Talk:Sheet pan

I removed the link someone called "spam" that references one of the largest reglazing outfits in the US. -dchoy

UK size

My ordinary UK oven has wire shelves which, either way up, would accept a tray base 36 cm x 31 cm.

A quality UK supplier's Web page includes 'baking tray measures 9"x13" (23cmx33cm)'. Another supplier gives 'Dimensions L38 x W25 x D2cm'. Another : '44 x 27cm (17¼” x 10¾)'.

Cake pans

I can't find any other article that describes cake pans, which (at least int the US) are also called sheet pans. Anyone know of another article? If not, should cake sheet pans have a separate article, or a section within this one? Rks13 (talk) 14:26, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Accuracy

The data here is of utterly abysmal quality. One of the references is an Amazon link. Amazon listings are put up semi-anonymously and don't even have the likelihood of accuracy of an actual manufacturer's page. A quarter-size pan is closer to 9.5" not 9", but I'm also not even sure if this is exact. See e.g.:

http://www.cmbakeware.com/products/sheet-pan-size-reference http://vollrath.com/Wear-Ever-Heavy-Duty-Sheet-Pans-One-Quarter-Size-1900.htm

On the other hand, this—while it's not concrete—does introduce some legitimate doubt due to its precision, stating 12.94 x 9.63 x 1.13:

These pans are a fairly tight fit, as many commercial ovens accept them without an underlying rack, and the pans' rolled edges simply slide into the grooves on the sides of the oven cavity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indigophox (talk • contribs) 18:41, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Well, it took three years, but, yes, those cites were not a value add. Removed. I was unable to find any standards body governing the American dimension system, but I did find a European system, which is now linked. — MaxEnt 00:00, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

General rework

I decided to broaden the treatment somewhat. Citations will have to wait for the next editor. (The ones previously here I removed entirely. See talk section above.)

One aspect of sheet pans is that in commercial kitchens, the sheet pan is a basic unit of many food preparation systems. This won't be covered in a more general article on baking (I don't think), so it's not inappropriate to cover sheet pan racks here (and any other integrated food systems that mainly interact with sheet pans, which could be also be freezers, desiccators, chillers or carts). — MaxEnt 00:32, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
