SEAMLESS 1 piece construction ensures that no food gets caught between cracks or seams during handling which saves time on prep versus other metal types as well! heavy gauge stainless steel maintains its shape in storage while saving space when not being used making them perfect addition if you’re tight on kitchen real estate too
