| & cookies. Ideas that aren't 100$ a sheet? |
| Huh? What do you mean by healthiest? Just get the standard aluminum ones |
| OP again - I was just reading online what to get and felt totally overwhelmed. Can someone give me the short version? |
OP thinks aluminum sheets are toxic. |

I can. Just get commercial half sheet pans, and a box of flat, half sheet parchment paper. Use parchment paper for everything (cookies, veggies, fish, etc. If you’re roasting a chicken or something you can do foil and then parchment paper). If they get really gross, give them a good scrub.

are they? |
| Bare aluminum pans, just don’t accidentally put them in the dishwasher because they will corrode. USA Pans is my favorite brand |
| USA-made Nordic Ware or American made Pampered Chec Stoneware - which give you amazing roasted veggies! |

+1 for parchment paper. Way healthier than nonstick or Pam spray.
Get a professional quality pizza stone and you can use that, with parchment paper, instead of a sheet pan for most (but not all) purposes. |
That pizza stone will need to heat up in the oven for a long time, which is not very environmental. This is the reason I don’t even own one for pizza making, I just can’t bear the thought of that thing heating up in a 500° oven for an hour before the pizza goes on. Using it for every roasting job would be so irresponsible. The great thing about aluminum or steel is that it heats up very quickly. |
| Do you things brown on parchment paper? I line every pan with aluminum foil (not the nonstick kind), so I really don’t care what my sheet pan is made out of |

Healthiest would probably be cast iron. That’s not what I use, though.
