I haven't used this sheet pan yet, but it is definitely heavy-duty, restaurant quality. Arrived quickly.
Hasn't warped at all! August 11, 2008

I put off buying this for over a year because of the reviewers who said theirs warped during the first use. I'm glad I finally bought one. I have broiled with it several times now and it works great. No problems whatsoever.
This Item is WEAR-EVER #5314 Half-Sheet Pan August 8, 2008

WEAR-EVER #5314 = 17" x 12-7/8" 1" [NSF rated] Natural (shiny) Finish, 13-gauge AA3004 Aluminum, with an OPEN BEAD surround (i.e., there is a lip but not a "rolled" edge bead surround).
The WEAR-EVER Part Number is stamped into the metal on the underside of every pan.
Take care not to confuse this item with the quite similar: WEAR-EVER #5303 = 17" x 12-7/8" 1" Natural (shiny) Finish, 18-gauge AA3003 Aluminum, with CLOSED BEAD surround (i.e., a "rolled edge" with a galvanized steel wire-bead insert)... #5303 is a fine pan, itself, but somewhat lighter in weight (and with the rolled bead, arguably more ergonomic). The type #5303 is a Half-Sheet Pan which usually sells for a few dollars less than the heavier, NSF-rated WEAR-EVER #5314.
WEAR-EVER also make a #S5303 variant (with a Wear-Guard coating), costing almost twice as much; as well as a #5303P variant (perforated); and they also make a MUCH lighter-weight, 19-gauge #9303 "economy" variant, which costs only half as much as the Half-Sheet Pan pictured here.
The "Cooking Rack - CIA Masters Collection" is an ideal accessory for these pans, as is the "Silpat 11-5/8-by-16-1/2-Inch Nonstick Silicone Baking Mat", or equivalent, sold separately here on AMAZON, and elsewhere.
fwiw... Baking Pans are usually bought, and often used in pairs; regardless of Part Number / variant they are all stackable, one inside another; and personally, in my modest home kitchen I found one #5314 Heavy-Duty and one #5303 Standard Pan, along with one nice cooking/cooling rack and a silicone mat accessory to be the ideal set solution.

I bought this pan with the understanding that it would withstand high heat, up to 500 degrees without warping. First time I used it in a 450 degree oven, I heard the ping of warping coming from within. Very disappointing.....
Love these! Every kitchen should have them April 9, 2008
These are classy, tough, sheet pans. The narrow raised edges add functionality as well as structural support. These pans do not warp or buckle. And they fit in my smaller size oven too.
