Know before you buy
The pan features a natural nonstick surface on pure aluminum, which can be damaged or discolored by the harsh detergents and high heat cycles of a dishwasher. Hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to preserve the integrity of the coating and prevent the aluminum from oxidizing.
Yes, the steel rim provides structural rigidity that helps the aluminum maintain its shape when exposed to high oven temperatures. It is specifically designed to resist the 'popping' or twisting often seen in thinner, rimless baking sheets.
While the pan is durable, it is best to avoid using sharp metal utensils directly on the nonstick surface. Using silicone, wood, or nylon tools will significantly extend the life of the finish and prevent scratching.
This baker's half sheet is oven-safe up to 450°F. Exceeding this temperature may compromise the nonstick coating and the performance of the aluminum.
With exterior dimensions of 17.9 x 12.9 inches, this pan is designed to fit most standard-sized home ovens. We recommend measuring your oven rack before purchasing to ensure you have adequate clearance for airflow.
Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat, which promotes even browning across the entire surface of the pan. You can expect consistent results without the hot spots often found in thinner or lower-quality pans.
