Sheet Pans Washing Woes - Don't Let It Happen To You!

[merego]

Is anyone having issues with there sheet pans looking nasty after they have been washed a few times?? I use my sheet pans ( I have 2) all the time and they are not holding up well in the dishwasher. They are starting to look like they did when we had the issue with them the 1st time around. They are discolored and look like acid was thrown on them:cry::cry:
They work fine, but I have had som many people order these lately and hope they don't have the same problems.

I wash mine by hand so can't help you there. I am wondering- was there any change in the second ones so we can tell them apart (before they discolor)? I have been doing so much baking I was using both my old ones and the new ones- now I don't know which are which or if there is a difference..

AH HA.. Discolor was the word I was looking for but couldn't think of when I was typing.
They say dishwasher safe, but I am wondering if I should be handwashing them.

I've washed mine several times in the dishwasher, in fact I've never washed them by hand and have never had a problem. I did have a host who made some kind of chicken wings on it and the sauce stained her's reddish. I emailed test kitchen about it and they said that anything acidic can cause it to discolor.I keep forgetting to grease them up! I stuck some parmesan chicken breasts to them forgetting they aren't like stoneware.

My 2nd batch is doing good - I have a few. Only one of the batch has any discoloring and that was because "someone" in my house scratched it bad with a metal spatula. It it only discoloring where the finish came off. My rest go in the dishwasher all the time and look great.My original one with the problem looks horrid - I won't use it anymore.

WOW i was going to post today about mine becoming discolored. I've used it twice (just for cookies) and i've only washed it by hand and its like the finish is coming off right on the sponge! My hands turned black and the next things i washed with the sponge tured black. The sheet pan is now like blackis in certain spots. I might try cleaning it again and then i'm gonna put in for a new one. It just looks bad. I can't bring it to shows looking like that.

I was astounded (and quite pleased) that my large one didn't discolor with what my dad used it for at Thanksgiving. He used it to roast a large turkey breast, then used it directly on the burners to make gravy from the drippings that were stuck on. I was truly astounded that it held up to that, and I wanted to tell him that I didn't think that they were intended to be used in that way, but it worked, and you can't even tell he did it. It was washed by hand afterward, though.

My sister has had issues twice now with her new ones but mine are still looking fine. I think she uses hers more than I do but it is still extremely frustrating!

Mere, is it one from the first batch that were defective; or is it one of the newer ones?
