Clean up nicely!
May 31, 2017
Learned the hard way you can't put aluminum in the dishwasher. Bought these as a replacement and I will take care of them the right way! I have a 3/4 sheet from Nordicware as well - they feel pretty sturdy compared to other brands of aluminum pans I've purchased. I will say the 3/4 pan warped just a bit and started "bonging" after a few months, but it's really not a big deal. It's not at all to the point where it's making the pan too wavy. I highly recommend the Amazon silicone baking mats!!
FANTASTIC PANS!
December 29, 2016
Love these pans! I was so sick and tired of my cookie sheets, that sometimes tend to pop up on one corner. I have bought so many different kinds and still have never been happy with them, even with using parchment sheets. They never seems to heat evenly. So I saw these and took a chance and bought 2 of them. These pans are heavy. So far we have only used them to bake Christmas cookies. But what a difference. . .these pans distribute the heat evenly and round cookies came out perfectly. We were amazed that we no longer had guess at the length of bake time -- after the first couple of batches, we realized that we could then perfectly time the cooking to exactly 8 minutes per sheet for drop cookies, and 7 minutes for shapes. I will be going back to see if this company make other types of pans out of this same material. Hopefully I can then throw out every pie tin, cake pan, and sheet pan.
Best cookie sheet ever!
November 19, 2016
This is an update of my original review (if I left one). I have had these half sheet pans for about 10 months. I have bought so many high priced "commercial grade" cookie sheets in the past that I hesitated to buy these. HOWEVER... I am so happy with them that I don't think I will ever buy another brand - but also because I may never have to. The attached photo is what they look like today, after heavy use all summer (I sell baked goods every weekend from April through October.) I do always use a cookie sheet liner or a piece of parchment, but even so, I've never had pans look this good after this much use. They clean up like a dream and the NEVER do the "spring" thing in the oven. I can't give 10 stars, so I'll give 5.

The prefect pan to make Texas sheet cakes in!! So glad I finally found the right size I was looking for. I've made 3 different cakes in it and I just love it!!
Jelly roll is the size to buy!
December 14, 2015
I love the jelly roll size. Two of these fit perfectly in the oven on the rack. They are much easier to clean than one huge pan, plus easier to store inside cabinets. It is very well-made with measurements exactly as described. These are by far the most frequently used item in my kitchen.
Cooks evenly, wipes clean easily, nice weight to it, great pa!
November 4, 2015
I bought this pan for making pumpkin rolls. This pan cooks evenly distributes heat resulting in a perfectly cooked cake for my pumpkin rolls!! It's also very easily cleaned! It's a little lighter pan and its aluminum so it did scratch already, just a little scratch, but other than that I am super happy with it!! I might even buy another one because they're the perfect size for my pumpkin rolls and very reasonably priced! If I didn't notice a scratch the first time I used it, I would've given it a 5 star rating!Update: I just made my orange cookies and they cooked soo evenly!!! Every time I've ever made them on other cookie sheets, the bottom was always brown and cooked more! On this pan the bottoms were PERFECT!! They were the same color as the rest of the cookies!! So I am taking this from a 4 star rating to a 5 start!!! So what it had a stratch!!!

So far; so good.
August 19, 2017
This was a curiosity purchase. I have the pots and have been happy with them. They have been used for light weight baking and I have not seen them warp as others have mentioned.

These can be scratched. Just like their pots so do have the right utensils when working with them.

So far I am happy.
Great baking set
April 13, 2017
Great baking set! Bought for Christmas and have used the bread pan, brownie pan, muffin pan and cookie sheet almost weekly since. The cake pans are too small for my use, but would be nice for a petite little cake. Love the Calphalon quality. It really is good for the price and the pans tend to last for years.
Good set
March 19, 2017
So far so good, I'm starting to cook alot more. I needed someone I could use and not have to purchase again after a year. So far so good. I have used multiple times. Easy to clean, nothing sticks, works great in the dishwasher.

Pretty good pans
July 1, 2017
These pans are pretty good. I bake a LOT of cookies and use them often. I haven't found a use for the lids though. I thought I would use them for storing cookies before I decorate them, but I find it better to bag the cookies and store in Rubbermaid containers so they stay fresher. One strange thing I noticed is that they creak when I take them out of the oven and allow them to cool. I've never experienced that with other pans.

June 28, 2017
I actually bought this pan, because I bought the Vremi 3 Piece Silicone Baking Mat Set and wanted a new pan that the largest mat would perfectly fit into. I've used it several times already (with the mat) to make keto pizza (chicken crust, cauliflower crust, and fat head crust) and sausage & cheese stuffed jalapenos and sweet peppers. I have not had any problems with it. It's the perfect size for my oven and cooking needs and it cleans up easily and still looks brand new. I'm considering buying other sizes of this brand, if available.
unexpectedly disappointed...just fyi
December 16, 2016
sigh...not the dimensions listed in product description; can only conclude that these pans have been changed to improve profit margin (similat to canned goods that no longer are full size by ounzes, but priced the same or higher). These pans are nearly an inch less wide in width and length than described..they are 11.35 x 8 inches as described on attached label and 1 inch deep. Had hoped for the bit larger size, as I have a spacious counter oven, but won't quite fit a half sheet. Will make do. Of course they are lovely pans, they are NordicWare.

March 9, 2016
I really have no complaints for the jelly roll pan. It has never buckled. My only real complaint is the marks left behind by the sticky stuff used to affix the label. It leaves a dark mark that cannot be washed or scoured off. Oh, and for those who have never cooked or baked with aluminum from "back in the day", aluminum will scratch when used and it may get "chalky" if run through the dishwasher. That is just the nature of the metal.
Cleaning in between prep and baking was easy. The pan is lightweight but very sturdy
December 2, 2015
I bought two of these. The first was so that we would have two half sheet pans and another after getting the first and realizing what we had prior was not half sheet. I did not use it to bake cookies, but fried chicken. Wife has celiac disease so I decided to fry up some chicken because she had been craving it. Used the pan and a wire rack in the prep. Worked out well.Used them again to finish cooking the chicken in the oven after frying them. Cleaning in between prep and baking was easy. The pan is lightweight but very sturdy. I'm very pleased to have a fine product manufactured here in the USA. Wife should be baking cookies using these soon!
Great value!
November 28, 2015
Fantastic baking sheet that conducts heat (and cold if left in the refrigerator) amazingly well. I bought the half-sheet and quarter-sheet. Be aware that these items' finish will scratch fairly easily. I accidentally used a heavy-duty Scotch-Brite pad on the quarter-sheet, and the finish is now heavily scratched. However, this does not affect its use - only its look. So, I still highly recommend this product.I do not wash this item in the dishwasher. The product information that you receive with the item says that while you can wash them in the dishwasher, it will cause discoloration but will not affect it's cooking ability. So, if you want a dishwasher safe baking pan that will look brand new after several washings, do not buy this product.

So far so good
December 27, 2013
I read a fair amount of negative reviews on this item and the warping of the cookware, however i have not had that issue yet or the rusting issue either. For the price i have to say i am satisfied with the quality of the pans. Its not top of the line naturally, but if you want that then expect to pay three times as much otherwise for the value of these pans you cannot go wrong. They feel pretty sturdy and strong to me. I have not used the bread or muffin pan yet, but i have used the other ones multiple times already.

Value = Excellent
Price per piece =Excellent
ratio of quality to price = Excellent
Quality of items without price in mind = OK
Forget the celebrity chef bakeware...get what you need
December 12, 2013
Very high quality at an affordable price. The coating is well-done and the pans all have a satisfying weight (for bakeware, mass means better heat retention and distribution). My only complaint would be that this set should have 2 bread pans and 2 muffin pans. Highly recommended.

Caution recommended
October 12, 2017
IF I'm using a silpat mat or a rack for roasting - this sheet pan is fine. IF however, I want to bake directly in this pan - for brownies or a sheet cake, then there are the dings - one of them pretty significant - that need to be considered. And so I always resort to my old sheet pan instead of this 'new' replacement. This is the sort of thing I should have kept in mind before ordering. Sometimes items ordered are pristine & work wonderfully from the get go.. and sometimes you get something FAR from it. This sheet pan is one of those 'far from it' items. I won't buy another sheet pan online, but will shop in a store for a replacement - probably from another brand since I don't know who allowed for a dinged up pan to be sent out in the first place. Disappointed.
The logo is unnecessary and just annoys me!
August 11, 2017
I love sheet pans similar this and have owned many in my lifetime. Everyone else I know must love them too, as my supply of five sheet pans had dwindled down to two. I needed more - so I ordered these since they were so well reviewed. When they got here I was really disappointed in two things: specifically they feel a little lighter weight than the ones I've owned in the past, and they have a sizable raised logo that stretches across about a third of the bottom of pan – which is exactly what I don't want – I don't want one more place for gunk to get stuck.
Not Good!
June 22, 2017
This would have got 5 stars if not for the dents and there are a few, before purchasing I read in reviews that others have received them dented as well but I figured I might get lucky, didn't happen! The dents are not from shipping so your guess is as good as mine. I would have returned it but for the price its not worth the hassle. This would be a nice product if not for dents but again... reviews indicate many have received this item dented. I would recommend to others looking at this item to look elsewhere, preferably locally where you can actually see the item.
Fits Breville Toaster Oven, Nice quality pan, Metal darkens when washed in dishwasher
June 11, 2017
This fits my Breville Toaster Oven (Breville BOV800XL Smart Oven Breville BOV800XL Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ, Silver) just right and I like the heft of the pan -- it is the kind that won't warp. My problem is: when my husband accidentally put this into the dishwasher, the metal darkens and now have spots from Silpat that I use on top of it. I don't know if I should toss this away but I wouldn't bake anything without the silpat on it, so I figure my food won't touch the metal directly. For this, I deduct 2 points -- truly, it is very easy to toss everything in the dishwasher and I'm sure we are not the first/last person to have done so.
Thin Material
November 16, 2016
I am disappointed by how thin this pan is. It's only 20-gauge. While the pan has wire embedded in the rim to prevent or reduce warping, the thin gauge is not so good for even heat distribution. My other sheet pans vary from 12-gauge to 14-gauge.

Good starter set
July 25, 2012
We purchased these after moving into a new house but I think we will be replacing them soon. After less than a years normal use and proper washing and drying we are getting quite a bit of rust spots on all pieces. Also the nonstick seems to be working less and less regardless of what is being cooked in it. So in short it's a good cheap set to start out with but in time you will need to invest in some quality bakeware.
decent
March 23, 2012
The life expectancy, like most non-stick finished bakeware, really depends on how you treat it. I purchased this set and gave the casserole and loaf pans to a friend of mine, and kept the other pieces. Now, about a year later, and with frequent use, on the two round cake pans and cookie sheet, they are still holding up fairly well. My cakes slide right out of the pans, and the non-stick coating looks the same as it did brand new. The cookie sheet has a few spots where the coating has discolored, and the raised brand name in the middle of the pan (which Im not sure why they placed that there) has started to rust on the letters.
I cannot say the same for the pieces I gave away, as my friend says that they scratched and rusted within the first few months of use.
I think that I would purchase this set again, mostly because it was a good price, and included all the pieces you need for any kind of baking job.

Spotted and ruined after one wash!
October 11, 2017
Was looking forward to these pans since they fit perfectly side-by-side in my oven and they have great reviews. But after one dishwashing, they completely lost their lustre & smoothness. Not sure if the protective film came off or what but not the quality I expected when so many customers raved about them.As another reviewer put it "There were map-like spots" after the first wash and they never look shiny again. See pics to see what this means exactly.I still use them even though they look embarrassingly gross, but only because I use them with a cooling rack too, (Stainless Steel Cooling Rack - 10 Inches X 15 Inches Heavy Duty, Commercial, Metal Wire Grid Rack) so my food doesn't actually touch the nasty pans.
Started corroding after the first use
July 2, 2017
The first thing I cooked on this surface was a batch of 6 tortilla flats with pesto and ham toppings. Upon removing the cooked food, I noticed that the aluminum beneath had turned a rusty brown. I hand-washed it and was able to remove the stains, but they just continued to accumulate from other foods. Now, if I scrub off the brown stains, my wash pad is covered in black residue. The surface of the pan also "springs" when lifted. Considering the fact that I bought these to replace rusty steel sheets on which I could not cook without aluminum foil, this is absolutely wasted money.Never use these without a sheet liner. Not even once.

So disappointed! I had high hopes for this pan but it came dented!! Not happy at all - it wasn't the packaging - it was packaged great - has awesome reviews but...........
One of them had small dents in it so I didn't feel like I could gift it
May 25, 2017
I ordered these for a gift initially. One of them had small dents in it so I didn't feel like I could gift it. Amazon replaced them and I kept them for myself as the event passed for the gift. When I washed them, one of the sheets appears as though the finish has come off in places. It is a darker gray and not shiny at all like the rest of the cookie sheet and the other one. I am afraid to use it now because I don't know what is underneath the finish. I would replace these, but cannot find a link to do so since these are already replacements. Very disappointed in this product and glad I didn't give it as a gift.
Loved it until it warped just over a month of use
January 16, 2017
Let me start with saying I loved this pan at first. It was the perfect thickness and baked my cookies evenly. My purchase date was December 8th, 2015. Now, just over a month after ordering my pan SEVERELY warped. I was baking pizza in the oven and placed the pan on hot pads. It immediately warped. It was a pretty expensive pan, so I am disappointed. Overall, it has received excellent reviews, so I am kind of shocked it warped on me. Just a little disappointed.

December 23, 2016
If, like me, you ordered this based on America's Test Kitchen recommendation and link, you will be disappointed. This pan is not the one they reviewed which fit their best rated rack. I ordered both intending to give as presents, but the dimensions of this pan are not as large as the previous half sheet pan, so the rack doesn't fit inside the pan. I attempted to order this directly and via the America's test kitchen site, but the pan that arrived was the 'natural' version rather than the original half bakers sheet.

Not up to Calphalon standards.

The cookie sheet warped at temperatures as low as 350 degrees. I can't make cookies at all. The other items are sturdier, probably due to a higher rim.

Pan did warp in oven. Not heavy gauge by comparison to any other baking pans I have owned in 40 years. It isn't the product I expected from Calphalon although it the price seemed cheap.
This isn't the best set. I've definitely had much much better
December 8, 2014
This isn't the best set. I've definitely had much much better. The 9 X11 sheet twists every time I put it in the oven and makes a loud noise It does straighten back out). When I put it in the dishwasher rusty water pores from around the edge even those I wash it standing on its side (???), weird. I've had the set for 4 months and it has done this since day one.
They look nice if that counts
May 22, 2014
I am usually very fond of this brand and look for it at places when I need things, it is usually very good quality. These are not. I had a set of these used a couple of them one night to cook dinner, firsts use ever, washed them, let them dry, then went to put them away and the rolled metal around the edges had a surprise for me. This part was still full of water and had proceeded to rust. The rusty water went everywhere. I had amazon send another set thinking it might just be a faulty pan. Not at all the set I have now does the same thing. But hey they look alright and they do work I guess.
Not as good as I thought they would be
May 17, 2012
I bought 2 sets of these for my daughters..they started sticking about 3 months after they were bought. They were well taken care of but seemed to be losing their non stick coating..and not as heavy duty as I believed they would be.

Gross
October 12, 2017
A friend of mine ordered one of these and I borrowed it and loved it so I decided to purchase one, however it came with some nasty stuff on the bottom I can't wash or scrub off without scratching the pan and it was completely covered in this gross dark black dirt that was really hard to wash off.
This product is a total disappointment
September 23, 2017
I don't understand why this product is so highly reviewed. I ordered it based on those recommendations, however, the product is a total disappointment - not nearly as well made as the reviewers and product maker suggest. Have used it 3 or 4 times and the bottom of the pan is completely scratched up. All I have done to it is wash it, take it in and out of the oven, and store it alone on a shelf. These scratches must be from taking it in and out of then oven, a normal process which all my other bakeware seems to survive unscathed.Furthermore, the pan it self isn't solid. That is to say, the bottom pops back and forth depending on which side you touch, like the pop up button on a bottled drink that let's you know if it's been tampered with. It has yet to bow in the oven but I'm sure that will come soon enough as I have only been using it at 375. I wish I could return it but it is out of date as I only bake once a month or so. I will be sure to recycle it. You have been warned.
Silver residue after washing -- no thanks
November 30, 2016
Sent this back right away. After washing for the first time lots of silver material came off while drying it. After many washes and lots of dry wiping the silver residue persisted.
Lost quality after first wash
September 25, 2016
I bought these because of the high ratings. When i got the item it looked so promising. But, sad to say, after the first wash, it lost it lustre, smoothness and quality. There were map-like spots.
Horrible Product!
August 4, 2016
Horrible product! Used them each once and as soon as I tried to wash the sheets trays with a sponge it turned all nasty grey and tarnished looking as if the coating was coming off or something. They were too disgusting to cook on after that so I just threw them in the trash. Don't buy this product!

August 23, 2017
I've had this set for about 8 months. The coating on the cake pan is peeling off the pan itself. I do not feel safe eating food cooked out of it for fear I'll ingest the lining. I'm disappointed, I had better opinions of Caphalon before purchasing this set.
Inferior, doesn't live up to Calphalon name
December 15, 2016
After one use (cooking a roast beef) the finish scrubbed off on the roasting pan. I own Calphalon pots but the roasting pan included in this set is workmanship is less than a dollar-store knock-off. Does not live up to the Calphalon brand quality.
Poor quality
November 25, 2016
Awful quality. 1st time I used the cake pan part of the coating peeled off. Used a cookie sheet to bake bacon and the coating stuck to the bacon in places. It is inexpensive for a set including this many pieces but sometimes you get what you pay for. Would not recommend.
Not a Good Buy
October 30, 2016
I have purchased Calphalon products before and I absolutely love this cookware. I bought the bakeware from Amazon with the same expectations. However, this dishwasher-safe bakeware comes out of the dishwasher with rust colored water every time, staining all around it. I have never had heard of any Calphalon products doing this, but I am very disappointed with this purchase.
