What is a jelly roll pan?

A jelly roll pan (also sometimes called a swiss roll pan) is a type of baking sheet that is larger than a cookie sheet but smaller than a full-sized sheet pan. Here's some key information:

• Size: Typically measures around 10 x 15 inches (25 x 38 cm). Exact dimensions can vary slightly. This distinguishes it from larger sheet pans and smaller cookie sheets.

• Construction: Usually made of aluminum or aluminized steel. May have a non-stick coating.

• Uses:

  • Baking <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/jelly%20rolls">jelly rolls</a> (hence the name!).
  • Making sheet cakes.
  • Roasting vegetables.
  • Baking cookies in larger batches than a cookie sheet allows.
  • Making bar cookies or brownies.
  • Creating thin sponge cakes.

• Sides: Features shallow sides (usually around 1 inch high) to prevent liquids from spilling over but still allows for even browning.

• Advantages: Versatile, relatively inexpensive, and a good size for many recipes. The raised edges help contain ingredients.

• Considerations when buying: Look for a sturdy pan that won't warp at high temperatures. A good non-stick coating can be helpful, but not essential.
