First of all, I must say that I've never seen a jelly roll pan so sturdy. So much inexpensive bakeware tends to be rather flimsy that it soon warps. I don't anticipate any such problems with the Chicago Metallic pan. It's heavy, very durable-feeling and I can't see the possibility of wearing it out unless you're very, very hard on your bakeware. The lack of nonstick coating has not been a problem--just use shortening or a cooking spray instead, and you don't have to worry about metal utensils scratching up the surface, etc. That, and the regular jelly roll pan is cheaper than the jelly roll pan with nonstick coating.

So far, I've been very happy with mine and think it is a great bargain considering the low price. Based on this good experience, I wouldn't hesitate to buy more products from Chicago Metallic.

These jelly roll/sheet pans are extremely well built. They are very heavy and thick, do not warp, and should last a lifetime. They are the highest quality I have found, and I've owned many different brands.

Be aware though, that they are NOT in any way non-stick, and are hard to keep clean. If you don't mind breaking out the steel wool to keep these in shape, they are excellent - if you are looking for something that's easy maintenance, however, go with non-stick. Of course, none of the non-stick ones will last anywhere near as long, as the teflon finish wears off any cookware after a while.

These Chicago Metal pans were recommended to me by a baker who has worked in a bakery shop for years. They come in all sizes (I like the full sheet and 1/2 sheet pans),they don't warp, are heavy duty and not too costly. Great for cookies, roasting vegs, chicken and more! I brought these for my friend as a Thank You gift.

This is a top of the line jelly roll pan. I've used it for years and found that it's still very much like it was when I bought it. It is never going to warp, I'm convinced, and it withstands high temperatures. If I'm roasting something that is likely to stick badly, I cover it with foil to minimize cleanup. It's heavy duty... not like supermarket merchandise that's only a couple of dollars cheaper and is so flimsy that it warps the minute you turn up the heat.

You won't do better than Chicago Metallic but you may pay more for another similar product and not be as satisfied.

I just wanted a small pan for toasting bread. This pan is the right size, and it is substantially made, but it would not stop oxidizing. Every time we handled it, even after multiple uses and washings, it would leave a gray residue on your hand. After about 4 months, I threw it in the trash.

These smaller jelly roll pans are great.
Example: when I make the texas sheet cake recipe , I use both pans and divide the recipe into the two. After baking both pans and cooling. I will put one of the pans in the freezer for later use. It's already and all I have to do is pull it out from the freezer and thaw for just awhile.

I was trying to decide whether to get this size or the bigger pan. Since the oven we have is not very big I got this small jelly roll pan. With this I can freeze cookie dough and marinade meat in it without taking up too much space in the fridge.

I was disappointed that it arrived all scratched on the side (because the product was only loosely put in an open plastic bag). But I didn't bother to get an exchange since it wouldn't affect its performance.

It is very sturdy and conducts heat really well. The rack of my toaster oven fits perfectly into this pan and I've just tried roasting chicken in it. The next thing I'll try is to bake some cake in it to see how well it works.

For the price, I would say it is a definite good buy. Don't bother with the baking pan from the supermarket, they don't last! (And they are not that much cheaper either!!)

I have been impressed with the sturdiness of this pan, no warping! Handy size to use for a few cookies or under a casserole to keep drips controlled. The quality I've come to expect from Chicago Metallic.

I do a lot of baking, and I mean a lot of baking. My tools and my equipment must be of the highest quality. If not, then I don't bake! These little pans certainly meet that exacting standard. Not only do they meet it, considering their price, they exceed the expectation of a pan of that price. There is even heat distribution so no need to worry about some cookies browning faster than others. The sturdiness is greatly appreciated and the thickness. Some pans are too thin, resulting in quickly burnt bottoms with barely done tops. Not this pan! However, it should be noted that I always line my cookie sheets, so I am not sure how easily cookies will release from the pan itself. For now, these are my new favorite little cookie sheets.

This item has a perfect design. It has reinforced edges
which prevent bending after heating. Recomend hand washing
instead of Dishwasher. Dishwasher will leave stains that
are hard to remove.

Yours,
