Chicago Metallic Gourmetware Nonstick Make N' Take Pan with Lid.

Every kitchen should have a pan like this for lasagna, sheet cakes, big batches of mac & cheese, and so on. The two winning features of this particular pan are its non-stick interior which will save time and aggravation during serving and clean up, and the handy lid. Not only will the plastic cover make life easier if you are transporting your dish to a party, it also keeps food fresh for storage in the fridge.

Ideal for travel, this ingenious standard-size pan from Chicago Metallic makes messy food transport a thing of the past: its handy plastic lid keeps liquids from splashing on clothes or car seats and protects cake frosting far better than clingy plastic wrap. Combining the needs of a modern lifestyle with time-honored quality, this versatile pan also offers the strength, durability, and reliability professional bakers have come to expect from Chicago Metallic for more than 100 years.

Once available only to commercial kitchens, the pan is made of professional-weight aluminized steel, so it won't buckle or bend under intense heat and consistently provides fast and even heat distribution. Foods brown quickly and evenly--there's no need to turn the sheet midway through baking. Bakers new to aluminized steel should pay extra attention at first, since this heavy-gauge sheet bakes quickly than lighter-gauge varieties. The nonstick SilverStone surface allows cooking without butter or oil, and ensures easy cleanup of even over-browned cheese or caramelized sugar. As with all nonstick surfaces, be sure to use nonabrasive sponges and cleansers only, and choose wood, nylon, plastic, or rubber utensils to prevent damage to the coated surface. --Emily Wolf
