The Nordic Ware Naturals Big Batch Baker is quite popular for handling large baking tasks with its sturdy construction.
If you're curious about its size, the manufacturer says it's about 15 by 21 inches. That's pretty spacious, whether you're baking up a storm of cookies or roasting lots of veggies.
One thing to note is that it's not dishwasher-friendly. Because this pan is made of aluminum, dishwashers might be too harsh for it, with the detergents and heat potentially causing it to corrode or get damaged over time.
Our research suggests that hand washing it with warm, soapy water is the way to go.
Also, aluminum is great for even heat distribution, but it does react to acidic foods like tomatoes or vinegar. Leaving these on the pan for too long might cause discoloration or some pitting.
So, it's best to clean the pan soon after cooking.
Overall, if you treat it with care by sticking to hand washing and drying it thoroughly, the Big Batch Baker should last a long time and serve you well in the kitchen.
