I lost mine when I left them in my inoperable wall oven. After
the remodel was complete, it took me a while before I figured
out Hey! where are my cookie sheets?? Uh, in the oven you
didn't clean out?

Same thing happened to someone else here.

When my ex inlaws built a house back in the late 70s, they
included a trash compacter, and next to it a special cabinet
for things like cookie sheets. I forget what you'd call that.
A tray cabinet? Anyway, it was that shape only with vertical
slots instead of shelves. I thought that was really handy.

Cool idea. Not like you can't get rid of them later if you change your
mind.
