Natural Commercial Bakeware Cake Pan with Lid (9x13-in.) by Nordic Ware

I am in the process of sending this item back. Very dissapointed in the quality. Very thin metal and very sharp looking edges.

Having tried several covered cake pans in the past with cheap quality plastic lids that cracked after several uses, I was happy to find an aluminum pan with an actual aluminum lid that I thought would likely stand up to lots of use. While it remains to be seen how long this pan and lid will actually last, I have to say my early impressions are less than delighted. The pan and lid are made of rather thin aluminum (despite the "professional" designation on the packaging, the weight of the product feels anything but), and the lid does not easily snap on and off the pan - I had to take a butter knife and pry one end of the lid to get it to fit somewhat correctly. The edges of the lid are also surprisingly sharp and need to be handled with care to avoid cutting oneself. The cake my husband baked in it came out evenly browned and done just right, so in terms of baking quality, so far so good. I'm still somewhat disappointed with the quality of the pan - a thicker construction, heavier weight, and more attention to the fit between the pan and the lid would be positive improvements.

I was excited to see a pan with a lid that was not plastic, so I purchased two! When I received the pans, I noted the sharp edges without even having to remove the plastic protective wrap. I cannot believe that a company such as NordicWare would send out a product with what amounts to unfinished edges. There is no turn down or lip on the pan, just sharp metal edges. Therefore, I returned my items the next day and would not recommend this item to anyone. But would recommend that NordicWare find a better solution to the edge of this particular pan.

I had to return this item as the edges of the pan were unusually sharp. I love NordicWare products so I was surprised by this. Too bad because other then the edges being sharp it was nice.

Love this pan and lid. Makes my life easier without a plastic lid that does not warp, melt, or misshape and saves money on foil or press & seal. Of course, since its metal, when you cut pieces of cake or crispy treats, it does scratch fairly easily, but I guess I bought this for function, not fashion!! Seals much better than I had anticipated and keeps things fresh and tasty!!
