Nordic Ware Natural Aluminum Baker’s Half Sheet
Nordic Ware
Natural Aluminum Commercial Baker's Half Sheet Pan
The plastic-free baking workhorse: bare aluminum, steel rim, nothing to peel or flake. Pair with parchment instead of a silicone or nonstick surface.
A bare, uncoated aluminum sheet pan with an encapsulated steel rim, made in the USA. No nonstick coating means no polymer layer to flake into food, ever.
How this score breaks down

- Made in the USA
- Inexpensive and endlessly reusable
Trade-offs
- Not nonstick; parchment or greasing needed for sticky recipes
- Hand wash only; dishwashers discolor bare aluminum
- Bare aluminum contacts food directly; for acidic bakes use parchment
- Retail shrink wrap packaging is likely plastic (unverified)

Free of Nonstick polymer coatings, PFAS-type fluoropolymers, plastic parts

- None. Bare metal has nothing to shed; a coated pan that degrades ends up flaking its polymer layer into food, which this pan cannot do.
