Big Sheet Baking Pan 16in x 22in - Heavyweight 19-Gauge Commercial

Our review of the Mrs. Andersons Heavyweight Big Baking Pan looks at whether this oversized, commercial-grade sheet is worth adding to a home baker's toolkit. Bottom line: this pan is for home cooks who want a true commercial-size surface that fits standard ovens and delivers consistent browning, thanks to heavyweight 19-gauge aluminum and even heat transfer. It is especially useful for batch baking cookies, sheet cakes, rolls and one-pan savory dishes, and the reinforced beaded rim helps it resist warping through repeated use.

Key Features

• Heavyweight construction: 19-gauge aluminum provides a sturdy, durable surface that handles high-heat baking and thousands of uses without losing its shape.
• Large commercial size: At 16in x 22in, this pan gives two-thirds of a full sheet surface that still fits most standard home ovens for larger batches and one-pan meals.
• Reinforced beaded rim: The beaded edge prevents warping during heating and handling, keeping the pan flat for even baking results.
• High heat tolerance: Heat safe to 480-degrees Fahrenheit so it can be used for a wide range of baking tasks from cookies to roasted vegetables.
• NSF approved and rust resistant: Commercial-grade finish that will not rust and meets food-safety standards for home or small-scale professional use.
• Compatible accessories: Fits Mrs. Andersons non-stick silicone big pan baking mat and cooling rack (sold separately) for easier cleanup and cooling.

Who It's For

This pan is ideal for home bakers and small-scale caterers who need a larger-than-standard tray for batch baking cookies, rolls, sheet cakes, and mixed sheet-pan dinners. The sturdy 19-gauge aluminum and beaded rim suit users who bake frequently and want a pan that resists warping and transfers heat evenly for consistent browning.

Those who prefer nonstick or dishwasher-safe bakeware, or who rely on aggressive metal scrapers, should look elsewhere; this pan is intended to be used with parchment or a baking mat and cleaned gently. If you need a non-stick coating or a smaller, lighter pan for occasional use, a different model may be a better fit.

Pros & Cons
