  • Best Feature: Superior air flow delivers wonderfully crisp bases on pastries and  breads.
  • Keep in Mind: Uncoated aluminium requires hand-washing to avoid discolouration or damage.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Severn Bakehouse' in Shrewsbury were finding their sourdough loaves were retaining too much moisture at the base, leading to an inconsistent finish. They needed a tray that could guarantee a crisp, even bake across??? entire range.

"We swapped our old solid trays for these Matfer Bourgeat perforated ones, and  the improvement was instant. Our crusts are now consistently crisp and  beautifully coloured, and  the bake is so much more even. It's a small change that has elevated our signature product."

Robert Davies – Owner & Head Baker

The switch to a perforated baking tray for bakeries helped them eliminate soggy base issues and  improve the overall texture of their bread.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the tray a good wash with warm, soapy water and  a soft cloth, then rinse and  dry thoroughly.
  • For certain doughs, you may wish to season the tray with a light coating of a suitable oil before its first bake.
  • Confirm the 600x400mm dimensions fit comfortably within your oven and  on your cooling racks to ensure good airflow.

Keeping It Going

  • Always wash by hand. Dishwasher detergents are often harsh and  can cause the aluminium to discolour or oxidise.
  • Use non-abrasive sponges or soft cloths only. Metal scourers or harsh brushes will scratch the surface.
  • For any stubborn, baked-on food, soak the tray in warm water to loosen it rather than scraping aggressively.
  • Dry the tray completely before stacking to prevent water spots and  keep it in top condition for years to come.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Baking Tray

Not sure what fits best in your kitchen? Here's a quick rundown to help you choose the perfect baking sheet for your needs.

Material Matters

Aluminium, like this tray, is a fantastic heat conductor for even baking. Stainless steel is more durable but heavier, while non-stick coatings offer convenience but require careful handling to avoid scratches.

Size and  Fit

Always check your oven and  rack dimensions. 600x400mm (Euronorm) is a UK commercial standard, but smaller Gastronorm sizes (like 1/1 GN) are also common for different types of ovens.

Solid vs. Perforated

A perforated baking tray for bakeries is brilliant for bread, pizza, and  pastries where a crisp base is vital. Solid trays are essential for wet batters like cakes, brownies, and  traybakes.

Rim or Rimless?

Trays with a rim or rolled edge, like this one, offer much greater strength and  prevent warping under high heat. Rimless sheets are better suited for sliding off delicate bakes like biscuits.

Gauge and  Thickness

A heavier gauge (thicker) tray is more durable and  less likely to buckle in a hot professional oven, making it a better long-term investment for a high-turnover kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this baking tray dishwasher safe?

A: It's strongly recommended to hand-wash this tray. The chemicals in dishwasher detergents can cause the natural aluminium finish to discolour and  degrade over time.

Q: Can I use this for liquid batters like for a cake or brownie?

A: No, the perforations make it unsuitable for any liquid or very wet batters. It is specifically designed for solid doughs and  food items where air circulation is a benefit.

Q: What is the main benefit of a perforated tray?

A: The holes allow hot air to circulate freely around the entire product and  let steam escape, resulting in a much crispier, more evenly baked crust and  base.

Q: Will this tray warp in a very hot oven?

A: This Matfer Bourgeat tray is made from commercial-grade aluminium with reinforced rolled edges, specifically designed to resist warping at typical professional baking temperatures.

Q: Is the surface non-stick?

A: No, this is a natural finish aluminium tray. For sticky doughs, we recommend using baking parchment, a silicone mat, or seasoning the pan as per your requirements.

Q: What are the exact dimensions?

A: This is a standard Euronorm bakery size, measuring 600mm x 400mm, designed to fit most commercial bakery racks and  ovens.

Q: What is the benefit of aluminium compared to stainless steel for baking?

A: Aluminium is a far superior heat conductor. It heats up much faster and, more importantly, distributes that heat more evenly across the surface, which is key for consistent baking results.

Q: Can I cut directly on this tray with a pizza wheel or knife?

A: We would advise against it. Sharp utensils will scratch and  damage the aluminium surface, which can affect its performance and  longevity.

The Secret to a Crispier Bake: Why Perforations Matter

Ever wondered why some pastries have a perfectly golden, crisp base while others are a bit... soft? The difference often comes down to managing air and  moisture. A standard, solid baking tray can trap steam released from the dough during baking. This trapped moisture has nowhere to go, effectively steaming the bottom of your bake and  preventing it from crisping up.

Think of it like drying your washing. Hanging clothes on a line where air can circulate all around is far more effective than laying them flat on the ground. This aluminium bakery tray 600x400 works on the same principle. The perforations act like a mini-drying rack for your dough, allowing hot oven air to circulate underneath while giving steam a direct escape route. This simple piece of engineering is the key to a drier, crispier, and  more evenly cooked base every single time.
