I emailed several questions as I was deciding which size sheet pan to order as well as a few questions about the product. I received responses from DEI very quickly. They were very helpful. At the end, I wasn’t sure whether this size would fit in my oven because of the flare of the rim. I called and the gentleman left the phone to measure the width at the flare. I ordered 2 of these baking sheets and they fit in our oven perfectly. rnrnWe have baked pita bread in them as well as roasting vegetables in just the short time we have had them and are absolutely thrilled with our purchase. Blue steel pans are available at a number of other sources but DEI had the best price and their customer service was over the top!
