Nordic Ware 43171 2-Piece Set-Prism Half Sheet w/Oven Safe Nonstick Grid, Aluminum

Fantastic pan, looks great, performs really well and easy to clean. I suspect it will last for years too!

it retains heat and cleans reasonably easy

This pan is way better than any cheap, thinner one you might get from a local store. I bought a set of very cheap sheet pans that were much smaller than this one. There were two in a pack for about $3. They would "pop" and bend in the oven while being used, and also became heavily stained and browned in no time. This pan on the other hand, has been lovely. First of all, it is very heavy and does not warp or bend even if you try to bend it with your hands. It feels super sturdy and like it will last forever. It also doesn't "pop" while in use in the oven. And things that I have previously baked on a baking/cookie sheet have turned out slightly better just from using this pan. The fact that it has a raised design in it that elevates the food slightly seems to help with baking and browning. I noticed some reviews that mentioned getting dented pans. Mine was not dented in any way it just had some light marks or scratches at where the corners are. It is a very large pan, and I knew that it would be from reading the description. But seeing it in person makes you realize just how large the half sheet is. I needed to place it inside the refrigerator to let the butter in some biscuits chill before baking and it was a challenge to get it to fit in there. But with the temporary removal of a few items from the fridge, I managed. The rack that comes with it is also very nice and fits just perfectly inside the pan. It is also nice that the rack's lines are close to each other and run in both directions. There is no worries that any food you place on the rack is going to slip or fall through the rack. I have not used the rack in the oven yet but it is nice that it is oven safe along with the pan. Only complaints I have are that it does take some work to clean the pan up. I have had some brown spots where I have had to scrub a good bit to get it clean. It is not super hard but it does take some effort and a scrubbing sponge helps. And I have noticed some cloudiness showing up in the bottom of the pan. I don't know what is causing it. It hasn't affected the pan's use, it just looks a bit odd is all.

Heavy duty and good quality. I use this in my smoker all the time and it has stood up to multiple uses with no issues

I'm having a great time baking with this. The riddges didn't convince me at first and I decided to see it with my own eyes after so many recommendations. And here we are, I already don't want to use anything else. I got a halfsheet with grid and already planning my next one. Maybe a size for cakes/brownies.
