Half Sheet Pan

If you only keep one pan within arm's reach, make it this one. A half sheet is the workhorse that bakes the cookies, roasts the vegetables, catches the bacon drips, and slides under the broiler for game-day nachos.

The details

The half sheet measures roughly 17 1/4 by 12 1/4 inches across the baking surface with a 1-inch rim, sized to fit a standard home oven with room to spare. The low wall is tall enough to corral juices and tall roasting vegetables but shallow enough to slide a spatula under a row of cookies.

It is pressed from heavy-gauge aluminized steel with USA Pan's signature fluted, corrugated bottom. Those ridges lift the pan slightly off its own surface so air circulates underneath, which means more even browning and far less warping when the pan hits a hot oven. Reinforced rolled edges keep the rim rigid and easy to grab.

The AMERICOAT nonstick coating is a silicone-based finish made without PTFE, PFOA, or BPA. Cookies and roasted vegetables lift away cleanly, and cleanup is usually a quick wipe.
