It's half the size of a full bakery sheet, and it has become just as indispensable in home kitchens as in professional ones for a simple reason: it's big enough for a whole dinner and small enough to fit in a standard oven.
The sheet is made of pure, uncoated aluminium that conducts heat quickly and evenly, so a whole sheet of biscuits gets the same colour from corner to corner and roasted vegetables get a proper sear instead of going soggy. The rim is reinforced with an encapsulated galvanised steel ring, so the sheet holds its shape and doesn't warp in the oven, even at high temperatures. The low rim keeps juices in but lets the heat reach the food.
Use it for biscuits, soft gingerbread, traybakes, focaccia, pizza, roasted root vegetables or a whole sheet-pan dinner with chicken and potatoes. It has no coating that can scratch or flake, and over time the aluminium develops a duller patina that just shows it's being used. Line the sheet with baking paper or a silicone mat when baking and everything releases easily.
Nordic Ware is the family business from Minneapolis that has been making bakeware since 1946, and the sheets in the Naturals range are still made in the USA.
