My Go-To Baking Pans

The pans I keep are the ones that hold up well, cook evenly, and work just as well for nightly meals as they do for baking on the weekend.

This pan is the one I rely on for everything from casseroles to brownies because nothing sticks and it never warps. After years of use it still cleans up quickly, which makes it worth keeping in reach.

I use this when I want cornbread or snack cakes that feel generous without being too thick. The quick cooling is a bonus since it lets me cut or frost sooner.

This is the pan I trust for layer cakes because the higher sides give the batter room to rise without spilling. The cakes release cleanly which makes stacking and frosting easy.

I keep these in constant rotation for roasted vegetables, sheet-pan meals, and big batches of cookies. The size allows food to spread in a single layer so everything browns evenly.

This pan never leaves muffins stuck to the bottom, even without liners, and that alone makes it a keeper. I like using it for everything from breakfast muffins to mini quiches because the size is so practical.

I love this plate because you can actually see the crust browning through the glass and know when it is ready. It holds its heat well so pies stay warm at the table longer.

This pan gives bread the perfect height without spilling over the sides. The shape helps the bread rise evenly and makes slicing easier.

This pan is my choice when I want something that looks impressive without extra decorating. Cakes come out with clean edges and pretty designs that need little more than a glaze or dusting of sugar.

This makes it easy to get clean edges on tarts and quiches without fighting to lift them out. I like how the bottom pops out smoothly so the crust stays intact.

I use this for cheesecakes and layered desserts because it releases without breaking the delicate filling. The latch is sturdy and never feels flimsy, which gives me confidence every time I bake.

Handy Baking Add-Ons

I’ve found that the small add-ons solving everyday baking hassles are the ones I end up reaching for again and again.

These fit perfectly on top of sheet pans so I can cool cookies or let fried food drain without making a mess. The spacing is just right so nothing falls through but air still circulates well.

It gives cookies even browning and keeps sheet pans looking new. I love that it is reusable which saves money and cuts down on waste.

I like these sheets because they are pre-cut and actually fit the pans without trimming or curling. They save me from scrubbing stuck-on messes and keep cookies from spreading too much.

I use them for everything from brushing butter on rolls to glazing meat on the grill. They clean up easily and last much longer than the old bristle brushes I used to buy.
