The Best Baking Sheets (Review) in 2020

Hitting the coveted top spot of our Top Picks is the Commercial Baker’s Big Sheet from Nordic Ware. This baking tray is extremely large, so be aware that it may not be suitable for those who have a slimline oven. For everyone else, this is the best baking sheet on the market, today.

As well as being extremely highly rated by customers, who loved how easily their baked goods could be removed from the tray once they had finished cooking, these trays are made with reinforced rims and galvanized steel. This allows them to be used time and time again without the wear and tear you might notice in other, cheaper options.

There’s no warping and no danger of uneven cooking either, as the material allows for an even spread of heat during use. The only drawback to this item is that it is handwash only- but we can forgive Nordic Ware for this, when you consider the many benefits it brings!

A baking sheet and wire rack combination that takes care of every cooking and baking need you could possibly have, this quarter-sized aluminum cookie pan from Kitchenatics is the best baking tray on the market for those who enjoy a little versatility in their baking sheet.
