Anolon Bronze Nonstick Baking Sheet

It’s always great when you find a tool for your kitchen cooking that is versatile. A jellyroll pan is one of those kinds of tools. It isn’t just used for making jellyroll cakes. These sheet pans can be used for countless things in the kitchen. They are sometimes even used in art classrooms as a drying rack for art pieces. You won’t regret spending time to find the best jellyroll pan for your needs.

So, what makes the best jellyroll pan? The important thing to note about a jellyroll pan is the depth. What defines a jellyroll pan is the height of the sides. A jellyroll pan is a sheet pan that has one-inch walls all the way around. You can find them in two popular sizes: 12-inch by 17-inch like the USA Pan Bakeware Half Sheet Pan; and 9-inch by 13-inch. For most recipes, these are the two sizes you’ll want to use.

You might be wondering, what’s the difference between a regular cookie sheet and a jellyroll pan? Cookie sheets don’t need the edges to contain batter. In addition, cookie sheets have slightly different measurements and will make a jellyroll recipe too thin and unable to hold its shape or filling. The jellyroll pan is specifically designed to ensure that the jellyroll recipes can be baked to perfection without crumbling, burning or cracking, particularly in the sizes mentioned above.

Although most recipes call for parchment paper under the batter, you still want to consider the surface of your jellyroll pan. The nonstick surfaces like on the Rachel Ray Nonstick Bakeware with Grips make it easy to get all surfaces of the cake out of the pan without breaking. Because most recipes require the jellyroll cake to cool before filling and rolling, it would be nice to have a large cooling rack to place the cake on.

When you want to try your hand at that jellyroll recipe, don’t compromise on the pan. Find the best jellyroll pan and give your recipe a try. Your family and friends will be thanking you with their mouths full.
