Baking

The main difference between a baking pan and a baking tray lies in their shape and intended use. A baking pan typically has raised sides and comes in various shapes (like square, rectangular, or round), making it ideal for dishes that contain batter or liquids, such as cakes, brownies, casseroles, or lasagna. In contrast, a baking tray is flat with low or no sides, designed for baking items that don’t need to hold liquid, like cookies, pastries, or roasting vegetables. Both are essential, but they serve different purposes based on what you're cooking or baking.

All Tramontina baking trays are oven-safe! Always check our Care & Usage tab for each product recommendation for individual items.

To care for your non-stick baking trays, avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scrubbers that can scratch and damage the coating. Instead, use soft sponges or cloth with mild dish soap. Always let the tray cool completely before washing to prevent warping, and avoid sudden temperature changes like rinsing a hot tray with cold water. Store trays carefully to prevent scratches, and occasionally season the surface with a light coating of oil to maintain its non-stick properties.
