The Best
Sheet Cake Pans
You're talking about a 9x13x2 inch
pan (or larger) for a real sheet cake, which is usually decorated and sold in
both grocery stores and cake shops. Typically, the pans are 2 inches deep,
though they are also offered in 3-inch depth.
First, when it comes to servings,
the height of your cake is important. When most people think of sheet cakes,
they picture a single layer of cake that is about two inches high. The number
of servings doubles if you make a two-layer cake instead.
Fat Daddio's
Anodized Aluminum Sheet Cheesecake Pan with Removable Bottom
With its detachable bottom, this one makes it incredibly
simple to move delicate cakes after they've cooled. Additionally, it won't snap
or buckle like a springform pan with a latch might because the bottom pops out
of the pan in one piece.
Because the pan is made of
lightweight aluminum, heat is transferred quickly and evenly, preventing uneven
cooking of cakes and bars. Additionally, its reflective material prevents
browning along the bottom, maintaining the lightness and delicateness of coffee
cakes, cinnamon rolls, and glossy fudge brownies.
Last but not least, the Fat Daddio's
pan is perfect for creating high-acidity dishes like lasagna and lemon bars
because it is composed of non-reactive anodized aluminum, which eliminates the
horrible possibility of metal flavor leaking into your food.
Because of these qualities, it can
be used for much more than just cake; it can be used for hot cross buns, dinner
rolls, and spanakopita for a large gathering.
NordicWare Naturals High Sided Sheetcake Pan
Baking experts know that using
aluminum bakeware is essential for evenly baked and perfectly browned food,
making it a must-have for any chef's kitchen.
Aluminum cooks more evenly and
thoroughly than other metals and is well known for its exceptional heat
conductivity. For potluck-sized amounts of cake, lasagnas, and bars, this
high-sided cake pan is ideal.
The Nordic Ware sheet pans differ
from the Magic Line pans in that they are only around 1-inch-deep as opposed to
2-3 inches, and they lack sharp corners and straight up-and-down
sides. Nordic Ware Sheet pans are also available in quarter sheet, half
sheet, and full sheet sizes.
Alphabet Cake
Pan
It's worth mentioning even though it's not really a "sheet pan" in the conventional sense. You can use the Alphabet Pan for both letters and numbers, making it a very versatile pan. However, it can also be used to create odd-sized rectangles. That concludes my list of the best sheet cake pans available.
