I am in desperate need of new cookie sheets. I haven't bought any in forever it seems like. Which are the best brand to buy?
Thanks for the help! :)
I really like the heavy cookie sheets. I've tried Wilton ones from my local JoAnn's and they warp in the oven. I recently found these at my local Sur La Table. They are on the pricey side but I enjoy the quality much better than the Wilton ones. Hope I was able to help.

absolutely! for heavy cookies like chocolate chip & peanut butter, or pressed cookies that are sprinkled with sugars, that pan is fabulous.
For my roll out-cut out cookies the flat aluminum pan is my preference. I just slide the parchment sheet of cookies right on and off the pan.

AI love anything from Chicago Metal. I found them by accident on clearance from Bed Bath and Beyond for less than half price. I am in the process of replacing all my stuff with it.
Many cookiers, including myself, use the 2-pk pans from Sams Club. Not quite as heavy as Chicago Metallics, but you get two for half the price of CM. I have 2 CMs and 6 of the others, and usually use the others.
another candidate is entering the race:

i vote for cook's dream "one end up" cookie sheet-- they stay fla, never warp even if you are only baking one cookie -- i've had mine forever -- doubles as the best 'spatula' when assembling large torted cake layers --
i don't know why they have the two different pans in the picture --the 'one end up' is the pan on the bottom --
great cookie sheet!

Agreed! I picked up the double pack from Sams Club (half-sheet jelly roll pans, heavy aluminum, brand name "Bakers & Chefs") a few years back. A solid buy for a sinfully low price!
Also, "NordicWare" sells an assortment of heavy-duty, natural aluminum pans through Wallmart. Types include quarter-sheet/half-sheet jelly roll pans, a new one (new for me?) half-sheet-high-side (2 inch) jelly roll (perfect for large cinnamon roll batch), 9x2.5" rounds (straight sides, makes fantastic cakes), 12-cup muffin (seamless construction, easy to clean). All pans perform fantastically!
And a double pack of silicone baking mats at an awesome price, from Overstock, item #13637730, http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Pro-Mat-Silicone-Baking-Mats-Pack-of-2/5937837/product.html?keywords=13637730&searchtype=Header

I just got a Sams Club membership again, I'll definitely pick up some of those to try also!
I use half sheet pans. I like rolled edges. Look at the selection from Webstaurant. (Don't ever pay more than $10.)
Silly question, but I saw perforated pans. Why would you want perforated baking pans?
Some of my pans are aluminum by Morrello (?). They are open in the middle and only have edges on two sides. easier to slide the cookies off (I use parchment paper). I know nothing about them since they belonged to my grandmother. But they are great pans!
Perforated pans have some benefits. They allow more bottom heat (helpful for pie crust) and stop condensation while products cool (great for pizza).
