Baking sheets and trays.

I need some new ones, something with some substance. The cheap supermarkets ones are knackered in a few uses.
Order online preferably. Non-stick.
Ideally OK in a dishwasher - i.e. preferably not roll sided so they dont hold water and rust.

Anyone got any favourites?

i'm almost embarrassed to reply but the answer is that some of it works brilliantly but it's a pain as it's not so easy to just sling in the dishwasher (yes, I know that's a first world problem 🙂 )

not personally - I have to tell the mrs off for baking too much for me 😀 but if you are talking about that bendy stuff that seems to go in the cooker without melting*, it seems to do the trick

* I'm so new man you know

Silicone works for cakes and muffins but IMO biscuits turn out better on a metal sheet. What are you going to be using it for?

Haven't found a good one yet. Avoid stellar. Looked nice and chunky, but turned out to be made of Ultrawarpnon-flatadheretofood™ Also inconveinetly sized for my oven and have a rolled lip that drips water over my feet when taking it out of the dishwasher. 🙁

We've lots of silicone tray liners. They're very good indeed.

You ask a first world question, you're gonna get a first world answer.

Le Creuset, expensive but seriously heavy duty.

Tray liners: the sheets of silicone. They work best if you put them in an oven tray or on a baking sheet.

i just checked and I take it back. Mine is definitely floppy... but it looks like they have some stuff now with metal inside now which would be fine

Liking the pizza tile idea.

But don't do what a friend of ours did and buy a full size/length pizza shovel and then remember that you have a very narrow galley kitchen. No idea what it cost, but looked a lot less authentic after he'd had to cut the handle down to 15 inches 😆

Lakeland ones for sure. On average they last the King household about 4 years, tough, strong, durable and don't warp. I know because I am the cook of the house.

Just watch the anodising in the dishwasher. So far, so good, but I do get bollocked if I don't hand wash it*.

*as with so many things in life....

Heavy duty bakeware from Aldi - £4.50 a piece. Everything has turned out better.

Yes, we are generally buying only that now when we need things. I personally have mixed views about the "cake tin" equivalents but it does work well and the baking sheets are excellent. Much less risk of stuff sticking. It feels like a luxury purchase as it is quite expensive vs traditional non-stick.

(edited for too much use of he word stuff 😳 )

I've given up on non stock and bought enamel baking trays and then use liners.

At least the trays can be given a decent scrubbing.

FWIW, Tesco's 'professional' range ones seem to be holding up well for us.
