It doesn’t matter if you consider yourself a cook or a baker; a sheet pan is a must-have in the kitchen. And if you like to cook and bake, you know just how versatile it is. It’s as easy to sling everything onto one sheet pan for dinner on busy weeknights (fastest cleanup ever!) as it is to make cookies or a sheet cake to feed a crowd.
Now, one can argue that the next most important thing when you have a sheet pan is a cooling rack. You don’t want to ruin your counters by setting a hot pan on them willy-nilly, and a rack lets air circulate around whatever you made, cooling it faster and more evenly. Plus, a cooling rack that fits inside a sheet pan can double as a roasting rack.
Well, wouldn’t you know it, The Pioneer Woman has both a heavy-gauge aluminum sheet pan and a wire rack, sold as a set at Walmart. Even better, it’s actually a three-piece set because it comes with a silicone baking mat, too. It’s like having the nonstick protection of parchment paper, but it’s reusable. And get this: It’s less than $24 for the whole set.
You might be thinking, “Gosh, I bet that’s pretty popular given how versatile and affordable it is.” And you’d be right! It’s getting tons of glowing reviews online:
“It's like an all-in-one oven pan,” says a five-star reviewer. “They also clean up easily even though they are not dishwasher recommended. So far, I've cooked bacon on the rack, used the silicone mat for multiple baked goods, and used the rack as a cooling rack. I have also just used the pan to roast potatoes too.”
Other reviewers also say it's great for saving space because the set nests together. “This baking set is compact and perfect for my small kitchen,” says one reviewer. Another agrees, saying “I love that this is well made but remains lightweight. It also stays slim. So it fits very nicely away in the cabinet.”
Many reviews note how the set is a great gift for bakers. It’s also a thoughtful gift for graduates or anyone moving into a new space. And of course, don’t forget yourself. We’re all guilty of sometimes using pans past their prime. So if your go-to sheet pans have seen better days, maybe this is your $24 sign to get a new one. Just think of how much you use it! That’s well worth adding to your cart.
