Nordic Ware Naturals 18" x 13" Aluminum Half Sheet, Rectangular Cookie & Baking Sheet Pan

I have a pair of these for easily 8 years or more. I added 2 new ones but will keep the old ones too as they still work well. Lightweight but not flimsy, last forever and clean easily. I like to use parchment or cooking spray but over time they do get a patina coating which doesn't affect the function. We use these pans often and they are great! Wash with dish soap and hot water or some baking soda. Excellent value for the money and good size. With a little elbow grease my old ones can clean up better but good to see what they still look like after 8 years or more.

Years ago I worked in a bakery and that's when I learned the difference of cookie sheets and quality baking sheets. The aluminum half sheet is the size of what you would use for cookies in a home kitchen. The pan is a lot heavier, and double the aluminum. Why is this important? Consistency in heat, which makes your baked goods bake evenly and less likely to dry out or burn. It's an investment you will notice and never return to those cheap pans again.
