It's about time. For too long this workhorse of the professional kitchen was a chef's secret, helping bear the loads for prep cooks, caterers and big-batch bakers. No more. Sheet pans are popping up in the kitchens of recent grads and grandmothers alike — and not a moment too soon. These sturdy rimmed stainless steel or aluminum sheets are good for so much more than making cookies or rolled cakes. Whether it's serving as a pizza peel or as a corn catcher, there's little this pan can't do.
