An excellent addition to any baker's kitchen, this set of two 18-by-13-by-1-inch pans offers a smooth flat surface for baking large batches of anything from chocolate chip cookies or thin cakes for rolling to roasted root vegetables, buttermilk biscuits, or homemade pizzas. Having two on hand helps save time: the first batch can start baking in the oven while the second pan gets loaded with evenly spaced balls of cookie dough or crescent-shaped croissants. The versatile pans can also be placed underneath cookware in the oven to catch drips or spills. The shallow sides of the pan ensure a tidy oven as well--melting cheese and loose nuts stay neatly contained.
Crafted from corrosion-resistant heavy-weight aluminized steel, the commercial-quality pans won't buckle or bend under intense heat and consistently provide fast and even heat distribution. Foods brown quickly and evenly--there's no need to turn the pans midway through baking. Bakers new to aluminized steel should pay extra attention at first, since the heavy-gauge pans bake more quickly than lighter-gauge varieties. The pans gradually darken with use, which actually improves heat retention, but it may also require that oven temperatures are lowered by 25 degrees to ensure even browning. The traditional uncoated surface of the pans makes them extra rugged and a great conductor of heat, but butter, oil, or parchment paper should be used to prevent foods from sticking. A 25-year limited warranty covers the set.
