The first impression is durability. This is not flimsy grocery store nonstick cookware. The metal is a heavy gauge, and the nonstick coating is thick and should not rub off easily, as Ecko and even Wilton bakeware has in the past. Don't use the abrasive nylon pads (Scotchbrite, etc.). These nonstick pans clean so easily that even severely burned foods should soak off without a lot of scrubbing.

I found one odd design issue. The sides of the pans are rounded, almost as if the typically rectangular pans were partially oval. I think this was done for style and the sake of appearance, although there may be some practical justification. If you make brownies in the 9" X 13" pan, the pan is not rectangular, so the brownies will not be rectangular either. The outer brownies will have curved edges. If you're the Anally Retentive Chef, this may bother you. Similarly, the sides of the jelly roll pan have a noticeable curve. If you were rolling a jelly roll, you'd either trim off the curved portions to square up the sides, which seems like extra work and wasted cake, or you'd have a very sloppy looking jelly roll that was rolled from an irregular curved sided sheet. Fortunately, I don't make jelly rolls and will use this as a spare baking sheet.

But, again, this is durable and very nice nonstick bakeware that is a cut above the standard fare. However, I wish they'd gone more for practicality and "form follows function", rather than trying to make it look cool with curved sides. It seems the materials were dictated by function, and the shape was dictated by appearance. I wish all aspects of the design had been functional.

I have been impressed by the quality of this bakeware set, and particularly with how truly non-stick the non-stick is. You could pay this much for junky merchandise; this is the real deal. KitchenAid continues to make sure their brand stands for deluxe quality at acceptable prices. Nice item.

These pans are great- heavy duty, not flimsy like the ones in the grocery store that tend to warp. They are well worth the money! Don't hesitate to buy these!

I just received these pans yesterday and could not expect better pans. These pans are very heavy duty and truly nonstick. I have not tried any cookies yet, but I baked a lot of my Christmas casseroles in them, and they have never turned out better. I am definately going to get some more!

I bought the Kitchenaid bakeware set 1 1/2 years ago. It has been used hard and put away wet, yet after many uses, I am still very pleased. The pans are durable, hefty and breeze through the dishwasher. The round pans have a crisp edge and smooth finish making a cake that plates perfectly for frosting stacked layers. The oblong pan is at ease baking and roasting and the loaf pans are a extra sized which makes a whopping big loaf of bread without running over. The handles are a real advantage in grasping the pan for removal without getting your thumb or the potholder on the edge of the cake and squashing it!

The set is definitely nice, easy to clean and does a good job. Only complaint is the the cookie sheet and rectangle pan don't have straight sides; the curved sides make some jobs a little more difficult. Overall a good buy.

I ordered this set because of the brand name Kitchenaid I am very satisified with the cookware so I'm sure I'll be very happy with the bakeware. I like the style of the pans.

We ordered this set, but end up returned for replacement because of the 2 items were damaged. The new replacement set has few small dent on the items when arrive, but we are tire and didn't want to send them back again.

*** The KitchenAid set work very well so far after a month. It release the cake easy compare to the one we bought at Walmart. We gave it 4 stars.

Unfortunately, there are few defective items due to poor package. We gave it 1 star.

making cakes to cornbread - cookies. I find them very durable with any type of baking I need to do.

This Kitchenaid set arrived well-packed and tucked safely inside the box. However, when we unwrapped the individual pieces, there were several flaws that obviously (at least to us) were inflicted before they went into the box. The cookie sheet had dents in the bottom and a smaller impression alone one side, as did one of the cake pans. The second cake pan was scraped down through the coating on one lip - we were easily able to flake away a larger space around it. That one went immediately into the trash. We decided the hassle of return outweighed our considerations for buying this type of product from Kitchenaid again.
