I had long wanted a sheet cake pan with a metal lid and I love this pan. Just got it yesterday so I have not used it yet. This is my third purchase of Nordic Ware bake ware and I love the fact they have some weight to their products. I had noted with a cake pan that I already had by Nordic Ware that when you use a baking spray, cakes come out of the pan easily and clean. I am sure this will work the same. The best thing about this pan is that it WAS MADE IN THE USA by a family owned business.
