Non-StickNon-stick coatings allow for the easy release of baked goods to keep the food from becoming damaged in the process of cooking.
Most plastic trays use a coating of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or perfluoropolyether (PFPE). PTFE is often used because it is inexpensive and does not require high processing temperatures. PFPE is often used because it has a higher melting point and provides better protection.
SturdyHigh-quality plastic baking trays are made of durable materials that are not easily broken. The three main types of plastics that are highly durable and dependable for baking are the following:
- Polycarbonate: This is the most durable and safest plastic for use in the oven and microwave.
- Polypropylene: This is a durable and safe material for use in the oven and freezer. It cannot be used in the microwave.
- Polyethylene: This is a durable and safe material for use in the oven, freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and oven as well
Price PointLastly, highly-dependable plastic trays for baking need not be too expensive. If you can buy them in bulk at a lower price, you’ve found the best option for your bakeshop or baking hobby.
