Cookie Baking Pans
Professional Cookie Pans Offer Great Value
Looking to buy cookie baking pans with room to bake plenty of cookies? A solid, professional cookie pan is often the best choice. It will last you a lifetime.
True, a sturdy baking pan may cost a wee bit more, but it will offer you greater value in the long run. Whereas flimsy pans are less durable and tend to bake unevenly. When it comes to cookie pans, you really get what you pay for.
How To Buy Cookie PansThe pan you select should have a good solid raised edge or wide handles suitable for gripping with oven mitts. A good grip helps you avoid touching the cookies when inserting them into the oven or when removing baked cookies from a hot oven. A good raised edge also adds strength to the pan. However, watch that the edges aren't too high or they'll restrict needed air flow during baking.
Get The Right SizeChoose a large cookie pan that best fits your oven. It's recommended by professional chefs that you have at least 2 inches of free space on either side of a pan to allow air flow. Hot air needs to circulate freely for proper baking conditions. Our built-in 30-inch oven has a rack size of 14 by 24 inches. Therefore, a 11x17 pan would permit excellent air flow for more even baking. Two 9x13 pans could also be used. Most bakery cooks say having a set of different pan sizes often comes in handy.
Get An Even HeatYou might want to avoid dark-colored pans as they tend to bake hotter than those that are light colored. Also avoid stainless steel as it's a poor conductor of heat. Carbon steel cookie pans are much better at conducting an even heat, but for fast baking with consistent results you simply cannot beat a sturdy aluminum baking pan which also resists rust and can be placed in a freezer to freeze things. Always use the best quality bakeware to achieve the best results.
Get Nonstick Coatings & Parchment PaperDurable, nonstick coatings prevent broken cookies and allow fast clean up after baking, but you'll need to avoid the use of metal kitchen utensils to prevent unwanted scratches. Note that some nonstick surfaces are not dishwasher safe and might require washing by hand.
Consider using parchment paper when baking for easier cleanups even with nonstick coatings. Parchment also gives more even baking results by helping to prevent burning. Try parchment and you'll love it.
The Handiest Item In Your KitchenBesides baking cookies, these kind of pans are terrific for heating frozen pizzas, French fries, roasting vegetables, and when used as a drip catcher when baking other dishes. They are one of the handiest items to have in your kitchen.
