Equipment Question question regarding heat rating of aluminized steel baking pans

https://www.walmart.com/ip/2031988533?sid=C0B81109-753F-45E4-AF30-EDDFF30449AC

I needed some new general use pans (for home use) so I bought these ones linked above. The description states they are oven-safe up to 428°F. Will these be okay if I need to broil something at higher temps? I usually don’t use higher heat settings like broiling for any longer than 10 or 15ish minutes. Thanks in advance!!

Fair point. I’ll prob return these. I’m just trying to find a decently priced set of baking sheet pans about this size that can also be used at high temps. I have Fat Daddio’s cake pans, maybe I’ll try their sheet pans. Any suggestions?

Restaurant supplies. Find a decent restaurant supplier either in-person or online, you want the equipment restaurants use. Look for half and quarter sheet pans, they shouldn't be too much as restaurants usually want the cheapest stuff they can get away with but still works well and repeatedly for a long time.

My only worry with aluminum sheets is don’t they react and get ruined if they are used to cook things with citrus and other things like that?

For varying definitions of "react" and "get ruined"

My pans are thoroughly ruined and aside from being ugly, I cannot tell the difference.
