I love the lip that this set has around the edges, it makes if very easy to remove your cake/ loaf after baking. The baking sheet is also raised which is pretty nice, you don't have to worry about tilting it a little if you need to. the silicone pieces aren't very functional, they do not come to the edge, so you will still need your oven mitts or a towel to remove the pan from the oven, so not a great design feature. The nonstick coating is amazing, didn't need to prep the pan at all, just poured the batter straight into the pan without greasing it! Hope it lasts!
