Kitchen Aid Cookware: AirBake Ultra Natural Baking Sheet Review

I have several AirBake Ultra Natural baking pans, which I absolutely love for making cookies because they are the only pans that do not burn cookies. I never had success with baking holiday cookies until I discovered AirBake pans. If you're like me, and tend to forget about your cookies in the oven for only the briefest moment (or you get interrupted while baking), the AirBake pans provides that extremely important, extra margin of error needed so your cookies do not come out burnt. The bottom of the pan has two sheets of Aluminum with air in the middle, and this extra layer prevents cookies from burning. My former pans (which I've given away) used to burn the cookies on the edges while under-cooking the middle. I like the Airbake pans because it cooks evenly and it doesn't burn cookies. So, if you're like me and forget about your cookies in the oven or you get interrupted, the extra minute or two or three minutes of baking will not burn your cookies at all. It's the easiest pan for someone that's multitasking while cooking.

Unfortunately, on this particular order (jelly roll pan size, that I was going to use for baking a jelly roll cake), Amazon/Target shipped me the wrong pan. I ordered the Ultra Natural AirBake, but received the non-stick AirBake version, so I am returning it. I own all Ultra Natural AirBake pans (i.e. pure Aluminum), and am avoiding any non-stick versions because non-stick in general tends to cook browner than what I desire.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of purchasing the ingredients to the cake (buttermilk, heavy whipping cream) just before receiving this pan, and unfortunately both of these two ingredients have just expired today and I do not have a replacement pan, so Target/Amazon's shipping error has cost me a loss of $5.00 on ingredients that I had purchased, so when you buy this pan, you probably should wait until you receive the pan before you purchase your ingredients, especially if it's anything as expensive as heavy whipping cream and buttermilk.

I gave the product five stars, because the AirBake Ultra Natural products (in different shapes & sizes) that I already own are excellent. My problem isn't Airbake, it's the shipper or the website description that doesn't match what was sent. Amazon either needs to update its website by adding "non-stick" in the description (which it currently does not do), or make sure the correct product is being sent. When you read this review, most likely Amazon will have already fixed thisproblem, so I wouldn't let that deter you from buying an excellent product.
