Warping

Pros:

  • "Pan did not warp. Clean up was easy."
  • "They're sturdy and through a dozen heat cycle hangers shown zero warping."
  • "Never had a problem with warping."
  • "No warping at all, a little discoloration but I'm a messy baker, so that's just because I don't use enough parchment lol."
  • "It is solid and not warped at all."
  • "These pans are great, they do not warp at all and are pretty sturdy."
  • "This one remained perfectly flat and showed no signs of warping."

Cons:

  • "They pop and bend in the oven because they are thin enough to warp when they get hot."
  • "This does warp/twist at higher temps ( +350 ) however, I've yet to find a sheet tray that won't warp at higher temps."
  • "The half sheet pan I received is slightly warped and not flat on the bottom... bowed out."
  • "Wish they were dishwasher safe, but hand wash relatively easy. Warps at 400+ degrees if not a lot of food weight."
  • "The pan does indeed warp like other comments state and will even out when baking/make noises."
  • "After semi-regular use (about once every 2 weeks) over 28 months, the pan is now warped."
  • "Product warped at 450 degrees."

Cleaning

Pros:

  • "They are easy to clean with a good steel wool and also don't suffer in the dishwasher."
  • "But lo and behold, I soaked it overnight in water and the black gunk rinsed right off!"
  • "A soak in hot water and a swipe with detergent and a plastic scrubber is enough."
  • "No twisting of the pan! The vegetables were nicely roasted and the pan cleaned easily."
  • "Love the sturdiness of it and that I only have to rinse with a soft sponge."
  • "Cleans very, very easily."
  • "Cleanup is a breeze with hot water and a soft sponge."

Cons:

  • "The only thing I find odd is the discoloration after washing."
  • "after washing and drying it became clouded... looks like a brain."
  • "For some reason, they are very discolored, but that HAS NOT affected the cooking quality or the sturdiness."
  • "Received the pan yesterday (6/24/20). Hand washed as directed...BUT there was discoloration of parts of the pan that showed up after washing and drying."
  • "Really never got it clean again after the first time, impossible for me to clean, frustrating."
  • "Clean up took some elbow grease to get the pans clean."
  • "I didn't even get to use it. I put it in the dishwasher as soon as it came in the mail and the whole thing discolored and looks horrible."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

  • "Using this for heating/re-heating small portions of food in a Cuisinart toaster oven. Pan is very well manufactured, distributes and holds heat extremely well."
  • "Nice and heavy so they won't warp."
  • "Pan arrived in perfect condition. Mirror shine and heavy gauge aluminum quality at a low price."
  • "I like how sturdy this pan is and the size."
  • "It's thick and well-manufactured. In an effort to keep it from warping, I always let it cool before putting into dish water."
  • "This is a very sturdy product that is so easy to clean."
  • "Very sturdy high quality product."

Cons:

  • "After just one baking, multiple bubbles appeared all over the tray."
  • "The only way to get this to warp would be to throw it into a volcano, which I don't recommend for several reasons."
  • "The item was delivered with no outward damage to the packaging but the item itself had some damage."
  • "This is not a heavy duty product. The one that was sent to me is composed of two layers of thin metal."
  • "The pan’s coating came off after the first wash in one spot."
  • "The pan I received has a slight bend to it."
  • "The sheet pans are amazingly great quality, but arrived dinted."

Size and Fit

Pros:

  • "This fits my oven perfectly, leaving an inch or two on all sides for circulation."
  • "This is a very conveniently size tray for heating, baking and roasting small items, or for use in a toaster oven."
  • "Love these pans, measurements are at the bottom of the pan, lip has a slight flair (important if you have a tight fit)."
  • "This is the largest size to fit normal home ovens."
  • "So much roomier than a half pan yet still fits in my home oven."
  • "It is perfect to fit in my countertop oven."
  • "This size is just what I want!! Fit my oven really well and now I can load more without wasting the oven space."

Cons:

  • "However, unfortunately I wasn't able to use it and had to return it because it was too wide for my home oven."
  • "The pans were great they were the wrong size they were a little bit too big so I sent them back."
  • "Also, be careful choosing the size. This is slightly larger - wider than my NORMAL LARGE Cookie sheet that moms are used to."
  • "I'm sure this is a great pan, but the fact it is off by about half an inch when fitting into an oven is the most frustrating experience of purchasing something online, ever."
  • "This item doesn't fit into a regular oven. If you have a large oven, it will fit."
  • "Unfortunately, it doesn't fit my oven. Yes I measured but the height of the rim was JUST a tad to high."
  • "Will not fit in our oven like most others have stated, which is OK since that isn't what we purchased it for."
