Our Verdict
A no-nonsense, commercial-style 9x13 that bakes evenly and won't warp, with a lid that makes it a go-to for party desserts. If you make butter mochi, ube bars, or sheet cakes, it's one of the best values in bakeware. Just keep it out of the dishwasher.
What We Liked
- Pure aluminum heats quickly and evenly, so ube sheet cakes, butter mochi, and cassava cake bake flat with golden, not scorched, edges
- The reinforced steel rim resists warping, a common problem with thin, cheap 9x13 pans after a few hot bakes
- The snap-on BPA-free plastic lid turns it into a carry-and-store container, which is handy for bringing ube bars or layer cake to a potluck
- Made in the USA and backed by Nordic Ware's lifetime warranty, at about $26.50 with the lid
Drawbacks
- Uncoated aluminum isn't dishwasher safe; detergent discolors it, so plan to hand wash
- The interior is 12.25 x 8.75 inches, slightly smaller than a true 9x13, so very full batters may need a few extra minutes in the oven
- Bare aluminum can react with long contact with acidic foods, so don't store tomato-heavy or vinegary dishes in it for days
