Nordic Ware Naturals Eighth Sheet - USA Made Uncoated Natural Aluminum Commercial Quality Sheet Pan, 1-Pack

I have time in my mornings, but never have much time for dinner prep by the end of the day so after I make our breakfasts in the morning, I get a head start and prep as much as I can for dinner. I bought 3 of these to use as prep trays and they are just great for that. There are 2 (sometimes 3) in our household and these trays are a great size. Most of the time, I use these for vegetable prep, but I also use them for my proteins. Proteins can sit in seasonings or marinades, or just rest after being cleaned or cut. What's nice about using it for proteins, is that if roasting or baking, I don't even have to transfer to (and dirty) another pan. The pan can go straight from the refrigerator right into the oven. These are thick enough that they conduct and retain heat and do not warp at all. * * I know all toaster ovens are different, but we have the Breville convection oven and 2 of these trays fit perfectly side-by-side. I also like that the edges of these are rolled and don't flare out. What this means is that they stack very well and are also very space efficient. I looked at several other pans of the same size that have flared handholds on the sides. Though convenient, these flared handles take up space in the refrigerator and make them a little more cumbersome to store. I definitely couldn't get 2 into our Breville if the sides flared out even a little. I've thrown these into the dishwasher, as well as scrubbed them by hand. Slight scratches have appeared, but nothing that's more than aesthetic.

THIS IS NOT DISHWASHER SAFE! I am surprised to see so many bad reviews about this because they didn't know it's not for dish washer... just like any raw stainless steel pans are, it will be damaged if you do. Please be sure it's something you want and don't blame the product cause...it's perfect small tray for baking, cooking, BBQ, food plating and more! We bought 4 of these years back and had to get more for the conveniency over using plates - Especially for hosting a BBQ and baking multiple side dishes! Size is compact and very small, like a one person portion plate, but that means it's even more multi-purposes! We even use it for making focaccia bread since this size is perfect for making focaccia without too much leftover. We tend to hand wash all stainless steel trays we have, and these little trays are light and easy to hand wash, even if you have sticky stuff it's easy to clean after soaking it. We love it that we ordered 5 more and gave some to family members. I recommend these trays!

These are great for single serve finger food. Burgers, Fries, Sandwiches and even breakfast. Made of aluminum and very durable.

These pans are great for baking cookies! I make several small batches and they are the right size. They heat evenly, wash easily and the cookies come out perfect!

I needed a couple small sheet pans for use in my GE Profile indoor smoker. These are good quality pans, but I was concerned about them being made of aluminum. Generally, I line pans with aluminum foil with the dull side up since this prevents aluminum poisoning. These are smaller than I wanted and I found a couple made of stainless steel that were a bit larger and I feel are safer to use. Most often aluminum is not nonstick, and stainless steel is easier to clean. I believe these pans are a good value for the money, but decided to keep the stainless pans since I found racks that fit them perfectly. Since I didn't need more pans to store, I decided to return these sheet pans.

I am a big fan of Nordic Ware naturals. They are sturdy and made in the USA. And these two pans are a great size for my toaster oven.

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.

These are the perfect size for cooking 1 or 2 servings in the toaster oven, and if you are flouring fish or meat they also work great for that. I like to line them with a piece of aluminum foil before using in the oven because then cleanup is as easy as recycling the foil sheet.

I never thought I would reach out for this tray everyday. It's become essential for me. This tray is just the right size, easy to grab, light and sturdy. I don't only use it for baking small batches but to hold ingredients while weighing. It does everything that a plate could and I can drop it without fearing breakage. I never knew how I survived without this tray!

Muy bonitas pero se me hicieron muy pequeñas para el precio. Aun así me sirvieron pero sí le erré en el tamaño, pensé que por el precio iban a ser un poco más grandes.

Good for smaller bakes, usual Nordic Ware great quality.

These are smaller than what I was expected but the material is great, easy to clean and good for baking a smaller batch of vegetables and protein.
