"FOUR pans and FOUR lids !"
The price for this item is for a SET OF FOUR pans and FOUR lids. Check the acehardwareoutlet site, and you will see what I mean. I plan to keep two and incorporate two into holiday gifts. Arrived well packaged and in a timely manner.

Shipping was cheaper through Amazon. But the price of the item has increased from $27.99 to $34.99 in less than a week.

"Medium Weight - Lids do not survive shipping well"
Someone complained about the pans being very thin (I remember that T-Fal had thin frying & sauce pans when they debuted and may still). I guess that is the kind of cake pans I have had for 30 years and NEVER HAD A PROBLEM (cakes, brownies, etc.). Anyway, since I did buy a very thick set from Nordic Ware recently, Nordic Ware 3-Piece Baker's Quarter Sheet and Cake Pan Combo Pack with Lid now I know what the reviewer was referring to. I had only had thick cookie sheets and really thick bun pans before but not 9" X 13" cake pans.

The only problem I see is that shipping with the lids on the pans instead of being placed under them, mine got scraped and dented by each other. I had two shipped in the same box by the Amazon Marketplace seller. Better packing would solve that (and I did get a discount for the damage to my lids).

"Aluminum cake pans"
Item is very nice, but packing was not good. One of the pans got dented during shipping.

"Mother's Day gift"
My mom, my daughter-in-law and I all have one of these pans. My mother's pan wore out so she needed a new one. We're all happy with the purchase. The shipping charges were outrageous, IMHO.

"What A Great Cake Pan"
We have used this pan for so many things, from cakes to casseroles. We have used it so much over the years I think we have worn holes in it! We love using the lid as a cookie sheet. Great for those personal frozen pizzas, fish sticks, or a half batch of cookies; anything that might be too small for a big ole' regular sized cookie sheet. Though it does not need it, we line it with foil before we cook and there is no clean up afterwards.

I love that after our family has a casserole for dinner, I can put the leftovers in the fridge and stack stuff on top of it. This also is great for taking places as your food does not get squashed.

We did not feel it was cheap quality. Our food cooked evenly and we have never noticed any funny taste from the aluminum seeping in to our food. In fact I am going to order 2 more. Our favorite food to cook in this is Pumpkin Pie Cake. Yum! Cheers!
