1.0 out of 5 stars Thin Sheets That Curl and Buckle in the Oven - YUK!, October 15, 2006

This review is from: Calphalon Classic Bakeware 14-by-17-Inch Cookie Sheets 2-Pack (Kitchen)
I ordered 3 (2x) sets of these so that I would have a full complement of 6 cookie sheets.

When they arrived, I noted that they were a bit lighter than the commercial quality cookie sheets that I had used previously, but my thinking was that if they baked well, that was all that counted. I always bake with an Exopat silicone mat on my sheets.

Upon the first use, when they were placed in the oven, the edges of the cookie sheets turned up about a quarter of an inch - an ominous sign that the sheets are too thin. The next thing I heard was the tap tap tap of sheets buckling in the oven. Lack of dimensional stability at 350 degrees F translates to poor heat conduction, and burned cookie bottoms. This symphony of metal buckling, courtesy of my new cookie sheets.

Even with the Exopat silicone sheets on them, the cookies were barely done when I decided to pull them from the oven to save the bottoms from getting burned - typical of cheap, thin cookie sheets that one knows one needs to "double pan" to prevent burning. What a wonderful situation Amazon has presented me with - and a garbage can full of cookie sheets.

Yes, into the garbage all six sheets went - no matter how costly, its even more so to live with poor quality baking implements and invent work-arounds to augment their performance. These are no better than inexpensive supermarket cookie sheets - actually they're worse - with the price-point of supermarket wares, one can infer the quality that one is getting.

I used to believe brands like Calphalon stood for quality, and this translated into some assurance that products bearing premium names would be of, at least, mezzanine quality. When I buy on the web and cannot better scrutinize the items I'm choosing, I tend to favor trusted brands. As it turns out, these sheets did not have the Calphalon name on them anywhere - Calphalon apparently made the decision to buy up a bunch of cheap -Made in China- cookie sheets and sell them at a premium price by leveraging the Calphalon brand.

With the holiday baking season upon us, what do I plan to replace them with? The Vollrath cookie sheets (not non-stick, but I use silicone mats, so do I care?) recommended in Cooks Illustrated magazine. They're in stock at Chef Resource - their price everywhere is but most vendors are out of them. They're due to arrive via UPS day after tomorrow - Tuesday, 10/17. Holiday baking is much too sacred a tradition to be left in the hands of Calphalon, apparently.

If I could give them no stars or provide an icon of 6 sheets going into the trash, I would so rate them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cookie Sheets, October 22, 2008

This review is from: Calphalon Classic Bakeware 14-by-17-Inch Cookie Sheets 2-Pack (Kitchen)
I bought these as a replacement for a set , from another brand , that were awful , they did all the bad things that a prior reviewer spoke of buckling etc.

Prior to this , I had owned a professional collectors version of this set . After 5 years of heavy use and some abuse , it was time to replace them . I couldn't find the same set, they don't make them any more . I went with the lesser brand and was very disappointed.

This set works great , I made a batch of cookies tonight , they cooked evenly , the sheet was stable and clean up was a snap. My only bug-a-boo with this set is is has Calphalon in big raised letters on the cooking side of the sheet , right smack in the middle ... I don't like the thought of one of my cookies being labeled lol so I used one of my silicone baking mats on top of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy-duty cookie sheets, February 3, 2008

This review is from: Calphalon Classic Bakeware 14-by-17-Inch Cookie Sheets 2-Pack (Kitchen)
I'm surprised to read the previous review, because I just had that experience with a different cookie sheet, one that got great reviews from most people. I've owned my Calphalon sheets for a few years now, and they are solid, heavy-duty sheets that have never warped in my oven (and I bake scones every week at 425o in a convection oven).

I like that the 17" length makes them big enough to hold a 15"-wide sheet of parchment paper without having to fold or trim it. The two unrimmed edges make it easy to prepare items on a sheet of parchment and then just slide the sheet underneath it. The one thing I don't like is that the nonstick coating is pretty slippery... if you turn your pans end-to-end midway through a bake, you have to be careful to keep the parchment and baked goods from slipping off the pan.

I'm still confused as to why my experience is so different from Brian's... but the Calphalon sheets get two thumbs up from me.
