Name this pan: it’s a shallow rectangular shape, oven and broiler safe and can also withstand freezing cold, scrubbings and machine washings. Of course, it is the sheet pan. Whether you operate a bakery that moves sheet pans of sugar cookies in and out of your oven, a fine dining restaurant that cooks half sheet pans of roasted vegetables beneath the broiler for the dinner rush, or a catering business that freezes sheet pans full of chocolate-covered strawberries until they are ready for dessert—you probably use this versatile pan.

The list of qualities to look for when it’s time to replace commercial sheet pans is short and sweet. In order to stand up to the heat of your broiler and the chills of your freezer, sheet pans should be durable, and warp and rust resistant.

Lincoln Wear-Ever pans are well-known among the professional community for their sturdy 3003 Aluminum construction. The sheet pans have a sturdy closed bead edge design with 1” sides, making them suitable to both baking and roasting. The natural finish on Lincoln Wear-Ever sheet pans is long-lasting and easy to clean.

Serv-U also carries National Sanitation Foundation certified heavy gauge sheet pans. These Vollrath sheet pans have an open bead edge design, so the surface will not hold water. They are constructed of 3004 extra dent resistant aluminum alloy and are also easily cleaned.

Sheet pans are sold in a range of sizes. Serv-U offers full size sheet pans, half size sheet pans, ¼ and ¾ size sheet pans and the option of solid or perforated. Pick the proper sheet pan and your kitchen can handle any recipe.
