Nordic Ware Naturals Huge Baking Sheet, 2 Pack, Silver

Great size.
Nordic Ware makes solid, well-made baking sheets. These sheets are great, they fill up the baking rack. It has cut down our baking time, by reducing the number of batches we have to put in the oven.

I love this brand. These are high quality
I decided it was time to get better quality cookware. I love the color of the raw aluminum and it helps me keep track of how clean the pans are. Having a uniform and clean surface is important for consistency in the finished cook. The aluminum is very sturdy and works extremely well. The aluminum is perfect for my cooking style which allows for a little longer cook time at a lower, consistent heat. The only thing to be aware and cautious of is how easy they can scratch each other if slid into a stack. I just gently stack them rather than forcing metal to slide on metal. I find that the aluminum does an excellent job to create an easy surface to remove food from. The pans are thick enough to hold a consistent heat, which is extremely high quality for the money. Because it’s aluminum, you don’t have to worry about rust.

Very heavy. Sturdy.
I bought both the small and the large. Will definitely not warp. (will update later if it happens) I knocked a star off for a few imperfections in the corners of the pans but it won’t affect anything. These are great, cost to quality wise though! You can’t really get a better deal than this!

Won’t Do the Twist
Beautiful large sheets hold lots of cookies and sheet pan dinners. AND THEY DON’T TWIST! They heat evenly so everything I make in them comes out evenly browned and baked. Nice and heavy, also. Have been using them for two years now and they wear extremely well. I recommend them and to use the Dawn spray to get off any gooey, greasy spots and spills.

These are perfect – I no longer need to juggle two pans on separate racks to fit my cooking – these are large enough and fit perfect in my oven and so easy to clean

As a private chef, I’ve gone through a lot of Baking trays over the years. I have to say, this Nordic Ware tray is by far the best I’ve used. After a a year of daily use, these are my thoughts/observations:
– Build Quality
This sheet pan feels like what a quality pan should. It’s made from pure aluminium, which I’ve learned is really good at conducting heat evenly. Some of the cheaper pans I’ve used in the past tend to warp or bend, especially when roasting things at higher temperatures, but this one NEVER warps!!
It’s thick without being too heavy, so it feels sturdy when you’re handling it but not like you’re wrestling with a super heavy piece of metal. I can carry it with one hand out of the oven, freeing up the other for shutting the oven door/making space to put the hot tray down.
– Cooking Performance
One of the things I’ve noticed with this pan is how evenly it cooks things. Whether I’m making cookies, roasting veggies, or baking chicken thighs, everything comes out perfectly browned. With other pans, I used to end up with cookies that were over-baked on one side or roasted vegetables that would burn in some areas but stay soggy in others. That hasn’t been a problem with this pan – everything comes out evenly cooked every time, and I don’t feel like I need to constantly turn the pan or rotate it in the oven.
– Versatility
This pan is great for everything. It’s the perfect size for my commercial oven (WARNING; will not fit in a standard UK Oven! If you have a domestic oven, go for a 1/2 sheet size!!)
I use it for everything from baking cookies, making sheet cakes, to roasting veggies. It’s deep enough that liquids don’t spill over, but it’s still low enough on the sides that you get that nice airflow when roasting/baking for even browning.
– Cleaning and Maintenance
Speaking of cleanup, I’ve found that it cleans up really well as long as I don’t let things sit too long. If you do leave it a bit too long, I find a good soak with hot soapy water does it – it just takes a bit more elbow grease to scrub it clean. To be fair, it’s held up extremely well to scrubbing and hasn’t got any signs or ware and tear yet!
I usually use parchment paper for baking cookies, but when roasting veggies directly on the pan, I haven’t had any major issues with sticking. I will say, though, that because it’s aluminium, it can react to acidic foods like tomatoes. I roasted some tomatoes once, and it left a bit of discolouration for a month or so, but it didn’t affect how the pan works at all. Just something to be aware of.
I also always hand wash it, which I’d recommend to anyone using it. I’ve put an Aluminium pan in the dishwasher previously which wrecked the coating so probably not worth the risk. Since it’s so easy to clean, I don’t mind hand washing it at all.
– Durability
After months of daily use, it still looks great. For the price, I was honestly expecting it to show more wear by now, but it’s held up really well.
### Price and Value
Considering the quality and durability of this pan, I think it’s a great value. I’ve spent money on cheaper pans in the past that ended up warping or just not cooking things evenly. I’ve also purchased pans twice the price that need replacing after a year or so because the coating didn’t last longer than 6 months. This Nordic Ware pan is totally worth it. It won’t need replacing anytime soon, and it’s become one of my go-to kitchen tools. In fact I’ve just purchased a second one and am seriously thinking about replacing all my old pans with these!
Final Thoughts
Overall, I can’t recommend this sheet pan enough. It’s a simple, reliable piece of kitchen equipment that does exactly what you need it to do. This pan will serve you well whether you’re an occasional baker or a full time chef. It’s durable, cooks evenly, and is easy to clean which makes it a real winner in my book. If you’re looking to upgrade your sheet pan, you won’t regret choosing this one!
