Naturals Baker's Quarter Sheet with Lid, Aluminium Baking Tray, Premium Bakeware To Bake and Reheat Small Meals, Made in the USA, Silver

As a private chef, I’ve gone through a lot of Baking trays over the years. I have to say, this Nordic Ware tray is by far the best I’ve used. After a a year of daily use, these are my thoughts/observations: - Build Quality This sheet pan feels like what a quality pan should. It's made from pure aluminium, which I’ve learned is really good at conducting heat evenly. Some of the cheaper pans I’ve used in the past tend to warp or bend, especially when roasting things at higher temperatures, but this one NEVER warps!! It’s thick without being too heavy, so it feels sturdy when you’re handling it but not like you’re wrestling with a super heavy piece of metal. I can carry it with one hand out of the oven, freeing up the other for shutting the oven door/making space to put the hot tray down. - Cooking Performance One of the things I’ve noticed with this pan is how evenly it cooks things. Whether I'm making cookies, roasting veggies, or baking chicken thighs, everything comes out perfectly browned. With other pans, I used to end up with cookies that were over-baked on one side or roasted vegetables that would burn in some areas but stay soggy in others. That hasn’t been a problem with this pan - everything comes out evenly cooked every time, and I don’t feel like I need to constantly turn the pan or rotate it in the oven. - Versatility This pan is great for everything. It’s the perfect size for my commercial oven (WARNING; will not fit in a standard UK Oven! If you have a domestic oven, go for a 1/2 sheet size!!) I use it for everything from baking cookies, making sheet cakes, to roasting veggies. It’s deep enough that liquids don’t spill over, but it’s still low enough on the sides that you get that nice airflow when roasting/baking for even browning. - Cleaning and Maintenance Speaking of cleanup, I’ve found that it cleans up really well as long as I don’t let things sit too long. If you do leave it a bit too long, I find a good soak with hot soapy water does it - it just takes a bit more elbow grease to scrub it clean. To be fair, it’s held up extremely well to scrubbing and hasn’t got any signs or ware and tear yet! I usually use parchment paper for baking cookies, but when roasting veggies directly on the pan, I haven’t had any major issues with sticking. I will say, though, that because it’s aluminium, it can react to acidic foods like tomatoes. I roasted some tomatoes once, and it left a bit of discolouration for a month or so, but it didn’t affect how the pan works at all. Just something to be aware of. I also always hand wash it, which I’d recommend to anyone using it. I’ve put an Aluminium pan in the dishwasher previously which wrecked the coating so probably not worth the risk. Since it’s so easy to clean, I don’t mind hand washing it at all. - Durability After months of daily use, it still looks great. For the price, I was honestly expecting it to show more wear by now, but it’s held up really well. ### Price and Value Considering the quality and durability of this pan, I think it’s a great value. I’ve spent money on cheaper pans in the past that ended up warping or just not cooking things evenly. I’ve also purchased pans twice the price that need replacing after a year or so because the coating didn’t last longer than 6 months. This Nordic Ware pan is totally worth it. It won’t need replacing anytime soon, and it’s become one of my go-to kitchen tools. In fact I’ve just purchased a second one and am seriously thinking about replacing all my old pans with these! Final Thoughts Overall, I can’t recommend this sheet pan enough. It’s a simple, reliable piece of kitchen equipment that does exactly what you need it to do. This pan will serve you well whether you’re an occasional baker or a full time chef. It’s durable, cooks evenly, and is easy to clean which makes it a real winner in my book. If you’re looking to upgrade your sheet pan, you won’t regret choosing this one!

Good sturdy pan, I bought it as recommended by Dominic Franks in his book ‘Upside Down cooking’; and it is easy to use and does not buckle.

Great pan, keeps it shape, and is easy to clean (soak and lightly scrub with a wire brush). I also put tin the dishwasher

Nordic ware bakers sheets are the best baking sheet i have come across. I was on YouTube when i saw a video America's test kitchen reviews on Nordic ware bakers half sheet. I to search for it on Google and found it on Amazon UK, initially the shipping put me off a bit. After watching the review again i decided not buy those cheap ones i've wasted my money on, case closed. I went ahead and ordered the Nordic ware bakers sheets and am very happy i did, quick delivery and very easy to clean, easy to store away, very robust trays. My baked products are beautifully baked through and very appetizing now. Try them, you won't regret investing in them.

The tray and lid look to be of high quality, but please check the size of your oven first as this tray was just to big for mine. My stupid fault.

Thick and sturdy. This pan doesn't warp when it's heated in the oven, and it washes easily. No signs of rust after 2 months of use. Good value!

I bought these after watching the America's Test Kitchen review and I'm very happy I did. They won't warp at all since they're made of decently thick aluminium and they seem to be really easy to clean because they're so smooth. I haven't got any patina built up yet so I can't comment on how easy they'll be to clean long term but I can't see any problems so far. They're very sturdy and they sides are just the right height to allow decent air flow around your food but also contain mess. I can genuinely say my roast potatos were crispier and easier to turn; aluminium is a better heat conducter than steel so that helps with even cooking and seems to mitigate some sticking.

Quality is great, very thick, exactly what I was looking for. Very pleased and would/will be purchasing more
