Recent purchases, those as of March 2014, does this Nordic Ware aluminum pan include a metal lid? What bout metal gauge? How do brownies turn out?

The cover is a light guage aluminum. Don't know about brownies, it is a good pan.

No doesn't include a set of aluminum pans. I bought a set of aluminum bread pans from Walmart. Been working great for me.

The pan is definitely made of aluminum. I still have the packaging that came around the pan because it has recipes on the inside of it. it says on the packaging made of aluminum for even cooking throughout. This pan has been awesome.

Sorry - I answered it wrong the first time. The inner layer is steel. The base is also magnetic steel - it works well on induction. You will be cooking in steel - I do not use aluminum either.

The lid is plastic and not oven proof. There is no non stick coating in the pan but it cleans like a dream. I have made both lasagna and roasted a prime rib roast in it and I had no problem cleaning the pan. I would highly recommend this pan.

I've used this set of Chicago Metallic pans, all the way to 450 degrees baking, with no problem, do use the 500 setting on broil, to brown the tops of cornbread, or biscuits? I've had other Pans by this same Co., for at least 25ys., although they are a little heavier, than this set, still no problem, whatsoever? I Enjoy this great brand of pan! I usually do biscuits on 450 degrees all the time, and have used these several mo.'s now, and no discoloration, or warping! Hope this was helpful!

it didn't mention at all on the box. It seems a cheap thin stainless steel or aluminum. I just used once after bought. It is not good at all. Bread dough came out from both sides of the lid while baking. That mean the lid not firm enough !

The interior is stainless steel -- 100% as far as I can tell. It does not have a non-stick surface. I do not think there is any aluminum in the lid or touching the food. It comes with a steamer/basket, which I think is stainless, as well.

It is my understanding that Revere Ware pans are made of stainless steel with a copper bottom. I simply would not know if they have any aluminum in them. You would have to contact the manufacturer.

I have found stainless to brown very nicely. Aluminum is more porous and sticks worse in some cases. I am presuming you are referring to aluminum as opposed to stainless steel. If you try to brown with flour this will cause sticking with either one. Use your rack after browning and add your thickening of a flour mixture after everything else is done and simmer for about 10 more minutes so you will not have the raw taste of flour. Enjoy your cooker.

I was about to order this pan and saw this question. I have about ten Cuisinart MultiClad pots and pants that I've purchased over an eight year period and have not experienced any issues to include the metal. I've gone from cooktop to 475 degree oven with some and have had no problems of any kind.

It's all stainless steel, no aluminum. The outside bottom of the pan has a thick layer of stainless steel to prevent food from burning.

I can tell you that it is a very well built pan, similar to commercial vs. home use and it makes great buns. I have read that there is some discussion about aluminum leeching into food but aluminum still accounts for about 50% of the pots and pans used and sold in the industry. If there is steel in this product, it is difficult to see.

There's no reason you can't experiment with it. I just baked brownies in mine and they turned out great. It's basically just a wedge-shaped baking dish so you can put whatever you'd bake in a dish in this pan and expect similar results. Baking time will probably be slightly less since this pan holds in heat much better than aluminum or glass. Be creative, there's not reason you can't use it for whatever you like.

The lid is stainless steel, NOT transparent. All-Clad is the BEST cookware I have used in over 50 years of cooking!

I have not used my pan with liners; I sprayed the brownie pan w/ a baking spray. That worked very well for me. I've used it about 6-7 times so far. No problems.

I have used glass to cook in it. Usually brownies and baking at normal temps like 325-350. Brownies turn out great!!!
