Chicago Metallic Professional 3-Piece Value Pack with 2 Cookie/Jelly Roll Pans and Cooling Grid Review

I purchased this on the Friday sale for a real bargain price ($20) and that is quite deal.

This is the real stuff - heavy duty, quality construction.I have used them with and without a silpat for baking cookies, finishing satueed fish fillets, oven roasting vegetables and many other purposes.

They are easy to clean and substantial.There do not seem to be any hot spots or other problems.

The only complaint I have, and I make it with reservations, is that they ARE heavy.Do not try to lift a loaded sheet out of the oven with one hand.The weight is also a good thing (see "substantial" above) but it easy to forget just how heavy it is going to be when you reach for that hot pad!

Chicago Metallic Professional Nonstick Perforated Baguette Pan Review

I've been working on making the perfect French bread baguette. (It's delicious with goat cheese and some artichoke-lemon spread, but that's another review.) I have an excellent bread machine recipe for the dough but letting the bread proof on my pizza stone before cooking it resulted in slightly "squashed" loaves that were more like narrow ellipses than circles. Although I love my stone's effect on a loaf's crisp crust, I finally ordered this baguette pan.
Mindful of the recommendations in other reviews, I sprayed the pan with cooking oil before using it. I also tossed some corn meal on it. (What can I say? I like its effect on the crust.) I laid the dough in the pan's "troughs," let it rise, then moved it to a preheated oven to bake. Unable to part with the stone entirely, I placed the pan on top of it. The loaves turned out beautifully. They're almost perfectly round, about 2" in diameter; the crust was even crispier than when I used my stone, and it's fairly even all around--slightly more brown on top than on the bottom, perhaps because of the stone being underneath.
Since my kids ate them all, I had to make more the next day. This time, I didn't stretch the dough as much so they came out as 3" baguettes. I also reduced the heat a little, as the pan's instructions recommend. The loaves touched when they rose, so I pulled them apart after about ten minutes of baking. That wasn't a problem though, and they came out even better than before.
Cleanup is easy, especially if you spray the pan, but the perforations are a bit harsh on a sponge, so you might want to use the recommended nylon scrub or a paper towel instead. (Cleaning corn meal out of those holes is a little difficult, however, so I'm reconsidering using corn meal.)
If you bake baguettes frequently, I heartily recommend this pan! (No offense to my pizza stone.)

Chicago Metallic Angel Cake Pan with Feet Review

This is one of the best pans I have ever purchased, and I have quite a few. It bakes evenly, and the chocolate angel food cake that I use it for is scrumptious to the last drop. It came last week, and I have so far baked three. I messed up the second one, but rebounded with the third. I plan to use it for other cakes as well. I make an apple butter cake which is to die for, and I am certain it will work well in this pan. And from there who knows. That said, thanks for the pan, and double thanks for the great service. Amazon you are the best, and till next time piece. I just love doing business with your company.

Calphalon Classic Bakeware 9-Inch Round Nonstick Cake Pan Review

Calphalon Classic Bakeware 9-Inch Round Nonstick Cake Pan is made of sturdy aluminumized steel and is thick enough to feel very solid.More importantly, the extra thickness will help heat spread evenly throughout the pan and prevent warping over time.The nonstick coating has worked very well so far and with proper care should continue to last for quite a few years.Calphalon does not recommend putting it in the dishwasher, but that is standard for nonstick products.

My experiences with this baking pan so far have been completely positive.The baking does appear to be even throughout the pan and I've had no issue with the nonstick coating.The only thing I can't speak to is how it will perform over many years but it certainly seems very sturdy and durable so far.I can see no problems with it and recommend to anyone looking for a first class 9" cake pan.

Product Description:
Calphalon's 9-inch, nonstick cake pan is constructed of heavyweight, aluminized steel that distributes heat evenly and will not twist or warp over time. Sturdy, reinforced rolled rims enable this pan to maintain its shape. The two-tone surface promotes perfect browning. A silver grey exterior assures efficient baking time and a medium grey interior protects against overbrowning. The reliable nonstick surface is made to release baked goods cleanly and completely, so cleanup is fast and easy. The pan is oven safe to 450 degrees F, but is not broiler safe. Dishwasher detergents contain caustic chemicals that will damage the nonstick surface and void the lifetime warranty. To best maintain the pan, use nylon, wood or coated utensils when cooking and cleaning. When storing, place a linen or paper towel between the pan and other items to prevent one from scratching the other. The pan is covered by Calphalon's lifetime warranty when put to normal household use and cared for according to instructions.
