In all our tests, it kept both frozen and refrigerated foods as fresh as disposable wraps did. The lid bowed slightly when we stacked heavy items on it but not enough to touch food on the sheet, and it didn't crack or warp. Our one criticism: The lid latches onto the sheet in two places, along the short edges. This was sufficient, but the lid would have felt much more secure if it attached on all four sides.Materials: Tempered glass, stainless steel, phenolic plastic Diameter: 12 Oven Safe to: 400°F Dishwasher Safe: Yes, but hand-washing preferred Weight: 1.8 lbsWinnerKnapp Made Small Ring CM ScrubberCleanupPerformanceManeuverabilityThe Small Ring Scrubber effortlessly removed cooked-on bacon and hamburger from cast iron and lasagna from our 13 by 9-inch baking dish. This scrubber’s larger size allowed it to cover more area efficiently, and we especially appreciated its fine rings, which scoured narrow grill pan grooves with ease. The smaller rings did, however, make this scrubber harder to clean.
