Nordic Ware Perforated Sheet

The perforations allow hot air to circulate directly underneath your food, which is essential for achieving a crisp crust on items like pizza, bread, or roasted vegetables. A solid sheet traps steam, which can lead to soggy bottoms, whereas this design ensures even, all-around browning.

This sheet is specifically engineered for crisping and roasting, so it is not recommended for cookies or cakes. The holes will cause batter or dough to leak through, creating a mess and ruining the bake.

No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. The aluminum material can discolor and oxidize when exposed to the harsh chemicals in dishwasher detergents, so we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain its finish and performance.

Nordic Ware designed this sheet with reinforced rims specifically to resist warping. While all metal expands and contracts under extreme heat, the reinforced construction helps this pan maintain its shape much better than thinner, non-reinforced alternatives.

You generally do not need parchment paper unless you are worried about food sticking or want an easier cleanup. If you are roasting vegetables or baking bread, you can place them directly on the surface, but keep in mind that small items might fall through the perforations.
