Nordic Ware Baker's Half Sheet with Lid, Natural Aluminum, 18.44x13.13x2.25 inches

Love having a sheet pan with a tall enough lid to accommodate cake frosting, small cupcakes, veggies, or whatever you want to tray. sturdy enough to stack.

Amazing. Recently moved and needed to stock kitchen. A cookie sheet wasn't really my first priority - plates and pans and silverware seemed more important. Until I wanted to roast potatoes.... Realized I needed a good large sheet for roasting veggies, which I do a lot. I also wanted a cookie sheet for baking...So I researched. I don't remember everything I read, but one idea stuck in my head. I had expected to buy two separate things, because I always liked the idea of a cookie sheet without sides that wouldn't interfere with the cookies (I find cookies with a straight edge bizarre). On the other hand, one of the blogs / review / articles I read mentioned that a good cookie sheet with side was versatile - and I realized that was the perfect solution. Ok, sold on the idea of a cookie sheet with sides. And the Nordic was generally considered the best.Then I learned that Nordic makes this one - plain aluminum - and another non-stick version. Again, turn to the research and they recommended the straight aluminum. It can be scrubbed clean and is pretty non-stick by nature. Even found this one with a lid - sold! I wanted to but they only had one in stock, so I figured it would be better to test first anyway.Bought it. Washed it. Discolored. Yup, before even one use, it was stained and discolored. But I didn't worry, I knew to expect that. So, I roasted my potatoes. Then my sweet potatoes. Then pumpkin. Even a whole chicken (haven't bought a roasting pan yet). Nothing stuck, everything cooked. No complaints.Then I made cookies. And I finally remembered this was a cookie sheet. The thick aluminum bottom did its job... these are the best cookies I've ever made. Cooked absolutely to perfection. Even browning on the bottom. Crisp bottom, gooey center. Incredible! I'm not a bad cook, but I've generally figured ingredients were the most important part. I was wrong. This cookie sheet puts all other cookie sheets to shame. Forget those sideless, air-pocketed, flimsy, warping sheet. This is incredible. And I'm going to order a second one right now! Two of these will probably cook 90% of the food that goes in my oven. And looking forward to years of use, as others have found them quite durable.PS - haven't used the lid yet, but figured it's nice to have around. I'm sure I'll be taking something somewhere with the holidays coming up.

This NordicWare 1/2 sheet pan is a great, no synthetic material pan that really works well. It cleans up easily with minimal effort. It is best used for all half sheet uses; rolled cakes, baking and roasting; not necessarily just baking cookies. This pan makes a great jelly roll, buche cake, and a real half sheet cake; good to cut in half and layer. This pan is also good for stacking and sculpting to decorate, as for a wedding cake. As far as I am concerned the lid is just an added bonus, I would buy the pan with or without it! I have a whole set, more than one in each size. Good job Amazon!!Nordic Ware Baker's Half Sheet with Storage Lid 13 Inch by 18 Inch

I was Very impressed at the difference in my cookies. I bought This because I liked the kid feature. I had A nice unexpected surprise when my sugar cookies cooked without browning on the bottom.It is really nice to be able to keep the lid on them overnight until I get back to them.

The pan is nice and sturdy and I am sure it will hold up well. However, the metal surface seems soft and it scratches easily, so it won’t look nice for long. The lid fits well and keeps baked goods fresh.

Superior quality. Best sturdy sheet pan I have ever purchased. Just wonderful that it even comes with a sturdy plastic cover to keep my Texas Sheet Cake fresh. Love it!

We have own a number of baking sheets that were bought 10 or 20 years ago. Recently, with shelter-in-place, we have been baking bread and bagels constantly. I finally decided to buy an half sheet which fills up the real estate of the oven, instead of using two smaller trays. Since I received it, I have baked bagels and they came out lovely!!! The tray is so professional looking and sturdy. I love it!! What an upgrade. The best part is that the cover is very useful when I need to let the dough proof a little more. Just place them on the tray and cover it up. No need to use saran wrap or wet towel. So convenient!!! Will buy again! :)

I have had a hard time getting the lid off but am glad it is obviously airtight……I’m guessing the fit will become a bit looser with time and use.
