Hi all,

Purchased some empty full sized pans. Out of about 10, 4 of them have this wedge shaped cut.

It's very deliberate. It's not a manufacturing fault.

What do you think the purpose is? I can't fully fill them, unless on an angle.

I'm a little stumped. Any feedback welcome.

Thank you

My guess is that you fill it with napkins, envelopes or some flat, paper-like item and the slot allows you to access them easily.

I've never seen it before, just a guess.

Would wager you’re spot on. Judging from the photo, it looks like it would be the perfect size for those pink packets of sweeteners.

The dimensions of a sweetener look right, I'm just not sure about scale. OP says a pan, which would be bigger than a sweetener holder I imagine.
