Page: Why Our Pans
AlumaSafe™ Alloy
Aluminum possesses the wonderful quality of being an excellent conductor of heat or cold as contrasted to stainless steel. Heat or cold will quickly disperse throughout the entirety of a cooking pan, thereby conducting outside temperatures efficiently to the contents of the pan. On the other hand, pure aluminum is comparatively soft and will degrade easily when placed in contact with something as common as butter. The food industry has opted to use stainless steel that will not contaminate food, but requires twice the energy to heat or cool food.
Recognizing faster cooking time and potential energy savings of aluminum, various coatings have been developed for non-stick frying pans designed for safe home use. Coatings, however, will scuff and wear out over a relatively short time, making coated aluminum undesirable for commercial use.
AlumaSafe™ offers the best of both worlds– an aluminum alloy pan that efficiently conducts heat and cold and a durable coating that allows it to hold up to the abuse of commercial kitchens. AlumaSafe is an aluminum alloy created through fifteen years of research and development focused on producing a pan that would be durable like stainless steel, yet twice as efficient in reducing costs of energy and reducing food spoilage in commercial settings.

AlumaSafe™ Silicone Gasket
Food in steam tables or cold food counters has to be kept at proper temperatures to prevent spoilage. Traditional stainless steel food pans over time develop bent or dented top edges that prevent a snug fit on the steam table allowing heat to escape around the edges, thus requiring more energy to maintain the proper temperature in the pan. The matter is further complicated by the stainless steel failing to disperse the heat evenly throughout the pan.
AlumaSafe™ pans will not warp or bend, thus remaining flush with the surface of the table. To insure a tight seal with the table, the silicone gasket fits around the entire circumference of the pan and seals any irregularities on the surface of the table. The heat is trapped within the steam table and is efficiently dispersed by the aluminum alloy to maintain the proper temperature throughout the pan.
The gaskets come in various colors, making the presentation exciting and appetizing. The rings can also be used to indicate various food types such as gluten free, sugar free, Kosher, etc. The gaskets also serve as protection for the hands of employees who handle hot pans. Easy clean up.
Gaskets fit stainless steel pans too.
