Nonstick Naturals Aluminum Bakeware

These Natural aluminum pans have premium gold nonstick added to their interiors for easy release and cleaning. Our proprietary nonstick is time-tested and has proven to be especially durable and resistant to scratching. Encapsulated galvanized steel rims prevent warping. Made of aluminum for even heating and superior baking performance.

How It’s Made: Naturals Bakeware

Our Naturals bakeware starts out as a solid coil of aluminum, weighing several thousand pounds. The coil is fed into a press, which first performs a ‘blanking’ operation to cut out the rough shape of the pan. Next, it is roughly formed to resemble the shape of the finished pan. Finally, a galvanized steel rim, which gives rigidity to the pan, is added, and the edges of the pan are curled around the steel rim to encapsulate it fully. Our galvanized steel rims are formed on-site at Nordic Ware too; they begin as long metal rod and go through a series of bending maneuvers to be properly sized for each pan. After all of the metalworking is complete, the pan is sent to be washed and packed. One of the great aspects of manufacturing with pure aluminum is that it is highly recyclable, so any scrap metal that is produced during our production process can be re-melted down and used again.

70 Years of Innovation

With wife Dotty at his side, Dave Dalquist returned from WWII to start a business. From humble beginnings in a basement, Nordic Ware has become an internationally distributed kitchenware brand with a variety of product lines, hundreds of products and millions of fans!

Still a family owned and operated in the US, the company is honored to occupy a place in the new Food History exhibit at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Last fall, Nordic Ware was chosen for the prestigious 2015 Minnesota Manufacturing Award for Sustainability, which firms we work hard to minimize our environmental footprint. Our company moves into 2016 poised for the future, with last year setting an all-time record in sales volume and production efficiency.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you also make a heavy gauge stainless steel version of this 1/4 sheet pan
Answer:	Turn the cover you want to put on inside out and lay on bed. Then lay your blanket on top and attach the ties. Turn the cover and blanket right side out and zip close. This is the easiest way I have found to change the cover..
Question:	Why did I not get any paper work with the information on not to use the pans in the dishwasher? There was nothing from the manufacture
Answer:	Dear Customer, It is commercial machine washable. For best care and preserve the life of the blanket, we recommend wash the weighted blanket above 12 lbs in commercial washer or spot clean, as it may exceed household machine capacity. Weighted blanket is engineered to be 7-12% of your body weight to improve sleep and liven up your mood for another level of relaxation. Please choose the weight according to your body weight. Thanks and best regards, Sivio Customer Service

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a cooling rack that fits the 1/8th sheet pan
Answer:	Yes dishwasher safe and cleans up very well. Very sturdy pans.
Question:	What gauge is the aluminum of this pan
Answer:	Hello, the exterior dimensions of the pan is 12 x 10 x 1 inch, but I suggest you can buy another size 10 x 9 x 1 inch. Thank you!
Question:	Has anyone found silicone mats to fit the eighth sheet
Answer:	I looked for the country of origin on the Amazon site and then on packaging when it arrived...nothing. Some research on the web leads me to believe they are made by a company in China. They are very well made and even beautiful, but I do wish the country of origin was clearly marked.
Question:	What are the inside dimensions of this pan
Answer:	The site states 18/0 stainless which means it contains no nickel (the latter of which is expensive) and which is sometimes called 430 stainless steel. It is slightly more subject to corrosion than 18/8 or 18/10 which are used for eating utensils. It is somewhat magnetic. From what I have read, that is not a determinant of whether it's food grade or not. Furthermore, if you check Amazon and restaurant supply sites, most baking pans are made of 18/0. That's all I know and have stated it as clearly as I can.

Our Story

Nordic Ware was founded in 1946 by a determined wife, Dotty, and her resourceful husband Dave, newly back from the second world war. With only 500 dollars in their pockets, a few good ideas and a desire to create a business of their own, a humble kitchenware company was launched from the basement of their home in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the beginning, Nordic Ware’s product line was only a handful of items, all of which were specialty Scandinavian ethnic cookware products. But times have changed! 70 years later with a good measure of perseverance added, Nordic Ware is still proudly manufacturing the vast majority of its products in Minneapolis. We’re proud to say that we’re still family-owned and operated, with three generations involved in our business, and each year we add innovative items to our expansive kitchenware line.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a pack of three sheet pans or just one pan
Answer:	3. I just got them last week. They are great.
Question:	Has anyone used this pan under the broiler
Answer:	Pretty much all sheet pans will permanently warp a little after using them in the oven multiple times. Broiler use just accelerates it. I use NordicWare pans now (for the past 3yrs), but also William Sonoma $50 sheet pans (ripoff, don't get these as NordicWare pans are equal quality and 80% less expensive lol!), as well as 3 or 4 different manufacturer's heavy-gauge aluminum sheet pans over the last 20yrs and all are slightly and permanently warpped after broiler use. The center of all the pans tends to stay bulged down just a little bit. Not significantly, but just enough to notice. If you put just enough water to spread out on 1/2 the pan, you'll notice the water pools in the center of all the pans over time after many heat cycles in the oven.
Question:	A dimensions query. Is it 18 x 13 across the top (from rolled lip to rolled lip) or does it measure on the bottom and thus is actually bigger? Thanx
Answer:	That's rolled lip to rolled lip dimension. Bottom dimension is 16.5" x 11.5". It's a standard half-sheet size.Also...if you're buying these, buy the rack inserts too. Great for foods that need air circulation on both sides when cooking.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OFND8W/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Question:	Is it heavy duty or a light aluminum
Answer:	Unfortunately this is one of those stupid Amazon listings that combines several products (full sheet, half sheet, quarter sheet, etc) so the reviews and questions all get lumped together. The Vollrath 5314 is a half sheet. The quarter sheet 5220 is 16 gauge (still heavier than the nordicware). Note that the smaller the pan the less heavy the gauge needs to be (and note that smaller number means THICKER).
Question:	Cake
Answer:	is cake is cake.
Question:	Can I use the rack to roast at high temps
Answer:	The rack has a coating and the small print says do not use above 400 degrees. I had to buy another uncoated rack for high temp roasting.
Question:	Is it 17 x 12 at the rim exactly
Answer:	The outside measurements at the rim are 17.75 x 13 exactly.
Question:	Is the Deluxe edition heavier gauge or better quality
Answer:	I don’t think so. The sheet pan quality is excellent. The deluxe part is I guess the oven rack. But the rack is not made by Nordic ware and is covered in a cheap non stick coating that is only oven safe until 400. I ended up having to buy a better quality rack that was stainless steel and oven safe to 500.
Question:	Made in USA
Answer:	Yes, this product is made in the USA.
Question:	Can this be used to defrost frozen meat
Answer:	Probably.
Question:	What is the percentage of Chromium
Answer:	It’s aluminum
Question:	Looking for 2 no edge,very thin cookie sheet. I use it as a spatular on the grill to flip a very large burger. Air bake cookie sheets are too thick
Answer:	Not what I would use. Look up “world greatest spatula “
Question:	what is the difference between large classic cookie sheet and the insulated baking sheet
Answer:	I have used an insulated sheet previously and they don't brown as well on the bottom. You may like that however. After several years the cookies started to stick. I still use it but with a silpat. I haven't actually used my large Nordic pan yet but I assume it will work like the jelly roll size pan. If greased, floured or covered with parchment the clean up is easy and I like the light browning on the bottom of my cookies.

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.
