Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sheet Pan Quarter Size- 9-1/2" x 13" Med. Duty, 16 GaugeCustomer Review: Near-perfect pan for just about anything! Summary: 5 Stars
Though it isn't quite as beastly as the heavy-duty, 13 gauge 5314 half sheet model by Wear-Ever (Vollrath/Lincoln Foodservice or whatever imprint the company is currently using), the 16 gauge 5220 quarter sheet is the real workhorse of my kitchen.
I love my half sheets but I'm generally only cooking for myself and my wife, and for the two of us this quarter sheet does the job. Even when I'm preparing a larger meal I find myself reaching for two quarter sheets instead of a half most of the time. They're an easier size to clean and also allow me to easily place one pan in the oven after something else has been cooking for awhile so that they're finishing right around the same time. In fact, it's the versatility and convenience of this pan that inspired me to write this review. Since yesterday alone I've used a single quarter sheet to roast maple glazed bacon for breakfast, a variety of root vegetables for lunch, and some pork for dinner. Then I pulled it out of the dish rack at the end of the night to use as a tray for oiling some of my wooden spoons and a small bread board overnight. I honestly think that these things are out of my cupboards more often than they're in them; a sure sign of a well designed tool.
When I first purchased this quarter sheet I was worried that the medium gauge would mean a greater possibility of warping, but thus far I haven't had any problems along these lines. I'd imagine the smaller size of this pan balances out the medium gauge and makes up for the large surface areas that would warp without the heavy gauge in the 5314 half sheet. Though I'm pretty rough with mine, all of the damage I've seen so far is cosmetic, meaning that they aren't going to win any beauty contests but they still work perfectly. So if the aesthetics of your cookware is the most important factor in your decision here, don't buy them. However, anybody interested in a good cooking tool should be happy.
The pans measure a true external dimension of 9 1/2" x 13" and are a solid inch deep with an internal foot measuring 8 1/4" x 11 3/4". Exactly as it should be with a quarter sheet, the only downside to this is that I have yet to find a manufacturer that makes a grid that will fit inside these dimensions stably. For now I'm using an 8" x 10" rack that slides around a bit more than I'd like, but if anybody out there has any suggestions don't be shy about commenting!
The only criticism I can possibly levy against this pan is that it has a closed bead. This may be a trade-off due to the medium gauge, but I really do think that an open bead is necessary for sanitary purposes. I clean these quarter sheets thoroughly, but am always a little disappointed by the little bits of water that sometimes leak from the bead hours after they have been washed if I didn't have an opportunity to oven dry them.
Aside from this one small concern, I couldn't be happier with this pan. In a kitchen filled with high end merchandise from companies like All-Clad, Calphalon, J. K. Adams and the like, the equipment that I've bought from a local restaurant supply distributor frequently stands out. And of these, this $12 pan has proven to be an indispensable addition.
