Material construction

Baking trays are typically constructed from aluminium, aluminised steel, or stainless steel for durability and heat conductivity.

Coating options

Many units feature non-stick coatings, such as PTFE or silicone, to facilitate product release and cleaning.

Edge design

Commonly found designs include flat sheets, rimmed trays, and perforated trays, each suited for different baking requirements.

Gauge/Thickness

The thickness of the metal typically varies, with heavier gauges offering greater durability and resistance to warping.

Heat resistance

Units of this type are designed to withstand typical commercial oven temperatures, often up to 250°C or higher.
