One of the best kitchen purchases we've made

One of the best kitchen purchases we've made. We love to use it, especially, to cook salt and pepper chicken wings on, so they get crispy all around as opposed to laying in the oil/fat and getting mushy on one side. Preset oven to 450 degrees, lay tin foil at the bottom on the pan. Place chicken wings on rack. Drizzle some olive oil on said wings, sprinkle salt and pepper around them, place it all in the 450 degree oven. 20 minutes in, flip them around. 25 more minutes longer and they should be ready. Muto bene!

Perfect

Love it! Been wanting one of these and now I've got one! Might have to purchase another...😁 Love the look and size. Not too heavy just perfect. Doesn't slide around in the oven either. Once I place it on the oven rack it sits in place I kind of have to lift it off the rack to reposition onto the correct spot I'm intending; if I notice it's not quite in the middle...a little picky about that but love it and it cleaned very well after a little cake residue fell on the baking tray.

Use this pan and you will be a BACON ROCK STAR!!!

Bought this for my husband for Father's Day as he's a BACONHOLIC. He was tired of cooking bacon on the stovetop because of all the splatter, the bacon curling, the ends not being done as the middle was charred to ash..... He loves this pan!!! Works perfectly! The first time he used it he was slightly bumbed that a full 16-oz. regular cut bacon didn't all fit at once. Then he tried the thick cut 12-oz. style. That works. He's used it four times so far with no warping in the oven and clean-up is a breeze! Best Father's Day purchase ever!!

but more of the size I was concerned about but it fits about a pound and a half of thick cut bacon on here with no problem 👍 and the rack holes are perfect size for the bacon not to fall through

SUCCESS! I really didn't have much doubt about the quality, but more of the size I was concerned about but it fits about a pound and a half of thick cut bacon on here with no problem 👍 and the rack holes are perfect size for the bacon not to fall through! Very pleased with this rack and look forward to many more things baked upon it. The empty bacon bag is included for visual reference when shopping.

Used It, Now Buying Another

I bought one of these sets (half pan and rack) based on the reviews and now I'm buying another one because it's just great. For example, I just made fish and french fries. Elevating both off of the pan makes them crispy and nice. The other thing they are nice for is that you can bake cookies and use the rack to cool them. --good quality pan --sturdy rack --pan did not warp in hot oven The only thing I would add is that if you get one of those 'Silpat' mats to put on the bottom (they fit perfectly) you won't have to do anything but quickly swish the pan out.

So far, this is an excellent value. Well built, feels like it will last a long time.

When I received this pan I was surprised by the heft as I picked it up. It felt heavy so I immediately got a magnet and verified it was indeed aluminum instead of something cheaper like "aluminized steel". The heft I felt is due, I think, to two things. The aluminum pan itself is a heavy gage (thick) aluminum with a nice robust beaded edge and, within the rolled edge bead my magnet detected what could be a heavy steel wire. A steel wire inside the edge probably helps stiffen the pan and prevent warping ( good). So, I'm very pleased with this pan so far. Once I get some use, I'll adjust review if needed.

Good pan, good rack (that's what she said)

Wanted something raised for cooking chicken and turkey meatballs. This is perfect, the baking rack is great for when you're cooking in the oven or letting something rest and letting the oil drip out. The pan is a good size. I've been using it regularly for a few months now (every week for meal prep). I like it so much, I just ordered another one. Pretty easy to clean. It's a little big for my dishwasher if it's completely full, but it's easy to clean by hand. I mean assuming you spray it down with some Pam or something similar.

Baking Sheet

Bought as a Christmas gift for my parents and they LOVE it. Makes cooking bacon easier, less messy (and painful) Dishwasher safe and all of the rest. The bacon we cooked on it for its first run came out very crispy and delicious. The fat is completely cooked away with this pan, so you don't get any disgusting chewy pieces of fat in your bacon.

Thick, Durable, Oven Safe - Great for Roasting, Baking, and as a Food Tray

This sheet is made of thick aluminum, making it sturdy and great for heat retention. The rack is stainless steel and oven-safe, with no annoying coatings to worry about. It's great to have a pan and rack combination for evenly roasting food and keeping them away from their drippings. As a bonus, the pan doubles as a sturdy, sizable food tray! I love using it to eat at my desk as it holds a lot of stuff and can be easily cleaned afterwards.

Best purchase I’ve made on Amazon

Best investment EVER!!!! Perfect for making crunchy bacon and chicken wings on the cooking rack. I recommend to anyone that’s trying to live a healthier lifestyle but not wanting to give up their “fried” foods.
