Nordic Ware Natural Aluminum Commercial Rectangular Cake Pan

We had high hopes for this one. It's the first time I've used it in a baking recipe. Due to a broken plastic lid (as seen in the photo), I had to initiate an RMA for the first one. Something had obviously messed up the box in which Amazon had shipped it. Because there were other items in the box, I assumed the plastic lid that came with the pan had been smashed. "It's Amazon's fault," I thought to myself. That's all right. The replacement pan/lid, on the other hand, was sent in a specially designed and well-organized package. box with a lock We discovered that the flimsy plastic lid was cracked once more, and that it would most likely break with only a few uses. It's merely a case of extremely low-cost manufacturing. a low price / For molded plastic, high-quality manufacturing is essential. It is most likely safe to use the pan. br>br>I'm not a plastics engineer, but I used to work in IT for a local plastics manufacturer. I can confidently state that the issue with Nordic Ware is the plastics engineering and manufacturing. "We need to cut costs," Nordic Ware management clearly stated. It's a shame that Made in USA isn't anything special (though it's worth writing a review if you're disappointed). Their cookie sheets are one of my favorites. The aluminum cake pan is likely to last a long time, but the lid is completely useless. I was almost going to RMA the replacement Amazon sent me, but I'm going to keep the pan and throw the lid away.

I'm incredibly let down. The pan became matte after being hand washed. Following baking, colored and dark rusty areas began to appear. I'm not even capable of taking a silver-plated dish. Because of the scratches that appear, apply a sponge to it. I now have to line all of my pans before using them. I have a cookie sheet pan, and when I take it out of the oven when it's hot, it comes out semi-cooked. When it cools, it becomes concave and then POPs back into place. It is not at all secure. They're going to be replaced.

They'll be returning. They claimed it was rustproof, but it isn't true. They pit easily and scratch even when using a plastic spatula! Is this some sort of rip-off? I demand a refund of my funds! If you're looking for a unique way to.

I bought two of these pans, as well as the smaller size, specifically for baking goodies that require a deep dish, and these pans are fantastic! My review applies to both of these items. It is made of pure aluminum, which has excellent heat conductivity and allows baked goods such as cakes and brownies to rise and bake evenly. br>br>These pans are great for everyday use, and the lids make transporting items like brownies to bake sales or sporting events a breeze. My lids are still in good condition, but I mostly use them at home to store leftover brownies on the counter. It's also simple to clean up. Hand-washing with hot soapy water is all I do. br>br>My favorite feature of these pans is how deep they are (approximately 2. 5 inches), allowing you to prepare large quantities of food, particularly casseroles (potatoes gratin, macaroni and cheese), when you don't feel like using your fancy breakable ceramic dish! I've even used it to cook whole chickens and ribs! br>br>Overall, these pans are highly recommended. They're made in the United States and are ideal for everyday use. Grade A+.

This is an excellent example of a well-written essay. pan that is well-made and durable The tight fit of the plastic lid is a plus. However, I needed a 9 x 13 pan, and this falls just short of that. The outside of the sturdy rolled rim comes close to 13, but the top interior measurement, let alone the interior measurement of the bottom of the pan, is far short of 9 x 13. I'm not going to give it back to you. It'll probably work for my 9 x 13 recipes, but it's inconvenient, especially from a reputable manufacturer like Nordic Ware.

I've tried baking cakes in glass pans, dark pans, and foil pans, and none of them came out evenly baked. The edges were often dry or overly brown, and the center was frequently too moist; however, my cakes come out evenly cooked throughout and with a nice light brown top when I use this pan! br>br>When baking, an aluminum pan like this is ideal because it evenly distributes heat throughout the cake. Because of the light color, the edges do not brown as quickly. br>br>This is not a flimsy, light-weight pan. With a little soaking, it is simple to clean. However, I must avoid using hard utensils because they tend to leave marks on the pan's bottom.

Despite the fact that the item is labeled as a "cake pan," I purchased it to bake enchiladas rather than cakes. That seemed reasonable to me, but I was mistaken. After the first time I used it, the pan became mottled (discolored), and cleaning it was a chore. Even after soaking it for several hours, I had to scrub it to remove all of the food. Not good! As a result, I went out and purchased a nonstick skillet. br>br>Aside from that, this pan appears to be fine — sturdy, lid fits well, etc. — but I find that nonstick pans are so much easier to use that I doubt I'll ever buy "regular" pans again.

It's perfect! A little Crisco on the bottom of the pan, as directed by the cake mix, and there's no'stick' when it comes to removing the baked product! The only reason I didn't give this pan a 5 rating was because the outer edge of the lid came with a slight crack in it, possibly due to shipping? However, it has no effect on the cake pan's top sealing. I'm not sure how I'm going to let the seller know. But, in any case, good old aluminum is always a good idea (-).
