Literally JUST picked up my Nordic Ware at Target.. but not before first watching their October 2016 review! I always consult the Test Kitchen first! 💁🏽♀️
Would have liked to see them sit something heavier on the racks. Also is there any issue with just getting racks form Nordic?
The Checkered Chef Cooling Racks have three supports and not the Liberty Ware, which has two supports.
Odd that your pictures show using parchment paper??????????
Just what I needed; perfect examples in black and white
Cooling rack that lay slanted are annoying
IM LOSING MY MIND! HOW can they suggest a rack that doesnt fit and then say it fits perfectly? Is his last name TRUMP? Sometimes i wonder how much they care about testing compared to their income from sales. Just sometimes… Anyway I wish I knew which kind mine were because i need more and mine DO fit perfectly WOW Unreal
I’m stuck with a 24 inch oven, so I went with NordicWare and Libertyware quarter-size…not gonna lie, they’re amazing, alone ore combined.
I looked and it does not look like the racks come with the sheet pans like they said.
The reviews of the Libertyware racks are terrible! Can you please do another test for racks and I’d love to buy stainless steel baking sheets. Maybe test those as well, please.

Lisa M., the ATK guru gadget lady, did a very similar episode in Oct. 2016. 👊
Where is the link for cooling racks?
"Houndstooth pattern"
Several minutes pass
OH HE MEANT HERRINGBONE
I bought 2 nordicware half sheets from Target about 10 years ago. I think they were maybe $10 each. I have used the crap out of them. I use them daily and I use them for everything!!! 👌
I dont think you tested the new model for the nordicware pan… because the one you showed in the video doesn’t have the label at the top but the one they produce now have the label "nordic ware"….
Would you mind posting a link for the cooling rack?
I like the lady best when she reviews. This guys voice is jarring
Question, will you ever do a loaf pan review? I’ve loved your winner’s so far.
Why……would anyone/roast …..parsnips ???
I bought both of these based on your recommendation and they are truly the best. Work great for anything and way easy to clean. My racks are similar but actually fit the pans. WINNER!!
It fits perfectly.. IT WAS A BARGAIN!
I expected more rimming.
love these test videos, thanks
I am sending a baking gift set with baking sheets and a cooling rack. I want to send the best. Where do I go for that information? America’s Test Kitchen…. Only ATK. Such good testing and explanations. Thanks again!
The number 1 pick is made from aluminum though and I have heard that aluminum can leach into the food.
Vollrath is the best, though Nordicware is pretty good. I have both
Why is it ok to use alumin(i)um here when most cooks dont like alumin(i)um pans to cook?
25 or more years ago, after many warps, I found 2 half sheets by Polar Ware (USA) that are my permanents. Can’t find more than a 1/4 sheet. Now I scour thrift stores — recently found a 1/3 sheet by Pampered Chef –of solid material which I’ve used a few times already and it is indestructible. Nothing is made any good anymore. We all know it.
Everybody appreciates a nice rack, but that cooling rack has roughly 1,200 individual squares, each of which must be cleaned after cooking your sticky BBQ pork. I prefer racks with parallel "bars" in just one direction, which are much easier to clean.
My local Ralph’s store has these on super sale right now. I think when they are so inexpensive judgement drops and you just use and enjoy.
So glad to have found this channel. Really enjoying your videos!
Is the liberty cooling grid the GRA4 (chrome plated) or the GRA4-SS (Stainless steel)? (Or GRA2/GRA2-SS)?
I can’t find the cooling rack and there’s no link to it. Where can I find it??? Anyone know?
I have two of those half sheet pans with the lines on them and I have ordered two of the Nordic Ware bakers have sheet. I will still continue to use my others because they work just fine. 🙂
Any suggestions on pure stainless steel baking/ roasting pans? After many years of trying many different types, I conclude that they are the only type of pan I want.
How about Polar Ware baking sheets? I got them from Sams club
After trying both Nordic Ware and Tiger Chef pans, I noticed that the Nordic Ware half-sheet pan cover fit the Tiger Chef pan much better than the Nordic Ware pan, which was also more expensive. So I bought more Tiger Chef pans and Nordic Ware pan covers. I also agree with their choice of rack and have several of those as well.
Please recommend one tray and rack combo coming in at max $3….we ain’t all rich I’m afraid! 😆
Love it when the OGs are on.
Nordic Ware baker’s sheet is made in aluminum. Sorry, not using aluminum to cook.
Did you test how rust-proof the racks were? My last one rusted at its solder points, I would like to avoid that or know what I did wrong and how to effectively clean them after use, please.
those cooling racks look like a nightmare to clean
I have the Nordicware and can say they are very well built; however, ATK’s choice in wire rack is weird. Yes it’s oven safe but according to the company’s specs it’s chromed. You can find 18/8 304 stainless that is oven/broiler save for about the same price.
Nordic ware half sheet: $14.97 in the US, $46.98 in Australia
Can these be scrubbed with SOS pads or a thicker metal thread – type scrub pad without destroying their surface? I also think that the cooling rack does not fit perfectly. A roast could slide off that, as someone mentioned further down.
Where is link to libertyware
"Hound’s tooth pattern"? It’s Herringbone.
I’m not sure if their rack is 304 stainless. I use Kitchenatics cooling rack and they are 100% 304 stainless steel, dishwasher-safe and grilling safe. I have used mine for 2 years now and still looks good as new! Doesn’t rust too! You can check out their website : https://kitchenatics.com/shop-now/ for the products. 🙂
WHERE do you buy the liberty ware half sheet cooling rack from???
I love your reviews, please can you review oven gloves etc for taking cast iron out of the hottest ovens. Jesse in the UK
