Bakepan

/ˈbeɪkpæn/ noun

Definition

A flat or shallow pan or tray used in an oven for baking cookies, bread, or other baked goods.

Kelly Says

The darker your bakepan's color, the faster it absorbs heat and crisps the bottoms of your baked goods—that's why professional bakers obsess over pan choice!
