Farberware Nonstick Bakeware Baking Pan With Lid / Nonstick Cake Pan With Lid, Rectangle - 9 Inch x 13 Inch, Gray
Is this Farberware 9x13 baking pan with a lid the right choice for brownies, sheet cakes and casseroles you need to carry or store?
If you want one everyday 9x13 pan that releases sticky bakes easily and comes with a cover for potlucks or leftovers, this Farberware is the practical pick. Its nonstick interior and oven-safe-to-450°F pan suit brownies, cakes and casseroles, while the lid is for carrying and storage—not baking. I’d choose it for convenience, then hand-wash it and keep knives and metal utensils away from the coating. If long-term use without a nonstick coating matters more than easy release, the Nordic Ware is the alternative to look at.

Will the lid protect a frosted cake on the way to a potluck?
The cover gives you a more useful way to carry and store a cake than balancing foil over the top, but don’t assume it has room for tall frosting or decorations. For a level sheet cake, keep the topping modest and check the clearance before decorating; for tall swirls, choose a high-dome carrier with known clearance. Set the covered pan on a flat surface during the drive rather than relying on it to stay upright.
Is nonstick the right finish for brownies and casseroles?
Yes, especially if you want bar cookies and cheesy edges to release without a long soak. The trade is that nonstick needs gentler handling than bare metal: use silicone, wood or plastic tools, and lift brownies out before cutting them. A knife or metal spatula against the pan is the shortcut that turns an easy-release surface into a scratched one.
Can this pan go in a hot oven, and what about the lid?
The pan is oven safe to 450°F, so a 400°F roast or casserole is within its stated range. Remove the lid before baking; it is not intended for oven use. Metal pans can flex as they heat and cool, so use a level rack and let the pan settle before moving it rather than giving it a sudden temperature change.
How do you keep a nonstick 9 by 13 pan easy to clean?
Let the pan cool, then wash it by hand with a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Skip abrasive pads, metal scourers and harsh scraping; stuck-on cheese or caramel is better loosened with a short soak than attacked with a sharp tool. That gentle routine is the best way to protect the coating through regular family cooking.
Would a different 9x13 pan serve you better?
Choose the Nordic Ware if you prefer bare aluminum and want a pan with a reinforced rim; it is hand-wash-only, so it is not the quick-cleanup choice. Choose the FISDEN set if having three pans for batch baking or separate dishes matters more than having a travel cover. For one nonstick pan that can go from oven to potluck, Farberware keeps the decision simple.
How they compare
The convenient one-pan pick: nonstick release, a carry-and-storage lid, and oven use up to 450°F.
A bare-aluminum 9x13 with a reinforced rim for bakers who prefer a traditional pan over nonstick.
Three matching 9x13 pans for batch baking, party prep or keeping several dishes in rotation.
Who it suits
This set is for the family cook who makes brownies, sheet cakes or weeknight casseroles in a standard 9x13 size and wants a cover ready for leftovers or a potluck. It’s especially useful when easy release and less fuss than wrapping a dish matter more than having multiple pans.
What you give up
- The cover is for transport and storage, not the oven, and its clearance is not something to count on for tall frosting.
- The nonstick finish asks for careful utensils and hand-washing; if you want to cut brownies directly in the pan or scrub aggressively, bare aluminum is a better match.
- You get one pan, not the batch-baking flexibility of a three-piece set.
When another one is the better buy
Nordic Ware Classic Metal 9x13 Covered Cake Pan: Pick the Nordic Ware if you want a bare-aluminum pan with a reinforced rim and prioritize a durable, traditional baking surface over nonstick release. Its stated interior size is 13 x 9 x 2.5 inches; plan on hand-washing it.
FISDEN Set of 3 Rectangular Cake Pan, Non-Stick Baking Pan, 9 x 13 Inch Deep Cookie Sheet Tray: Pick the FISDEN set if you regularly bake several trays at once, want three pans to rotate through batch cooking, or need separate pans for a gathering. It gives up the travel lid, so it is less suited to carrying a covered cake.

Questions buyers ask
Can you put a 9x13 pan lid in the oven?
No; this lid is for carrying and storage.
Will the cover keep frosting from smearing?
A low, level topping is the safer bet; carry the pan flat so the cake does not slide into the cover.
Can you cut brownies in a nonstick pan without scratching it?
Don’t cut directly in the pan: a knife can scratch the coating. Loosen the edges, lift the brownies onto a board, then slice them there.
Why does a baking pan pop or warp in the oven?
Metal expands as it heats, and a sudden change in temperature can make it flex or pop. Use a flat oven rack, avoid moving a very hot pan onto a cold or wet surface, and replace a pan that no longer sits flat.
Is this a good 9x13 pan for roasting at 400°F?
Yes; 400°F is within the pan’s stated oven-safe range.
Does a dishwasher ruin a nonstick baking pan?
Dishwasher cycles expose nonstick finishes to heat, detergent and contact with other items, so skip the dishwasher.
How do I keep a nonstick cake pan from peeling?
Store it so other cookware cannot scrape across the coating; a pan protector or separate storage spot helps reduce wear.
