When I take it out and it cools it becomes flat again. I never had this happen to other sheets that I have had. Anyone know why?

I do not agree with the other answers. Uneven heat distribution usually causes the pan to POP and temporarily warp in a hot oven. It doesn't necessarily mean that it is a cheap, low-gauge product. And it doesn't always happen every time. It may have something to do with the temperature of the food on the pan while it is cooking -- did you have cold or frozen food on the pan?
For instance, I have a good quality, heavy-gauge 1.0mm carbon steel pan that popped the other day when I was cooking dinner in the oven. I've had the pan for about 3 years...it never warped before and it hasn't warped since. So warping isn't always an indicator of product quality.
Good luck with your purchase!

It must be a thin metal and doesn't conduct heat well. When choosing a baking sheet, make sure it's heavy in weight and aluminum (if heavy) or steel are the best. Also, always line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking, burning, etc.

If you plan on doing much baking at all...you will be much
happier with good quality and heavier gauge baking sheets.
This also goes for any baking projects and stove top cooking
as well.

The extrusion process that makes the pans causes the pan to become "rim" bound and when heated the weakest point of the radius gives to the un-bent surface causing the "canning" effect or warp as you call it

that happens w/a cheap brand of cookie sheet. i dont know why but i have had it happen to me before when i used the dollar general brand. i still have a few & they work fine but watch out because over time they start to rust when you wash them & they suggest that you dont wash them in the dishwasher

yes your oven is too high for the baking sheet your using, either change your settings or your sheet. you do know everthing in a 400 degree oven is 400 degrees right but what you buy conducts its own temperture

Hmmm. There must be something going on with the metal its made of. Perhaps, you didn't put enough shortening on the sheet.

I'm afraid that means you have a thin, cheap, aluminum pan. My hand me downs did that but my good heavy Paderno ones don't. Do your cookies come out ok on them? If so, you can still use them but you might find they burn easier. I haven't burned a thing since I got my super heavy aluminum ones!!

It's too thin and not a good heat conductor. Step up a little in quality and it won't happen.
