Top 10 Baking Sheets For Hotel Pans
for October 2023

This sturdy and durable rack is a good choice for bakeries, restaurants, and home kitchens. Its sturdy construction makes it easy to move, and its 10 tiers hold a lot of sheet pans, making it a good choice for restaurants. The rack's 5" casters and 2 that feature brakes make it stable and easy to load, and its height is ideal for storing sheet pans. The rack also features 3" clearance between tiers, so air can properly circulate around pans. The rack is wide enough to hold full size sheet pans, and it's deep enough to hold half size sheet pans. The rack's aluminum construction makes it easy to maintain and clean. The rack's 33 lb capacity per sheet pan is also plenty for commercial kitchens. The rack's 26" x 20" x 38" size is larger than some other racks, so it's a good choice for larger kitchens.

This perforated aluminum baking sheet from Amazon has two perks: it's rustproof, and it's perforated. That means it's great for baking or roasting foods, and it's also great for reheating foods that have cooled, as moisture can escape through the tiny perforations. The pan's aluminum construction also makes it better than some competing models at transferring heat to food, so food cooks faster. And, because aluminum conducts heat more quickly and efficiently, food cooks more evenly. The pan's small holes also reduce cooking times, as food tends to cook faster (and, hence, more evenly) when there's more airflow. The downside? The pan is relatively heavy, and it's a bit pricier than some other perforated aluminum pans. But, as with any pan, it's important to choose the right size, and this pan works equally well for cookies, brownies, and other baked goods as it does for heavier foods, such as lasagna.

The Ultra Cuisine half-sheet pan and cooling rack set is solidly built and performs well, whether it's for baking cookies or roasting meat. The rack is a relatively thin 20-gauge stainless-steel wire, so it's fairly flexible, and its mesh is thick enough so that food won't fall through but thin enough so that air circulation is adequate. The baking sheet is 18 x 13.5 inches and made of 18/10 stainless steel, so it heats quickly and evenly. It's much thicker than the baking sheets we tested, and it's heavier, so it's more likely to remain heat-resistant throughout baking. The rack is also much thicker than the wire racks we tested, so it's less likely to bend or warp. The pan and pan holder are dishwasher-safe, and the rack is oven-safe up to 450°F, so you can bake or roast anything on it, from cookies to whole chickens. The set also includes a quick-flip holder, which attaches to your oven's door, and it can be used to hold foods in the oven or to transfer them to and from the oven. It's made of commercial-grade aluminum, so it's sturdy, and it's lightweight, so it's easy to transfer food to and from the oven.

The Winco SPJH-202PF half-size perforated steam pan is an ideal choice for both professional food service and home kitchen use. Made of 22-gauge stainless steel, this pan is extremely durable and can withstand years of heavy use without showing signs of wear. Its surface is characterized by a shiny finish and uniform texture. In addition, the pan is resistant to scratches, stains and corrosion. Its perforated design allows moisture to evaporate quickly and efficiently, ensuring superior quality food. The Winco SPJH-202PF half-size perforated steam pan is also convenient to use. Its dimensions are 2-1/2 inches deep, 12.8"L x 2.56"H x 10.43"W, and 1.54 lbs., which is convenient for storage and transportation. In addition, this pan is NSF certified, so you can rest assured that it is safe to use.

This pan is everything you want in a cookie tray: It's heavy enough to handle large batches, and the extra-wide handles make carrying it easy. The pan is deep, so cookies don't spread out when baking. The pan is dishwasher safe, so it's simple to clean. The pan comes with two removable stick labels, which are easy to peel off. The only drawback is the pan's mirror finish, which makes it difficult to spot chips or scratches. But apart from that, this pan is a winner.

Ultra Cuisines half sheet pans are high-quality and well-made, with nice heft and an excellent feel. They're also the best nonstick baking sheets we've ever used, thanks to their tough, silicon-based nonstick coating. While very thin baking sheets like the Circulon Premier 5-inch Steel Baking Sheet haven't warped in our tests, Ultra Cuisines half sheet pans have held up well. They offer great browning, and cleanup is a breeze thanks to the nonstick coating, which wipes right off with a wet towel. The anodized aluminum construction is sturdy and won't warp, and the nonstick coating is durable and solid. The only drawback is the thin steel rim, which is somewhat flimsy and bends easily, but it's barely noticeable once the pan is in the oven. These pans are available in multiple sizes, and we recommend the 18x13-inch size for most home bakers.

The TeamFar Baking Sheet set is heavy, thick, and well-made. The sheets are mirror-finished and come in two sizes, both of which are large enough for baking multiple cookies, pizzas, or baking sheet pizzas. The sheets are dishwasher-safe, which is nice, but using dishwasher detergent can strip the coating off the metal, so you'll need to hand wash the sheets if you intend to use them regularly. Unlike the other baking sheets we tested, the TeamFar set is deep on the sides and edges, so oil doesn't flow down the sides and onto the oven. The set is relatively small, so if you're baking multiple sheets at a time, they won't make a mess in the oven or on your kitchen cabinets. The set also ships with two sheets, which is a plus, since many baking sheets ship with one sheet. The set is reasonably priced, too.

The USA Pan Bakeware Half Sheet Pan is in a class by itself. It features a unique corrugated design, which distributes heat more evenly and eliminates hot spots. As a result, this pan cooks food to perfection, whether you're making cookies, roasting vegetables, or baking a cake. In addition, the aluminized steel construction is sturdy and durable; this pan has held up well in our tests, even after many uses. The pan is also easy to clean, and it's dishwasher-safe. The only drawback is that, unlike our other picks, the baking sheet isn't oven-safe; you must handle everything with heat-safe utensils. Still, this minor drawback is outweighed by the baking sheet's solid construction, even heating, and ease of use.

The Rottay Stainless Steel Baking Sheet with Cooling Rack Set is a great deal for the money, and it's our top choice for baking sheets. The set has a comfortable weight, and it's made of heavy-duty stainless steel that's both warp-resistant and rust-free. The rack is well-designed, and the cookie sheets are sizable (16 by 12 by 1 inches). The cooling rack is sturdy, and the baked goods slide right out, even cakes. The rack also has three raised feet that help keep food from sliding off. The pans are nonstick, so cleanup is easy, and the pans are also oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The cooling rack is oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and both the pan and the rack fit most regular oven, toaster oven and some air fryer.

This pan is excellent for roasting and baking big batches of vegetables, meats, and other foods. The surface has a corrugated pattern, so food won't stick, and it's heavy-gauge steel, so it's durable. It's also PTFE, PFOA, and BPA free. The pan is 17.25 inches by 12.25 inches and is 1 inch thick, which is slightly less than a standard half sheet. The pan is heavy (3.2 pounds) and can be hard to transport, but it's sturdy enough to handle normal use. The pan surface is nonstick, so food won't stick, and it's a breeze to clean: simply wipe it clean and it is ready for your next meal. The pan is made in the USA from globally sourced materials, and is 1 inch deep, so it's suitable for heavy duty baking.
