Nice and strong These are a little lighter than the commercial pans I bought years ago, but they hold up well. I had been looking to replace a few pans that I had lent out, but hadn't found anything heavy enough for the amount of baking I do. These are great! Often, a poorly made pan will shift and "pop" in the oven - you can actually see one side lift up. That will cause your food to cook unevenly. Nordic Ware pans don't shift, and everything cooks evenly.
I often bake for parties for my friends and family. For rainbow cookies, I use 3 pans, and make about 250 cookies. I use these for baklave, spinach pie and hundreds, if not thousands, of cookies at a time. Because of the even browning achieved by these pans, everything looked perfect! I like a pan that makes me look good!
They wash up easily and I haven't seen any scratches yet, even though I cut my pastries right in the pan. I also use them under a roasting pan, both to support a foil pan and to catch any drippings.
At this price, I'll be buying more soon.

From the manufacturer
How It’s Made: Naturals Bakeware
Our Naturals bakeware starts out as a solid coil of aluminum, weighing several thousand pounds. The coil is fed into a press, which first performs a ‘blanking’ operation to cut out the rough shape of the pan. Next, it is roughly formed to resemble the shape of the finished pan. Finally, a galvanised steel rim, which gives rigidity to the pan, is added, and the edges of the pan are curled around the steel rim to encapsulate it fully. Our galvanized steel rims are formed on-site at Nordic Ware too; they begin as long metal rod and go through a series of bending manoeuvres to be properly sized for each pan. After all of the metalworking is complete, the pan is sent to be washed and packed. One of the great aspects of manufacturing with pure aluminum is that it is highly recyclable, so any scrap metal that is produced during our production process can be re-melted down and used again.

Our Story
Nordic Ware was founded in 1946 by a determined wife, Dotty, and her resourceful husband Dave, newly back from the second world war. With only 500 in their pockets, a few good ideas and a desire to create a business of their own, a humble kitchenware company was launched from the basement of their home in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the beginning, Nordic Ware’s product line was only a handful of items, all of which were specialty Scandinavian ethnic cookware products. But times have changed! 70 years later with a good measure of perseverance added, Nordic Ware is still proudly manufacturing the vast majority of its products in Minneapolis. We’re proud to say that we’re still family-owned and operated, with three generations involved in our business, and each year we add innovative items to our expansive kitchenware line.
70 Years of Innovation
With wife Dotty at his side, Dave Dalquist returned from WWII to start a business. From humble beginnings in a basement, Nordic Ware has become an internationally distributed kitchenware brand with a variety of product lines, hundreds of products and millions of fans!
Still a family owned and operated in the US, the company is honored to occupy a place in the new Food History exhibit at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Last fall, Nordic Ware was chosen for the prestigious 2015 Minnesota Manufacturing Award for Sustainability, which firms we work hard to minimise our environmental footprint. Our company moves into 2016 poised for the future, with last year setting an all-time record in sales volume and production efficiency.

Gas cooktop to induction conversion
I'm on a mission to stop killing woks. We tried them all. I figured out my gas stoves are partly to blame. I experimented with a portable induction cooker that we always have and an induction pot as a temporary substitute for a stainless steel wok. It sort of worked because of the fast response. It encourages me to change the power setting as I fry along. There is no heat attacking the side of the pot.But I'm not going to replace the whole gas range as I can instead get enough woks to last the next 20 years. I can't set aside an area of the countertop to replace it with a drop-in stove. Our countertop is still made of forever bathroom tiles. We ran out of countertop space anyway. More importantly, we desperately need the strong extract fan right above the gas range. Anywhere else won't do.But a 1800W portable induction stove is rather capable. I just need to cover half of the gas stove and put the induction cooker on it. I have thought of many things, a hardware metal sheet for example. But it just makes sense when I stumbled upon this tray. I am covering half the footprint of an oven. This is why I ended up in a baker's half sheet.I never 4 gas stove simultaneously. It was before I equipped the kitchen with two air fryers. Also, the induction cooker is as fast as the biggest gas ring in boiling water. One can use a small pan as long as it is bigger than the minimum size for the induction cooker. And it's precise and can be temperature controlled.I noticed that reviews mentioned the flatness and the rigidity of trays. This guy is absolutely flat and rigid. It is more rigid than a metal sheet of similar thickness without the sides. It feels more solid than the tiny stainless steel trays that I have. Of course I won't put the tray in the oven so it's not going to bend.

This is the tough viking shield of sheet pans, guess that's why the company is called "Nordic Ware".
