Is this muffin pan okay for ingots?

Need to pick up an extra pan or two to put my ingots in after smelting. Is this Wilton pan okay?

Steel
Nonstick surface
Large handles
Even heating

Burning off the non-stick coating is problematic. Some of them gas off dangerous gasses, i.e. don't breathe them!

The only other one I am finding locally that doesn't cost a fortune is the Lodge corn cob mold pan, and I would like the ingots to be somewhat stackable.

Be sure not to over fill it! If you get lead in that ring on the top you will have a bear of a time getting that ingot out. Ask how I know.

Just buff out the non stick coating with a wire brush and it should be good to go.

After you do that let it rust and the lead will drop out.

The corn wedge cast iron pans work excellent and the ingots fall right out. They stack well, (alternate the points out then in) fit in the casting pot, and only cost 9 bucks each at target.

Check goodwill & garage/yard sales for older heavy uncoated muffin tins. I never pay over $0.75 for them and have 20 plus for the days that I smelt 5 or 600 lbs.

I'm gonna try stopping by the local Goodwill to see what they have. The cheapest cast iron I seem to find is those corn shaped pans. Figured I am going to need a couple of pans, as the dutch oven I'm having delivered has a 6 quart capacity.
