DID YOU KNOW? 🧐

When seeking out half-sheet pans, pure aluminum is best, as it conducts heat more evenly than aluminized steel. Avoid coatings of any sort: Pans with nonstick finishes can’t withstand especially high oven heats, get scuffed and need to be replaced every 3 to 5 years. For sturdier options, look for thicker pans according to the metal’s gauge (12- to 18-gauge works well); the lower the number, the thicker the aluminum. Once you’ve used true half-sheet pans, you can’t go back to flimsy tins. (source)
