Review on 🍪 Matfer Bourgeat 310101 Black Steel Oven Baking Sheets: Perfect for All Baking Needs! by Travion Woods

This is the American home made version of the large commercial European baking sheet. This is the gold standard for pans. The plates are blue steel rather than black steel, are heavy, have slightly curved sides so you can slip products on and off without damaging them, and have the ability to stick to the plates with magnets. (Rather than having parchment paper fly all over the oven, you can use small magnets to hold the paper in place.) As you would expect, quality products require maintenance. The sheets must be burned in before the first use. (See Matfer Bourgeat's website for instructions. It would be nice if the leaves came with seasoning instructions.) Next, you must avoid using water near the leaves as it can reduce the life of the metal. However, as a professional pastry chef I can say that I love these pans and will always use and recommend them.
