1. There are seams in the corners which are VERY difficult to clean.
2. After using this pan only 5 times, it discolored.

I'm sorry I bought this particular brand/design in 3 sizes. :(

The corners have seams which trap food easily. It is VERY difficult to clean--I have to use toothpicks to get the corners clean. In addition the pan stains easily and no amount of scrubbing can eliminate the stains. Would NOT recommend. There are surely better pans out there. The only impressive thing about this pan is its hefty weight. Other than that, don't bother with it.

I bought this pan to replace one that I ruined which belonged to a friend. After giving t to him, a week later he asked if I wanted to ruin more of his cookware for him. He loves it.

Contrary to a few other reviews out there, I found this pan to be great for the 50th birthday cake that I baked for my husband. I had no problems with anything sticking to the sides of the pan - in fact the cake came out quite easily and cleaned up just fine.

When I purchased this item, I already owned a Calphalon 12x17 "Jelly Roll Pan" and a Silpat E04 11.5x16.5 mat. The Jelly Roll Pan is good quality and actually measures 11.5x16.5 internally at the bottom, and the Silpat fits perfectly. I have had the occasion to want a deep baking pan with the Silpat and was delighted to see that Calphalon makes a 12x17 deep baking pan. I presumed that the two 12x17 pans would be the same size. When I received it, I immediately found that the Silpat would not fit and that the inside bottom of this pan is closer to 11.25x16.75. I'm not sure if this is a standard baking nominal size, but I will be returning the baking pan.
