-stick surface that facilitates releasing baked goods and simplifies cleaning, and its compact size fits most conventional ovens and countertop preparation areas.
Advantages
The non-stick coating reduces the need for excessive greasing and helps baked items release cleanly, preserving shape and texture. The rectangular shape provides even heat distribution across the baking surface, supporting uniform browning and consistent results. Its 22.5 cm size is convenient for smaller recipes and for households that prefer moderate portion sizes. The pan’s construction is suitable for routine oven use and easy maintenance after baking.
Suitable for
- Baking sponge and butter cakes
- Making loaf cakes, banana bread and pound cakes
- Preparing meatloaf and savory bakes
- Small-batch home baking and test recipes
When it may not be suitable
This pan may not be the best choice for very large recipes or commercial baking where larger capacities and heavier-duty construction are required. It may also be less suitable for cooking methods that require high-temperature searing directly on the pan surface, as non-stick coatings have maximum safe temperature limits.
Key specifications

How to use
Before first use, wash the pan in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Lightly grease or use a thin coating of butter or oil if a recipe recommends it, even with non-stick surfaces, to ensure optimal browning. Place batter or prepared food evenly in the pan and set in a preheated oven according to the recipe’s temperature and time. Allow the baked item to cool briefly before turning out to preserve shape. Clean after use with a soft sponge and mild detergent; avoid abrasive pads and metal utensils that can damage the non-stick coating.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure 22.5 cm dimensions suit your recipe and oven space
- Check compatibility of non-stick coating with your preferred cleaning and utensil practices
- Consider whether you need larger capacity or commercial-grade bakeware for frequent heavy use
Usage recommendations
To prolong the non-stick surface life, use silicone, wooden or plastic utensils, avoid sudden temperature shocks, and follow manufacturer care instructions. For best results with cakes and loaves, preheat the oven fully and allow baked goods to cool slightly before removing from the pan.
