These are a good quality, arrived individually wrapped in plastic and stacked inside a styrofoam liner in the cardboard shipping box. No damage upon arrival.I'm using these in a maple sap evaporator setup and the depth plus surface area is a great combination for speeding things along. Stainless steel means high temp tolerance and easier to clean.Put a piece of cardboard between each one when stacking for storage or you won't be able to get them apart without some kind of magic.
