Best baking sheets?
What’s the best type of baking sheet? I wonder if my nonstick baking sheets are emitting chemicals, especially when I do high heat roasting. Should I look for plain aluminum? Or is there some thing else? I usually use parchment paper anyway. I use baking sheets for everything from cookies to traybakes to roasting veggies. Thanks for your expertise!

Hi Sonya - We don't recommend nonstick sheet trays for the reason you mentioned. They are not approved for high-heat cooking and we often use them at temperatures above 400 degrees. Additionally, nonstick sheet pans are often made of thin metal and tend to warp in the heat of the oven. We, instead, recommend a heavy-gauge aluminum sheet tray like this one from NordicWare, which will retain even heat and won't warp. Using a sheet of parchment paper will keep most any food from sticking and make for easy cleanup. Best, The Milk Street Team
