Customer Reviews

A great fit for countertop ovens
I have a countertop microwave convection oven, and this item is a great fit. THE PAN: While the pan was designed to catch any juices/excess oil from roasting, the pan may be used on its own as it is deep enough for making oven fries, roasting vegetables, making lasagna. THE RACK: The rack can fit one medium sized chicken, or two cornish hens side by side. The height of the rack is just right; it is high enough to let the hot air circulate underneath the item being cooked (e.g. reheating slices of pizza or deep fried foods), but it still has some clearance below the flange of the outer pan to minimize spatters outside the pan. I'm very happy with this item.

Finally the perfect toaster oven pan!
I have spent a really long time looking for a decent pan for my Cuisinart Convection Oven. They were either too big or too small or too flimsy. I trust the Chicago Metallic quality, having many of their oven pans purchased from high end gourmet retailers. This two piece set includes a multi-use grill. The pan is a good heavyweight; the non-stick finish is sturdy (unless you take a knife to it, why would you do that?) and easy to clean. Highly recommend this set.

A nice piece of metal
This is a nice piece of metal, not a flimsy piece of junk. I use it with the rack for broiling in my toaster oven. I like the depth because it contains lateral splatters. It cleans easily, however, it might be a good idea to spray Pam in it before use.

UPDATE, July 2009: After four months of use I notice signs of rusting at the bottom of the pan. If I had used Pam from the very beginning this might not have occurred. Also, I don't know if washing it in the dishwasher might have prompted the rusting. I contacted the Chicago Metallic Company. Here is what they told me:

"While there are consumer pans that bear the brand name 'Chicago Metallic' there is only one Chicago Metallic that carries the Bundy Eagle and offers pans that are made exclusively in the USA. Our pans represent the industry's highest standards for quality, service and durability and we are sure that after you use our pans there will be no doubt as to which Chicago Metallic you prefer.

"The Chicago Metallic Nonstick Petite Broil & Roast Pan is not made by us. It is made in China by Focus Products, Inc. We sold them the rights to use our name back in '04."

I was quite surprised to hear their admission. I mean, what do we have here? A license to deceive the public? They are allowing another company to use their good name whether or not that company produces the same quality merchandise which you and I have come to expect. I would have been very upset were it not for the low price of the item in question.

Nonetheless, I contacted Focus Products and was told the following: "This pan is not supposed to rust, but if you are using 'hard water' there could be a problem. The pan is dishwasher safe, but make sure that it is situated upside down in your machine so that there won't be any standing water in the pan during or after the drying cycle."

Note: the superintendent of my building says that we do not have hard water. He suggests that I use the dishwasher's "Quick Wash" cycle instead of the "Heavy Duty" cycle that I had been using.

I know you might be wondering why I don't just wash it by hand, but it's easier for me to dump it all (pan and rack) into the dishwasher and be rid of it. If I have to replace this combo every four months I still find it worth the price; that is, until I can find something better. Meanwhile, I'd change my five star rating to something lower if I had a second chance.
