Cornbread pan

[Mustang Jon]

Has anyone ever seen these cornbread pans not made out of cast iron? Got this one at the Goodwill and I’m not sure if it’s aluminum or pewter. Any help would be appreciated.

I have one somewhere that I don't use. Feels like aluminum to me.

 

[LeeMajors]

I have one like that in aluminum and cast iron and silicone

Doesn’t pewter have a super low melting point? Around 400*?

Edit from the wiki:

Pewter has a low melting point, around 170–230 °C (338–446 °F), depending on the exact mixture of metals.

That looks like sand-cast aluminum to me. If it’s lighter than steel, then I’m sure that’s what it is
I just had a cornbread stick manufacturer from eastern NC contact me about casting some aluminum pans for them for their production line. Before that, I never thought about them being made of aluminum

338⁰ to 446⁰ and will leach lead in those temperatures

I have an old Griswold pan made of cast iron and another made of aluminum. Didn't know they made aluminum ones till I found this one.

Cornbread pans? Those look like corn roasting pans.

I need to stop reading this thread, now I really want buttered cornbread and coffee.

Cornbread pans? Those look like corn roasting pans.

Although Im sure it could be used for both, thats mom used ours for growing up. Oven roasting corn.
Cornbread went in a deep cast iron pan

Put a magnet on it. I won't stick to either pewter or aluminum.

Those are cute for corn bread but not so much for casting. Muffin pans are much better.
