Sheet pan recipes are so
popular, whole books and specialty magazines have been devoted to them. We agree…when I searched “sheet pan” on our blog I came up with more than
200 entries!
A half sheet with a rack is a
real workhorse – for baking, roasting, cooling
cookies, frosting (the pan catches the drips) – I have 3 of these sets, each
with a plastic cover, and work them hard. I like the Nordic Ware sheet
pans, I can buy just the pans inexpensively at Sam’s Club, and I have purchased
extra covers at The Dutchman’s in Cantril, Iowa. Amazon sells a variety of the Nordic Ware
sheet pans and lids HERE.
I use these pans for baking, raising buns
and other yeast loaves with the covers, roasting vegetables and meats for
stock-making, and spreading out items I want to freeze in a loose pack, like
rice, so I can pack them after they are frozen hard.
I also have 3 Nordic Ware quarter sheet pans
that are 13x9”; a perfect size for my large toaster oven, and often for
whatever else I want to bake or roast.
They hold half a recipe from a large half sheet pan, and I can also buy the plastic covers for them.
I like racks that fit inside my sheet pans,
and have 2 for my half sheet pans and 2 for my quarter sheet pans. They can be used as racks in the pans, for
roasting and for drip racks for frosting, and also to cool the contents of the
sheet pans or to place the pans on to cool.
I found these racks fit my Nordic Ware half sheet pans and these racks fit my quarter sheet pans.
Here are some of our favorite recipes that use sheet pans.

We use ours a lot too. Mainly for roasting and baking on parchment.
