kunafa aluminum baking and serving pan set — 5 size options
Kunafa — known as künefe in Turkish and knafeh in Arabic — is a dessert that demands the right pan. The shredded kataifi dough needs to crisp evenly across the full base, the cheese underneath needs to melt through completely, and the whole thing needs to be flipped or served directly from the pan with the golden crust intact. Aluminum conducts the heat that makes this possible: fast, even, and consistent from center to edge.
Five size options cover every serving need: individual portions (Small 5 in, 3 pcs), sharing sizes (Midi 6.2 in, 2 pcs), and full table presentations (Large and Jumbo in 1-2 pc formats). The same pan works as both baking vessel and serving plate — no transfer, no second dish.

Why We Selected This Piece
At Rootsware, we carry bakeware that fits the Turkish and Middle Eastern kitchen — the round tray for borek, the deep aluminum pan for baklava, the casserole that goes from oven to table. We selected these because they match the actual formats of diaspora home baking, not the formats of an American baking aisle.
