Nordic Ware Traditional Cookie Sheet, 15.75 by 14 Inch

Another Quality Nordic Ware Cookie Sheet...
The Nordic Ware Traditional Cookie Sheet, 13.5 X 14, is an excellent choice for those baking in today's better insulated, 30-inch ovens. I purchased this item after finding that my older, large AirBake cookie sheets went completely from front-to-back, if placed so the raised lip could be grabbed, in my new oven.

I set it down to cool and watched, amazed, as it writhed for almost a minute, flexing and snapping back, flexing and snapping back. I had the cookies on parchment paper due to the scratches, and they were actually bouncing around.

It has completely cooled overnight, and is now about 3mm out of plane. One use at a low temperature, and it's permanently warped.

I really wanted a flat aluminum cookie sheet, and took a bit of a leap on this one. It didn't specify the metal thickness anywhere in the product description, although several other reviewers describe...
