Seasoning also helps to prevent the formation of rust.


To season your aluminum pizza pan, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pan in the oven and let it bake for about 10 minutes. This will help to open up the pores in the aluminum so that the seasoning can better adhere to the surface.

Once the pan has heated, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes so that you can handle it without burning yourself. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil all over the surface of the pan, using a paper towel or pastry brush to spread it evenly. Be sure to get into all of the nooks and crannies so that there are no bare spots.

Once you have a nice even coat of oil, place the pan back in the oven and bake it for another 30 minutes. This will help the oil to penetrate into the pores of the aluminum and create a non-stick surface. After 30 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely before using.
