Best Half Sheet Pan for 450 and 500 Degree ovens

I recently bought half sheet pans from a major flour vendor. I use the pans for 450 degree recipes for rustic bread and pizza. There is also a Cookish chicken recipe that cooks at 500 degrees.

Alas the pans buckled starting at 425 degrees. What brands are people using that work at 450-500 degrees without buckling?


Thanks!

    Hi Carol - Hopefully some other folks will weigh in on specific brands they recommend - we haven't tested sheet trays at Milk Street - but almost all sheet trays will warp a little bit as a result of the metal expanding as it heats. In general, most sheets won't warp permanently. Once the metal temperature equalizes it should return back to the correct shape. Personally, at home I use this one which has warped a little bit but not enough to affect cooking in any way. Hope that helps! Best, Lynn C.
