The description at the top of this listing (near the price) says "14 gauge" yet under Product Description it says 16-gauge. Which is it?

Here is the official description of their pans:Rectangle Cake Pan by Fat Daddio's 12" x 16" x 2 inch deep * 14 gauge Hard 3003 Aluminum * Straight Sides * SEAMLESS Design * Hard Anodized for Durability * 1/2" flange on all 4 sides. The very slightly rounded corners make these pans exceptional for baking cakes that will be covered with rolled fondant.They are the best...don't warp and work great...Hint: line the pan with parchment paper and have a cooling rack to flip it out of the pan.Have fun!!!Joe Martin

The gauge is the thickness of the metal. It is probably both 14 at the depth and around the top it is probably 16 guage. I hope this helps I love my pan and will buy another soon.

I don't remember seeing which it was. I just know I was surprised by the thickness - it's got to be the heaviest pan I've ever owned, but then again, I have never bought any restaurant grade cookware either. If regular stuff from the store is 16 gauge, I would assume this to be the thicker 14 gauge. It's a nice pan. After buying one, I've bought two more sizes. I'll never need to buy another pan again.

Well it is a very heavy sturdy pan, overkill thick...SEAMLESS and well rounded edges, I'd answer 14 gauge...which is heavier but honestly it's very well made imho. I love this pan.

SORRY, my mistake. Woke up at 3:30 am and thought I gave the wrong information. IT'S THE 12 GAUGE YOU WANT NOT THE 14. I got them mixed up. Home Depot will exchange it for you.

Hi, unfortunately I am at work and can't measure my shed, but if I had to guess I would estimate it is somewhere arround 14-16 gauge. It's tough to know for sure though due to the vinyl coating.

The UL spec for the wire gauge is 16AWG. We ALWAYS meet or exceed the specification requirement. Anything thinner (such as 18AWG) may NOT meet the UL specifications.

14 ga. is actually larger than 18 ga. It's an inverse sizing system, where the smaller the number is, the larger the wire actually is. So when they say "minimum or 14 gauge" they mean...14, 12, 10, 8, etc. Always follow these recommendations, but don't listen to advise from people who think you something to gain by using ultra-thick wire like 4 gauge. This is just taking things to a ridiculous extreme, where you are just wasting money on something that will make zero difference.

this will NOT fit a 20 gauge - this looks to be a universal 12 gauge - the description is lacking. I just returned it.

Hi Freddy, I see exactly what you were talking about. It is sold as a 14x14 but the product description says 16x9x4. I would assume that measurement is the size of the box it is shipped in? Did you make a purchase and/or figure this out. I am about to purchase and would like to clarify the same question you had...

Heavy Duty...I see they say 18 gauge on Ebay listings. I have them, and they are Commercial Quality. I took a Baking Class at a College, and this is the gauge they used. VERY much a Quality Item...WELL MADE. I have compared them at a Kitchen Supply Store, and they are made the BEST!

It is at least 14 gauge. This is a great wok and is stable on my gas range.

With out getting too technical 12 agw is best 14agw will do and pass on 16agw. For the tech stuff see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gaugeHope this helps.

It's 14 AWG - the same as most of the wiring in your house. It's a great product, well made and at a really good price. You won't be sorry.

It is a thick wire, thought the plastic coating is somewhat weak. I'm guessing 14 gauge.

The wire is labeled 18 gauge. I was expecting a thicker gauge as well. If there is any good news here, it is the better rated 600 V and 105 degree wire.

Thank you for your interest in this item. To answer your question, the thickness is 18 gauge.-GavinivgStores Customer Service

14 gauge if I remember correctly. I sent it back because the outside casing and wires were too thick for my application.

I think the wire I used is 18 gauge, but I'm confident that up to 16 gauge would slide in easily as well.

16 gauge is fine. EBay has an entire unit for $100. Cheap for an extra sub.
