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.

I own one and would not recommend anything less than 14 gauge. Of course it depends on how far you have to run for supply.

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

Everywhere and everything I've read says 12 gauge. At 14, you only get 13 amps max and this machine is designed for max effectiveness at 13.5 amps. Although I was tempted to get a 14 ga since the cord would be thinner and easier to use and cheaper, I opted for the 12 thinking long-term and minimizing any opportunity for this machine to brick due to my lack of care or proper equipment. But that's just me and my two cents. :)

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

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.

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.

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

This is a 12 gauge, 3 conductor cable. You should be fine because 12 gauge is a heavier duty(larger) wire than 14 gauge. God bless.

Hi,We used 16 gauge wire. It works fine for us. Not sure that's the proper gauge but that's what we've used on all our fence chargers.

18 gauge. It's pretty durable and the wife likes it a lot . I hope that helps

I'm currently in the process of trying to run some 16 gauge through, and it's a bit of a hassle. The shielding on this wire is a bit "tacky", so there's a lot of friction, and it's a bit thick, so that might play a role in it. The smallest part of the tubing is about " in diameter, so probably more than sufficient for 14 gauge, but the opening in the back of the tube -- where the wire has to make a sharp 90 turn -- is only " in diameter.

The paddle wire I'd received seemed to be 22 gauge; I ordered only one, however. It may be the case that when you ordered more than one, you revealed a problem the merchant was unaware of -- mispackaged product. 22 gauge is ever and always 22 gauge, it's a standard measurement; if you've got variations in wire thickness, then do send it back with a well-justified complaint, as you've simply NOT received what you'd paid for. Thanks for the question, this is how we the people keep quality up! :)

I paid a little more for 14 gauge wire. In hind sight 16 gauge would be just about as good. I got oxygen free wire to make sure I didn't get copper coated aluminum. The oxygen free cost a little more but IMO its worth it. Bottom line I would have gotten 16 gauge oxygen free speaker wire.

My estimate is 16-18 gauge. Not 14 or 12. It was the same gauge as the stock wiring in my Cherokee '95

14 gauge is really better. I used 14 gauge and it works great. The longer wire runs should use bigger wire like 14.
