Start using them. Grab a sheet pan instead of stoneware so you can tell your customers about your results.I used my large one last night for tater tots and they turned out awesome and did not stick. I use my medium one all the time for bagel bites and french bread pizzas for lunch. I've used the large one for broiling as well and it was perfect.I haven't tried cookies yet, but that's next on my list!

Warning---I put mine in the oven side by side with a stone when I did the berries 'n stars at a show. Thought I'd be smart and show how they both cooked. The stone had the base & the sheet pan had the stars. When I took them out the pastry on the stone was perfect, the stars were deep brown. :yuck: Wasn't exactly the results I was hoping for. I'm sure they would have been fine, had I taken them out sooner.
My replacement pans both had dents in them.:grumpy:

I was skeptical at first, but now I actually like them. I still use my stones primarily, but when I want to broil veggies or something like that, it's nice to have a good quality sheet pan.
When I take one to a show, I ask everyone to visualize their cookie sheets. If they are anything like mine were, they are rusty in places and warped. I ask them if they have ever walked out of the kitchen and hear a "pop!" come from the oven....when they start laughing I ask them what the pop was. They all know it's their cookie sheet warping in the oven. Then I pass around the cookie sheet so they can feel the weight, and let them know they are restaurant quality, heavy duty pans with a 3 year guarantee.
Also, some people shy away from the stoneware because they think that it is too heavy, too breakable, or they don't want to have wash it. The metal pans are lighter, compared to the stoneware bar pan, and are dishwasher safe.
