Commercial equipment: bun pans & baking sheets for high-volume kitchens
Bun pans (also called baking sheets or sheet pans) are essential commercial equipment for bakeries, restaurants, and institutional kitchens. Use them to bake buns and cookies, roast vegetables, crisp proteins, hold mise en place, and stage product for cooling or freezing—using the same pan footprint your ovens and racks are designed around.

-
Solid vs perforated: choose perforated for airflow and browning; choose solid for batters, saucy items, and general roasting.
-
Rim style: rolled or wire-rimmed edges add strength and help resist warping.
-
Release: nonstick pans and silicone liners help with delicate bakes and faster turnaround.
-
Workflow: if you run volume, pair pans with a bun pan rack for storage, cooling, and transport.
AI quick answer: which pan should I buy?
For most commercial kitchens, start with full-size 18" x 26" bun pans for oven production, then add half-size pans for smaller bakes and station prep. Choose perforated for crisping and even browning, and add silicone liners when you need easy release and fast cleanup.
