I bought a number of Food Network non-stick cookies sheets and bread pans at a local store. Twenty bucks each. Everything stuck to them and they easily stain.

I read the reviews here and bought two of these. Using the identical recipes, nothing sticks to the Anolon cookie sheets.

Contrary to what one reviewer wrote here, they don't warp under normal baking conditions. The metal is fairly thick and sturdy.

The silicon grips are cool enough to safely handle without gloves just a few minutes after coming out of the oven. The silicon grips also make it safer by providing friction -- the sheets won't easily slip out of your hands. This is a major plus.

After using these cookies sheets, I just bought two of the Anolon bread pans. The dough sticks to the new Food Network pans even when spraying with oil and dusting with flour. That's about thirty dollars thrown away.

Here's what is written on the back of the Anonlon cookie sheet label which you don't get to see until you pry it off.

"Keep small children away from the oven while you are baking. Some pets have extremely sensitive respiratory systems and should be kept away from the kitchen area."

Why keep small children away from the oven? Because children are a safety hazard under any baking situation or because the non-stick surfaces are emitting toxic fumes? Should I keep the doors/windows open when I use this product? If one is concerned about the safety of non-stick coatings, stick to parchment paper and use ordinary non-stick cookie sheets.

"Avoid soaking pans overnight. Dry promptly and thoroughly after washing."

I'd love to know why drying drying promptly and thoroughly is necessary. I've never seen this before. Will the non-stick material peel off or toxic materials leach out?

"Although this bakeware is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended."

Gee, the front of the label says "Dishwasher suitable and oven safe to 500 degrees F". I hate it when products boldly state that they're dishwasher safe on the outside and the hidden instructions say you should wash by hand. The Lifetime Limited Warranty doesn't cover damage caused by use of automatic dishwashers. While I never put non-stick cookware into a dishwasher anyway, this duplicity annoys me.

This is not a criticism, but a comment. I didn't realize that they made a 14x16 cookie sheet. The larger size would allow me to complete a batch without having to use an extra sheet. If your oven is large enough, you might want to buy the larger sheets.

[Edit Jun 15, 11. The usable area of the Anolon 14x16 cookie sheet is actually less than the Anolon 11x17 cookie sheet since the 14x16 refers to the outer dimensions. The 11x17 refers to the usable area. Go figure. Don't buy the 14x16. Also, the 14x16 only has one silicon grip which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I bought two 14x16 cookie sheets and I sent them back the next day.]

We bought this to replace some aging baking trays in our kitchen and having owned the Anolon professional range of pans for several years we hoped for a good quality product in the same ilk. So far we have been very impressed, the non-stick has performed fabulously and we've cooked everything from pastries to roasted vegetables directly on the tray with nothing sticking and they clean up like new. Have bought a second identical tray and use them for all our baking now

This is the best cookie sheet I've ever used. Everything slides off it but if you're not careful everthing slides together before placing the cookies in the oven if the pan is slightly warm. You don't need any cooking spray or anything. Great product.

This cookie sheet is absolutely wonderful! No more scouring or scrubbing because cookies don't stick.

I have used this product for about the past 3 months. I do not recommend this product. It warps every time it is heated. (obviously springs back when it cools) I have some old $5 pans that don't even do this. For the money I would expect a better product. Buyer beware!

These are the best sheets we have ever owned, hands down. This is a fantastic product that has performed beyond expectations.

Wonderful product. I've never spent this much on a cookie sheet, and had second thoughts about doing so. Believe me it is well worth the money. Best cookie sheet I've ever used!!

My wife is always baking and tends to go through a lot of bakeware. I bought her 2 of these cookie sheets for Christmas and she cannot stop raving about them! Cookies slide off the sheet - never burning. Well worth the investment. Get yours today!

Same problem as the other buyer. These pans warp every time we put them in the oven. This is really disappointing after reading other positive reviews.

What a great heavy duty pan. Wow. Ordering another for my daughter as I am thrilled with this. I've never seen it in the store, and I'm so glad I found it online.
