Non-Stick Interior Flaked off after 1st use
I was so happy to find this pan because I needed something to replace the pan that came with my toaster oven. Unfortunately, after one use I was not so happy. The non-stick coating came off in sections. I washed it by hand, using gentle dishwashing liquid, so it should not have happened. After seeing the flaking, I'm afraid the non-stick coating will come off onto the food I'm cooking, so I haven't used it since without lining it with aluminum foil. I have quite a bit of Nordic Ware and I'm really disappointed that they would put out such a shabby product.
Newly purchased - as expected
It hasn't stood the test of time but we are pleased that the pan performs as promised.
Dependable toaster oven baking pan
I was without a regular oven for over 3 months while remodeling my kitchen, and learned a lot about toaster oven cooking in that time. This NordicWare pan works very well for baking half a cake mix at a time. After 7 mixes (14 uses) and a couple of small lasagnas it's still in great shape. I used butter flavor Crisco to grease the pan for each cake, only nylon spatulas to remove the food, and nothing but a soft sponge and soapy water to clean the pan. (I *definitely* didn't use any of those incredibly abrasive Scotch-Brite sponges.) After reading other reviews I was worried about durability and was extra cautious. In any event this little pan is still good as new. I'm probably going to continue to use it during the hot summer months so ... Read More
Toaster Oven Casserole Pan
This is an excellent pan to use in the toaster oven to cook meats, small casseroles, etc. I use it to oven fry chicken, or steaks. It is the perfect size to bake chicken breasts, stew beef for two, or meat and vegetables. The non-stick surface cleans well. This is my second one, and I use it practically every day. The price was extremely reasonable and the product will last a long time.
Non-stick coating peels again
My widowed mother-in-law badly needed a pan to use in her toaster oven and was delighted when I found this little Nordic Ware casserole pan; it was the perfect size. Within a month, however, the black non-stick coating began to peel in dime-size circles. She never puts anything in her dishwasher and is a diligent rule-follower -- I know this was not something she caused. I have no doubt Bed, Bath & Beyond will replace it, but it doesn't look like there are any other choices. I would much prefer to buy her something heavier and well made without a non-stick coating. We'll see.
Customers, be forewarned....Nordic Ware, hopefully you are addressing what appears to be a problem!
