From the manufacturer

Naturals Aluminum Bakeware

The superior heat conductivity of aluminum ensures that you achieve consistent, evenly browned results every time you bake. Pure aluminum will never rust, and a reinforced, encapsulated rim prevents warping.

• Nordic Ware pioneered natural aluminum bakeware for the consumer market over 15 years ago and now has over 40 styles available in the collection

• Made of pure, uncoated natural aluminum

• 100% made in USA in Minneapolis, Minnesota

• Encapsulated solid core steel rim

• Pans are made of a special hardened aluminum alloy that provides superbly uniform heat conductivity and maximizes scratch resistance

• Shiny and non-porous natural aluminum provides natural nonstick performance

• Embossed Nordic Ware logo signal quality and value from a trusted legacy brand for over 70 years

Encapsulated Solid Core Steel Rim


Coils of wire Having an encapsulated steel rim adds structural support to prevent warping of the pan.	Bending wires to size Wires are bent to perfectly fit inside the rim of our bakeware sheets.	A finished wire Wires are made of Galvanized Steel and will not rust.	Steel rim fully encapsulated An encapsulated steel rim turns an exceptional baking sheet into a product that will withstand a lifetime of use.

Use and Care for Natural Aluminum

• Before initial use and after subsequent uses, hand wash with warm, soapy water.

• Dishwasher use is not advised as discoloration will occur due to the cleaning agents used in automatic dishwasher detergent. This discoloration is merely cosmetic and will not affect baking properties or safety of the pan.

• Natural aluminum pans work well with parchment paper, silicone baking mats, and also traditional butter or shortening and flour methods. When roasting savory foods such as vegetables, butter or cooking oil work well.

• Nylon, wood, or silicone utensils are recommended. Metal utensils and scouring pads may scratch natural aluminum pans, but will not affect baking performance

• Aluminum is reactive to acidic ingredients such as vinegar and tomato products. These foods may darken, pit or corrode the pan after prolonged use.

EXCELLENT HEAVY DUTY PAN

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2024

Color: NaturalSize: Quarter Sheet, 2-PackStyle: Quarter SheetPattern Name: BakewareVerified Purchase

However - PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT - if you run your lovely shiny bare aluminum pan through the dishwasher (or leave your bf unsupervised while he's loading the dishwasher) it WILL discolor because of the chemicals involved. Mine is now a gorgeous iridescent purple/tarnished silver color. This does NOT affect its usability, for all the people having issues with this in the reviews.
I love my Nordicware sheet pans, they're heavy, durable, don't warp, heat evenly, are easy to grasp because of the thick rolled edge, and are easy to clean without resorting to the dishwasher - if you've done something unconscionable like bake a cheesy saucy pizza on it without a parchment paper, just give it a soak in soapy water for a bit and scrub with a plastic scrubby or Scrub Dudly-type sponge.
These pans are worth the investment, and if you take care of them, they could feasibly last for generations. 😊

Excellent Sheet Pans!

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2024

Color: NaturalSize: Jelly Roll, 1-PackStyle: Jelly RollPattern Name: BakewareVerified Purchase

These are the perfect size sheet pans for a standard oven! They heat evenly, they don't warp and most importantly, they're very heavy duty! When you take them out of a hot oven and set them on a cooling rack, you can here them popping as they cool, but they do NOT warp. I've had these for a year or more now and have used them many, many times and they haven't discolored or anything. They basically look brand new. I have 4 of them now and they're all I use. I don't bake, but I've cooked bacon on them and countless other foods and have had nothing but a positive experience. I'm convinced they'll last a lifetime and the price really is really good! I'll be ordering more for gifts!

Great sheet pan small problem in the dishwasher.

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024

Color: NaturalSize: Eighth Sheet, 1-PackStyle: Eighth SheetPattern Name: BakewareVerified Purchase

I'll start by saying I really like this pan! I use it several times a week, the heat distribution is excellent and it is lightweight but sturdy and easy to clean. My only complaint is that when I wash it and put it in a drying rack. The way it was manufactured allows for water to be retained in the rolled "lip" of the perimeter of the pan which almost always results in excess water stored in some part of the pan after all other dishes are normally dry. This is not a big issue, just give it a couple of shakes, but that is the only reason I dropped a star from the Easy to clean category.

Love these Nordic Wear pans

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2024

Color: NaturalSize: Half Sheet, 2 Count (Pack of 1)Style: Half SheetPattern Name: BakewareVerified Purchase

I purchased two Nordic Ware Natural Aluminium Baker's Half Sheet pans. I love Nordic Ware pans. They are an inexpensive pan for baking and they last for years. I never put them in the dishwasher, they are just so easy to clean with hand washing. My old Nordic Ware pans are over 25 years old and still look great. Natural Aluminium will stain if you don't care for them properly so be careful with acidic products like dishwasher detergent and tomato products .

I would like to say something about Amazon, I ordered these pans and when they arrived the pans were badly damaged during shipping. I contacted Amazon, immediately by going to my order on the Amazon website and clicked return. Told them about the damage with just a few clicks I had everything I needed to make my return. I took my QR Code and the damaged pans to UPS and I was out of there in about 5 minutes. That was on Thursday and my new pans arrived on Friday. I want to thank Amazon for their customer service. It was a breeze!! Hopefully I will not have another damaged item but if I do I know that Amazon will take care of it quickly and professionally,

Love the 2 pans. Quarter sheets is what I bought. These are so sturdy. I use a convection oven. They do not warp with high heat. I have a different type of sheet and it warped once gets hot. These do not. Right size, right thickness. Easy to keep clean also. I do recommend getting parchment sheets to use with these. I use them then only wipe with a cloth after use. Love these pans well made, sturdy.

Very important review between Nordic and Vollrath

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2020

Color: NaturalSize: Half Sheet, 2 Count (Pack of 1)Style: Half SheetPattern Name: BakewareVerified Purchase

After months (close to a year) of searching and trialing different baking sheets, I have found the perfect (or two perfect) ones for your consideration. I am hoping this to be a very informative review and I hope you will like it! I hope this is going to be helpful to you. Learn from my experience (and trial and error) so you buy the correct baking sheet the first time—save you time, money, and energy.

This review is going to focus on two of my favorite brand’s QUARTER SHEET BAKING SHEETS. The results may or may not apply to HALF SHEETS or any other sizes. Why? Because a manufacturer may make their products differently for different product lines. Just like Ford may make good truck but not their sedans, or Subaru makes good SUVs but not necessarily pickups. It’s just an analogy! Anyway, Nordic and Vollrath are being compared here. I didn’t get the Chicago Metallic brand… maybe next time!!

To start – I baked side-by-side using both brands and here are my findings:

They are both “standard sized” quarter sheets – but one is slightly larger than the other. The Vollrath brand is slightly larger (or perhaps Nordic is slightly smaller??). Your “standard size” quarter-sheet baking rack will sit perfectly inside the Vollrath sheet flush and flat. On the other hand, the same rack will not sit flush in Nordic pan. In fact, you will have to very carefully balance the rack on the edge of the Nordic quarter-sheet … and if you but it just a little . .. . slush~ the rack will fall into the pan or fall off entirely.

See the attached photos. So, is backing rack an important feature for your particular bake job? If yes, then you will have a hard time using the Nordic brand—either that or you have to buy purposefully smaller sized baking rack than what is “standard sized.” If not, who cares. I do need a baking rack for many of the things I bake—a rack that falls off easily is not acceptable to me. But who needs a rack for cookies? Wings? You have to think about this aspect for your own purposes.

Manufacturing: the Nordic pan was perfect in attention to details. The photo of the back of the quarter-sheet pan shows you how each manufacturer rolled their heavy duty aluminum. Nordic rolled theirs much more perfectly and more detailed. See photo. On the other hand, Vollrath pan was kind of …Meh~ Like as if the manufacturer said “that’s good enough of a roll.” Does the bad rolling job make the Vollrath pan useless? No. The baking result is not impacted from my test-baking. But there’s something to be said about perfection.

True Heavy Weight?: Both brands claim to be “Heavy Duty.” Check out the photos: Vollrath weighs in at 348 grams while the Nordic weighs in at 460 grams. If you do the math, this means the Nordic quarter sheet is approximately 30% more material! Yes, there’s 30% more aluminum in the Nordic quarter-sheet than the Vollrath product. That’s “30% heavier” duty.. I suppose you can put it that way. But the baking result with the Vollrath is not impacted (no warping, food bakes out equally on a side-by-side bake test). So is the extra 30% more material necessary? Thin baking sheet has the problem of bending and warping during baking (this is a known problem). If the product does NOT bend of warp… 348 gm vs. 460 gm ? Hmm. I dunno.

But then again .. . Nordic is heavier weight, great, but it doesn’t accommodate a “standard sized” baking rack!!! Which is more important?? Now that’s where you need to decide for yourself.

If you bake often foods that require a rack, you absolutely need a smaller rack or use the Vollrath quarter sheet to accommodate standard quarter-sheet racks. The Nordic will not fit those. On the other hand, if your bake often foods that sit directly on the pan and do not need a rack, or only uses the rack sporadically, you might be better off getting the Nordic quarter sheet and enjoy its 30% heavier weight and better machine job / better attention to details. Or get both – one Vollrath for one job, one Nordic for another job.

OR, go find a smaller quarter-sheet rack (say, 1/8” smaller each side) to accommodate the Nordic quarter-sheet, then you have the best of both worlds. But that means you have to buy “less than standard sized” baking rack by about 1/8” smaller each side. Why can’t just “standard sized” things work standardly? Why don’t they just work perfectly? That was my frustration with Nordic quarter-sheet this entire time. I love that quarter-sheet but whenever I needed to use a rack, Nordic became useless to me.

Thickness: You can see from the photos that the Nordic quarter-sheet is slightly thicker than the Vollrath. This came from being 30% more weight/material. I am not detecting the benefit of this extra thickness. Better heat retention? More anti-warping? More stable? Heavier? Stronger?

Other things: Both quarter-sheets are NOT (I repeat, NOT) safe in dishwasher. They both need to be hand washed. They both do NOT come seasoned and they are NOT non-stick. Your best bet is put down a sheet of silicon baking sheet. I personally don’t recommend aluminum foil (but that’s what everyone does). My recommendation against aluminum foil is the excessive intake of aluminum which may be associated with Alzheimer’s disease. (This is not a medical preach, please use your own research). I simply recommend you use a silicon baking mat instead of an aluminum foil bottom to avoid getting even more aluminum in your diet. I do NOT recommend baking directly on either Nordic or Vollrath quarter-sheets: food spot will be permanently baked into the pans, black scorch marks and carbon deposits will permanently cook into the aluminum sheets and there is no easy reversal (if at all). I know, it’s only $15 a quarter-sheet so it’s not too expensive. I happen to like my things to last for years. :-)

I hope this has been helpful. Write me comments if you need to ask more questions. I am attaching 8 or 9 photos to help with this review. Thanks!! Happy shopping!!

These are great change from my older pans with textured surface that I never could clean good enough. And that were few inch too short on both directions despite of stating "half sheet".
These are big enough to bake 2 8in cake layers and cutting leftovers on a side, so now baking a multi tiered cake takes half the time, finally.
I can't find a silicone mat of proper size for it, except for ridiculous 60bucks or so, I have no clue why, but it has nothing to do with the pan itself.
These are very good quality, they don't bulge or budge, they stay clean metal, they're light weight but sturdy and overall i see nothing to complain about. I don't believe the logo is of any trouble for cleaning, definitely not as trouble as when the whole surface is textured... but I haven't cooked anything really sticky just yet. After few uses they still look like new with no staining or any traces of use or washing. Totally worth it and my old pans go to trash after I tried these!

These are perfect - I no longer need to juggle two pans on separate racks to fit my cooking - these are large enough and fit perfect in my oven and so easy to clean
