Heavy-Gauge, Dull Aluminum Commercial Baker's Sheet Be sure to buy the half-sheets because the full-sheets won't fit in a home oven. ... Just remember don't grease the baking sheet unless your recipe calls for it. A piece of parchment paper or a Silpat are great liners and will help prevent your cookies from sticking.

Why do cookie sheets bend in the oven?

Baking sheets bend in the oven because of high temperature. Baking sheets and pans are made from multiple layers of metal. When the oven heats up, the metal reacts to the heat and begins to expand. ... When one side expands more than the other, the baking sheet will bend or twist.

What is the difference between a cookie sheet and a baking sheet?

Although cookie sheets are often referred to as "baking sheets," there is a difference. Baking pans have rolled edges, and cookie sheets do not. ... But their lack of edges limits their uses: Roasting, for example, is impossible on a cookie sheet, because juices will run off the pan.

Why does my cookie sheet pop in the oven?

It's your sub-par sheet pan. ... When you put a rim-less sheet pan (like the flat ones with that one curved lip) in the oven, it wants to expand, ultimately causing it to warp. That loud clang is what happens the instant the metal decides it's a bit too hot.

Do all baking sheets warp?

It's important to understand, though, that warping can unfortunately occur with any sheet pan, even a well made, heavy-duty one, under certain conditions. If you are able to avoid some of these conditions, you're much less likely to experience warping with your half sheet pans.

Why did my baking pan warp?

In the case of your metal baking sheets and pans, multiple surfaces need to expand — the bottom of the pan or sheet and the four raised edges along its perimeter. As they heat up, they don't all expand at the same rate. The bottom will expand slightly more than the raised lip. This creates stress at the folded edges.
