Air bake? Non stick?

Find me some on amazon please

[WillabyWallabyWu]

Oh, I need new ones too. Following!

We bought several of these Chicago Metallic Commercial ones and they have held up very well.

Not on Amazon, but the best bakeware, period, is Williams-Sonoma gold touch. I have a few pieces and I want to replace ALL my stuff with it.

Ditto this.  Got some baking sheets/etc for my birthday and they are completely awesome.

I get quarter size sheet pans from restaurant supply stores. Sam's Club has them too. I prefer the results I get with the lighter-color metal.

I have about 6 of these:

I bake a lot & these have held up very well!

though, those gold ones do intrigue me...what is so great about them?  

[cobber06]

Do you have a silpat? I use mine with almost everything so my crappy cookie sheets are still limping along.

If you do airbake, go with the nonstick- otherwise the cookies really stick to the pan.

I've never had non stick I hate to admit. Do things stick?

No, are they great? I keep seeing the e erywhere.

Love Williams-Sonoma. We registered for those and they are well worth the price.

Ditto according to Cook's Illustrated - although I don't have any!  Calphaon nonstick jelly roll pans are decent and chicago metallic too (thought it's a little light for browning).  Get jelly roll pans, the brimless sheets are not as versatile in the kitchen.

ETA: let me add - I'm a big cookie baker....
Air pans suck, they throw off the cook time and browning on cookies.  I can't justify investment in the WS gold touch right now b/c I almost always use parchment paper when baking cookies, which seems to equalize a lot of the results (not 100%, but close enough to keep using my calphalons).  Incidentally, there's another reason cookies "sheets" suck - the parchment slides right off since there are no edges.

I mostly use them for cookies & meatballs. I've never had cookies stick at all & meatballs I just spray the pan first. If something does stick, I just leave some soap & water on it & scrub it later...they've always come clean then.

I have some Calphalon jelly roll sheets and just picked up some more (I forget what brand) stainless steel jelly roll pans from Costco for ~$6 each.

IME, just buy whatever jelly roll pans you can find, and then buy a package of parchment paper from Gordon's Food Service. Nothing sticks! Walla!

[cece]

Not on Amazon and not a typical cookie sheet, but I love the stone bar pans from pampered chef. I use them for everything!! Nothing sticks after you season them. I had a party just so I could use my earnings to buy 4 of them!

[catbus]

I also buy the commercial ones from restaurant supply stores or Costco. They're typically ~$8 for half-sheet size and are heavy-duty enough to last for many years. Like redheadbaker, I like how the light color of the metal results in perfect browning.

I do have a WS Goldtouch pan that I love, but for cakes, not cookies.

I love mine- I use it for everything from roasting veggies to baking cookies.

Mine broke last week

[gogadgetgo]

Just get a silpat. Use any sheet and your cookies, etc will come out great. And super easy to clean.

[lilac05]

I agree with the commercial pans. My family always owned a bakery growing up, and that's what my dad & grandpa always use(d).

I always use parchment paper, too. Everything bakes wonderfully on it & there's no clean-up at all!

Oh no!!  How long have you had it?  Mine broke one time just baking in the oven and the pampered chef lady sent me a new one.

Ditto the parchment (not wax!!) paper. I have a Silpat, too. I use that for macarons, meringue cookies, homemade fruit leather, etc. No real reason why

Exactly this ^

So much better than any "nonstick" stuff I have ever had.

3 years. Looked at the warranty but I don't really know what happened. Could have done it putting it away, who knows.

GOLDTOUCH!

[rugbywife]

I love my silpat…love it!

[ginkgoleaf]

Ditto gold touch! I can make pigs in a blanket with overflowing cheesiness going on and it comes right up. They are a dream to clean... Well as far as doing dishes goes.

[mainelyfoolish]

I recently got myself some USA Pan sheets from Bed Bath and Beyond and I went back and bought more. I'm a big fan. www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/usa-pan-2-piece-bakeware-set

Amazon has them too, but it's cheaper to buy at BB&B with a coupon.

[aspentosh]

I forwarded this post to H because I asked for new cookie sheets for Christmas. But I agree that jelly roll pans may be the way to go.

[rugbywife]

Now all I want to do is bake cookies.
