5.0 out of 5 starsI finally figured out how to open these pans!

I love these pans! I bought two to replace some Wilton pans that also had covers. I loved the Wilton pans because of their covers but the nonstick material came off on all three of my pans after owning them for just a few months. It was a cheap pan made of cheap materials. This pan, however, is the complete opposite. It's made of quality materials, is extremely sturdy, is easy to wash (I wash by hand only), and is great for storing leftovers. The raised lid allows you to store foods that are taller than the height of the pan. When I read reviews prior to ordering this pan, I saw that several people had commented that these pans are hard to open. I thought the same thing too but I'm so glad I didn't return these. It turns out that I've been opening them incorrectly for a few months now. I feel like an idiot. So if you look at the sides of the pan, you'll see what appears to be four small notches. I've been trying to open the pan using these four notches and it was frustrating at times. Anyway, I came here to write this review because other people are probably doing the same thing. The way to correctly open these pans is to use the long notch that's between the two smaller notches. So there are two long notches, one on each of the longer sides of the pan. Duh!!! Easy peasy! No problems opening the pans now. I purchased two of these pans and absolutely love them now that I know how to open them. I hope that some of you find this review helpful.
