How Commercial Baking Trays & Pans Work

Ever wondered what makes commercial baking trays different from your home kit? It starts with materials—professional baking pans typically use commercial-grade aluminium, carbon steel, or aluminised steel that conducts heat rapidly and evenly. This ensures your pastries, bread and cakes bake consistently without hot spots. Many feature reinforced rims that prevent warping at high temperatures (up to 250°C in commercial ovens). Non-stick coatings or silicone treatments make food release a doddle, while perforated options allow air circulation for crispy bottoms on bread and pastries. These trays are designed to slot perfectly into standard Gastronorm-sized racks—making your kitchen workflow seamless!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Baking Trays & Pans

For perfect results every time, season new aluminium baking sheets before first use by washing, drying, and lightly coating with vegetable oil before heating. Allow trays to cool before cleaning to prevent warping, and avoid harsh scourers on non-stick surfaces. Stack with baking paper between trays to prevent scratching, and consider rotating trays halfway through baking in older ovens that might have temperature variances. Store flat rather than on edge to maintain their shape over time.
