Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The one star rating isn't because the pan is poorly made, rather it's resultant from false and misleading specifications data. The pan is described as 9" diameter by 3" high, but it is not. It's actually 8.5" by 2.5". The difference is small, you might say, a mere half-inch, but a half-inch on the end of your nose, or when measuring capacity volumetrically, that half-inch is not only significant, but critical. Typical recipes designed for 9" X 3" spring-form pans won't fit in this reduced standard without over-flowing. Manufacturers more and more, so it appears, in order to maintain profit margins and minimize price increases, surreptitiously reduce something, be it content weight/volume, material quality, or, in this case, (and many others), product dimensions. I regard such practice as fundamentally dishonest and fraudulent, particularly when it's easy enough for almost anybody to measure the dimensions. Manufacturers are assuming, I speculate, that we're not alert, nor smart enough to do just that, or so apathetic about being so regularly "shorted," we'll ignore the fraud. Nordic Ware has been a maker of good quality products for many years, and so I trusted the reputation...and the stated dimensions...when making the purchase. I'm most disappointed and displeased at the dishonesty. Amazon, as is the case always, with me, anyway, was prompt, straightforward, and generous with its resolution of my reported experience and dissatisfaction. Kudos to Amazon, but boo to Nordic Ware.
