Why is it a good Black Friday deal?

According to our price trackers, this is the lowest the set has ever been on sale for — you're saving nearly 50%. Take it from me, Nordic Ware sheet trays can handle a lot, so you likely won't need replacements for a looong time. And the fact that you're getting three trays for just $27 is pretty remarkable.

Why do I need this?

Before I started writing about kitchen products for a living, I was a professional baker, and one thing I've learned? Not all sheet trays are created equal. Some are too flimsy, some don't heat evenly, some warp — but I've never run into any of those issues with Nordic Ware.

Made of pure aluminum, these trays offer excellent, even heat for consistent results every time. Plus, they never rust and are reinforced with encapsulated galvanized steel rims to keep them from warping — the bane of baking.

I use Nordic Ware half sheet trays at home, but I've already got this set in my cart, thanks to its versatility. You can never have too many half sheets for large roasts and bakes, while quarter sheet trays are perfect when you're cooking for two. And as for the jelly roll pan, it'll come in handy for holiday yule log cakes or heating up small quantities of food.

What reviewers say

Over 41,000 Amazon customers have given these Nordic Ware sheet trays a perfect rating.

"First off, I have to say these are the strongest, most durable baking pans I've ever used," raved one satisfied shopper. "You pick one up, and it's hard to tell if it's a baking pan or a knight's shield. These are so thick and durable! I'd heard of Nordic Ware before, but never thought much about it. Now that I have it, I am absolutely sold. Even under a broiler, there's absolutely no warping or twisting."

"Best I ever owned," gushed another happy home cook. "These are lifetime pans, and the heat distribution is incredible. I used to use nonstick gray pans and my cookies were never done right, either raw on top and burned on bottom, or done on top and burned on bottom. My cookies have risen to a new level, perfect on top and bottom. It has to be the pans, as nothing else changed."

"After my last few cookie sheets would bend at 350 degrees-plus, I researched these, and they have delivered," wrote a final fan. "I wish they were dishwasher safe, but a small tradeoff for their performance." (Psst: These No.1 bestselling nonstick baking mats make cleanup a breeze.)

Psst: Wrap this set in a bow and it makes a great gift for your favorite cook.
