The first set of pans I received had scratches on the cooking surface due to poor packaging by the Mfg. Amazon promptly replaced the damaged pan set and I am very pleased with the quality of these pans. They are heavy weight and do not warp in the oven as my previous pans did. One thing in the instructions I would take with a grain of salt is to set the oven temperature 25 degrees lower than called for in the recipe. I would recommend these pans.

I hoped against hope that my pans would arrive in good condition but they did not. I purchased from Amazon's open box / returns subsidiary, warehouse_deals but was very disappointed. They were described as open box, sealed in Amazon brown box and did not have "cosmetic blemishes" as the other two offers described. However, the plastic wrap was not intact, and, although the small pan looked great, the middle pan had a big scratch (down to the metal) on the rolled edge and the largest one was all beat up - dented and lumpy and a 4 inch wide scrape all across the back of the pan as well as inside. What a mess! I am not sure if putting in some kind of paper or dividers would help against scratching from the manufacturer -- it could scratch the pans as well. Since they are non-stick front and back, they probably easily slide around on each other.

I am sure the pans would be great if not beat up -- but non-stick will not work if the pan is scratched (especially from the start). These would start rusting right away from the scratches. I would not recommend putting them in the dishwasher once they had any scratches. I thought maybe I could just use parchment paper but the seller had a problem with their email auto-replies and never answered me about a possible discount so I returned the pan set.

These are the economy Chicago Metallic pans. The better quality Chicago Metallic pans cost $20+ each, instead of $20 for a set of three. These pans rust, even though the label reads dishwasher-safe. After using them, I realize its much better to spring for the better pans, or better yet get reasonably priced professional quality aluminum pans, and use parchment or silpats.

I love it! I have been looking for some heavy duty cooking pans and never found them. Now I have them thanks to Amazon. They cook up beautifully. I will be looking on Amazon from now on for items that are hard to find. I really like the jelly roll edges on the pans.

Thanks you so much!

Heavy weight professional pans that don't warp in the oven. Great buy!
