USA Pan Cookie Sheet

 

Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to upgrade mom's baking sheets and get rid of the ones she's been using since you were a child. Not only do older pans have a higher risk of containing toxic chemicals, they also don't bake as evenly as updated baking sheets do!

We love our USA Pans because their unique fluted design allows air to flow beneath your baked goods which will allow for more even baking and maximizes pan strength to help resist warping. These pans are available in a few different sizes, but we recommend starting with a couple of half sheets, which should fit perfectly in most standard ovens!

Combining pastry dough is so much easier with a good quality pastry blender. It is perfect for mixing ingredients and tackling tasks that require more muscle, like blending thicker batters and heavier doughs. The sturdy, flat blades quickly cut in firmer ingredients, like butter, shortening, and cream cheese, breaking them into smaller pieces while blending wet and dry ingredients evenly throughout the dough for a better taste and consistency. Your mom will thank you every time she uses her pastry blender to make a pie crust or pizza dough!
