  • Pro: Excellent heat conductivity and  a very sturdy, warp-resistant build.
  • Con: It's not non-stick, so you'll always need to use liners.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Bakehouse in Cheltenham needed to replace its collection of mismatched, warped baking sheets that were causing inconsistent bakes and  slowing down their morning service.

"We switched all our old trays to these Matfer Bourgeat ones and  the difference was immediate. They heat so evenly, and  sliding the morning's croissants off is so much faster thanks to the sloped edge. No more catching or breaking pastries during the morning rush!"

Robert Davies – Head Baker

The bakery now gets its first batch of pastries out 15 minutes earlier, improving workflow and  reducing product wastage by an estimated 10%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the tray a good wash with warm, soapy water and  dry it thoroughly.
  • Always ensure the tray is completely dry before storing to prevent any water marks.
  • For best results, we recommend lining the tray with baking parchment or a silicone mat.

Keeping It Going

  • The tray is dishwasher-safe, but for longevity, hand-washing can be gentler.
  • Avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the aluminium surface.
  • Don't use sharp knives directly on the tray's surface to prevent deep scratches.
  • Store flat to maintain its shape and  prevent any accidental damage.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Baking Tray

Not sure which baking tray is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider.

Material Matters

Aluminium is a fantastic choice for professional baking as it conducts heat quickly and  evenly, preventing hotspots and  ensuring a consistent bake across the entire tray.

Size and  Compatibility

Check your oven and  racking dimensions. The 600x400mm size (Gastronorm 1/1) is a UK and  European standard, ensuring it will fit most commercial equipment.

Edge Style

Trays can have lipped edges to contain liquids or inclined edges like this one, which are specifically designed for easily sliding off solid baked goods like pastries and  biscuits.

Thickness and  Durability

A thicker tray (like this 2mm one) is far more resistant to warping at high temperatures. Cheaper, thinner trays will often buckle, leading to uneven bakes.

Brand Reputation

Brands like Matfer Bourgeat are specialists in professional catering equipment. Investing in a reputable brand often means better longevity and  performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this aluminium patisserie tray non-stick?

A: No, this is a traditional aluminium tray. For best results and  easy release, we highly recommend using baking parchment or a reusable silicone mat.

Q: Will this tray warp in a hot oven?

A: Thanks to its 2mm thickness and  quality construction, this tray is highly resistant to warping under normal commercial oven temperatures.

Q: What is the maximum oven temperature for this tray?

A: Aluminium trays like this are generally safe up to at least 250°C (480°F), making them suitable for almost all baking applications.

Q: Can I use metal utensils on it?

A: It's best to avoid sharp metal utensils like knives, as they can scratch the surface. Metal palette knives or spatulas are generally fine.

Why the Inclined Edge is a Baker's Best Friend

Ever tried to slide a delicate, freshly baked almond croissant off a tray with a sharp, 90-degree edge? It can catch, tear, or crumble, which is the last thing you want. The 'inclined edge' on this tray is a subtle but clever design feature that solves this problem. Think of it like a tiny, built-in ramp for your pastries.

Instead of a harsh vertical lip, the edge is gently sloped. This means you can get a palette knife right underneath your bakes, or even just tilt the tray, and  they'll glide off smoothly onto the cooling rack without snagging. It’s a simple piece of engineering that protects your hard work, reduces waste, and  makes service just that little bit quicker and  less stressful.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Artisan Bakeries: Perfect for proving and  baking everything from croissants to delicate macarons with consistent results.
  • Hotel Kitchens: An essential for the pastry section, handling high-volume breakfast pastries and  dessert prep.
  • Catering Companies: A lightweight yet robust aluminium baking sheet for easy transport and  reliable performance on-site.
  • Culinary Schools: Ideal for teaching students with industry-standard equipment that is built to last.
