Baking Trays & Cookie Sheets — Frequently Asked Questions
Does a baking tray have raised edges?
Most baking trays have slightly raised edges, which help contain liquids, oils, or batter. They’re great for roasting vegetables, baking slices, or making sheet cakes without spills.
What’s the best material for a baking tray?
Aluminium trays heat quickly and evenly, stainless steel ones are tough and long-lasting, and non-stick options make baking and cleaning effortless. The right choice depends on how often you bake and what you like to make.
Are baking trays non-stick?
Many modern trays come with a non-stick coating that helps baked goods slide off easily. If you’re baking cookies or pastries, a non-stick surface can save time and reduce mess.
How do I clean my baking tray?
Most trays can be wiped clean with warm, soapy water. Non-stick trays should be washed by hand, while stainless steel trays are usually fine in the dishwasher. Avoid harsh scrubbers to keep the surface smooth.
What size baking tray should I get?
Think about your oven size and how much you usually bake. A standard tray works well for most ovens, while half or mini trays are handy for small batches or toaster ovens.
Can I use a baking tray for roasting?
Absolutely! Baking trays with edges are perfect for roasting vegetables, fish, or meats. They give you crisp results and easy cleanup afterward.
Why does my baking tray bend in the oven?
A sudden change in temperature can make thinner trays flex or “pop.” This is normal and usually settles as the metal cools. Thicker trays are less likely to warp over time.
How can I stop food from sticking to the tray?
Line your tray with baking paper or a silicone mat, or lightly grease it with oil or butter. This keeps your food golden and easy to lift off once baked.
What’s the best way to clean a burnt baking tray?
Try soaking it in warm water with a little baking soda, then gently scrub. Avoid metal scourers that can scratch or damage the surface.
How long should a good baking tray last?
With regular care and gentle cleaning, a quality tray can last for years. Replace it once the coating starts to peel or the metal becomes warped.
