Very disappointed & no longer used
It's the right size and I wish more bakeware companies made these smaller sizes because the "normal" size pans don't fit in our convection oven and we can't use glass or that plastic stuff. It's hard to find smaller size metal bakeware. But this one, and all the others with a non-stick surface, become useless after 2 or 3 uses--the non-stick surface starts to flake off (onto the food cooked in it) which is not healthy for you. And we don't have a dishwasher so it can't be blamed on that machine. We use the teflon-friendly utensils etc. but the stuff still flakes off. The manufacturers ought to just give up on the non-stick stuff and let us have plain ol' stainless steel--at least it's tough and can withstand scouring when needed, you can ... Read More
My Nordic Ware Compact Oven 1-1/2-Quart Casserole Pan Review....
I use my toaster oven almost daily so am always on the hunt for good pans to use in it. But this time when I went on the hunt I wanted a "covered" pan for my little oven. I quickly found they do not exist like they do for my big oven so I decided to make one.
This pan, the Nordic Ware Compact Oven 1-1/2-Quart Casserole Pan, was perfect for one of the pieces. I purchased two of them. (My research led me to another pan here on Amazon... The Chicago Metallic Duncan Hines Toaster Oven Pan. I also ordered two of those.) When the 4 pans arrived I did a test fit and they fit together almost as if they were made to even though they were from totally different manufacturers. One pan's lip fits inside the other pan's lip making a decently ... Read More
What a great little pan!
I love this little pan! I read the previous reviews before I purchased this pan. I almost didn't get it because of all the negative reviews. Thank goodness I did! It was very very inexpensive so either way, I wouldn't be out by too much. I have used this pan every day for over a week and have had no problems with it. The non-stick coating works great and doesn't peel off. It's non-stick, so there is no need to use anything other than a sponge or washcloth... Those using SOS pads or steel wool don't know how to care for their cookware. This is a perfect pan for anyone wanting to bake in a toaster oven or even just wanting to bake for a small amount of people.
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.
