KitchenAid Nonstick 9" x 13" Sheet Cake Pan

I LOVE to bake, so my pans endure a lot of use and abuse. I typically have to replace my 9x13 pans every 4 years because of the amount of scratches and marring on them, something that shouldn't happen to pans (in my opinion). I purchased this pan almost 3 years ago and loved it until 8 months ago, when the amount of scratches on it seemed ridiculous (unlike the one I purchased at the same time, which doesn't have one scratch...the Faberware Soft Touch Cake Pan)! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the shape, which seems to make it easier to remove food from the pan; I have never had to grease this pan as the food comes out cleanly and smoothly. Everything bakes evenly, too. I really wanted to love this pan and write a positive review, but it shouldn't be covered with scratches after only 2 years, especially when I normally use silicone spatulas to remove food and never use knives.

I bake and cook quite often but I'm careful with both the use and care of maintaining my bakeware and cookware. I actually
have used this pan only moderately within the 6 years I've had it. I also line it with parchment paper or aluminum foil to
preserve the life of the pan. I hand wash it, rarely have run it through the dishwasher even though it is promoted to be
dishwasher safe. It has accumulated some rust to my dismay. I've only ever used utensils that are safe to use with non-stick
surfaces. Here's the thing: In spite of ALL these safe precautions, this Kitchenaid pan has failed on all fronts with major
scratching and the non-stick coating is coming up really badly and can easily be scratched off! AND the scratches began
showing up after about 4-5 uses. I could not believe it!

I'm very disappointed with this brand. I expected way better with my meticulous care and use of these Kitchenaid bakeware pans.

It worked well for a little while, but the non-stick quickly started to come off, and left this pan useless.
