Cookie Sheets

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 

I'm working on wedding out the unhealthy cookware in my home.  I plan on getting stoneware for bread baking and casseroles and such-but what do you all use for cookie sheets? 

 

Also, what's the best option to replace a deep non stick pan?

No ideas for the deep pan, but for the cookie sheets, how about using parchment paper on top? Makes clean up a snap, too.

I use uncoated stainless steel cookie sheets and love them. I also have a lodge cast iron pizza pan that I use as a cookie sheet and love it, too. They are both true to temperature and clean up easily. 

 

For the deep non-stick pan replacement I would (and do) use uncoated stainless steel.

For a replacement for a deep pan, like for making brownies, cakes and such, I use the Pyrex glassware with silicone lids. I have a medium rectangle one for brownies, and a slightly bigger one that I use for making sheet cakes and dressing, stuff like that. I have been really impressed with the Pyrex with lids and have switched as much of my stuff over to it as I have been able to so far. I'm still looking to replace my cookie sheets, too, so I'm subbing for those replies. :)

We use stainless steel cookware.

 

We use glass bakeware, including pie pans and several sizes of rectangles.

 

We use silicone muffin pans on top of a cookie sheet (for stability).

 

We use various sizes/brands of silicone mats on top of our various sizes of cookie sheets. I found the silicone mats slowly for great prices at a local discount store.

 

We only have ridiculously expensive 24 mini muffin pan and two 9-in round cake pans in the dark nonstick finish (wedding gifts, Caphalon, I believe). If they were cheap, I would have pitched them by now. We don't use them that often anymore, but the mini muffin pan was so useful when DD was younger and I love the 9-inch rounds versus 8-inch rounds. These items are 11-1/2 years old and look brand new...very good quality!

I have a mixture of stainless steel & aluninum for cookie sheets & cake pans & such. I also have some pyrex stuff (pie pans, 8x8" and 9x13" pans). Ideally, someday I'll replace all the alumium stuff I have with stainless and/or enamel... but thats going to be a slow process :p

I use glass and non coated stainless steel. I do have some stoneware but find I don't think it is all it was cracked up to be so never reach for it. My stainless steel baking sheets (jelly pans, they work for everything) are super heavy. My mom got them for me as a Christmas gift from The Pampered Chef.

These Williams Sonoma cookie sheets are the bomb.

I think the best replacement for non-stick pans are cast iron.

I have a pizza stone and tried it for cookies once and did not like it. I got some aluminum sheets at the thrift store and use those with partchment paper. Eventually I would like to get some stainless steel cookie sheets.

I try to reduce my implements where possible - and just use my Pyrex glass dishes (same as I'd use for casseroles or brownies or whatever) as cookie sheets. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

We use reuseable silicone liners on our non stick cookie sheets. I don't like having to throw out parchment every time i bake, which is a lot
