Topics:

• What is the best type of baking sheet to use in an oven?
• Is stainless steel bakeware good to use?
• Use cast iron, copper, or aluminum bakeware

Answer:

The best conductors of heat in today's marketplace are aluminum, copper, and cast iron.

• Products made of these materials will produce very even baking and cooking results.
• Products made from aluminum, copper, or cast iron are the same metal all the way through.

• Stainless steel is a combination of two or more metals, so it is unreliable as an even baking surface.
• The bottom and sides of the bakeware heat at different rates, giving uneven cooking performance.
