Sheet tray
The general-purpose home baking tray, well suited to soft, home-style sheet-pan pizzas.
Material and heat transfer
Aluminium or steel rimmed baking sheet
Moderate; a thin gauge tray heats quickly but does not retain heat well
Preheat: Can be used cold or briefly preheated depending on the recipe
Crust effect
A soft, tender base rather than a crisp one, suited to soft pan styles
Care
A heavier-gauge tray resists warping better under high heat
- Thin trays can warp at high oven temperatures
