A baking tray is a flat metal pan used for baking in an oven. It is one of the most basic pieces of kitchen equipment and a staple in most households.

Types of baking tray

• Standard flat tray – versatile and suitable for cookies, pizza, and baked goods
• Deep tray – for traybakes, cakes, and lasagna
• Perforated tray – has holes for better air circulation and is ideal for baguettes and bread rolls
• Nonstick tray – coated with Teflon or ceramic for easier cleaning
• Enameled tray – durable and retains heat well

Materials

Most baking trays are made of steel with various surface finishes. Aluminum trays conduct heat faster but deform more easily. Professional bakeries use heavy-gauge steel or stainless-steel trays.

Care

A baking tray should be washed after each use with warm water and a little dishwashing liquid. Wire scourers are not recommended for nonstick surfaces. A light coating of oil helps protect it from corrosion for longer. Enameled trays can also be washed in a dishwasher.

Tips

Placing a cold tray in a hot oven slows baking, so some recipes recommend preheating the tray. When making cookies, it is useful to have two trays and alternate between them.
