In my mango dessication project I am seeing m,y need for a non-
reactive glass or ceramic baking sheet, preferably with raised edges
like my old steel baking sheets. Google does not seem to know what
"glass baking sheet" means, and turns up all kinds of crap, like
Cephalon, Pyrex *steel* baking sheets, etc.

Does anyone know of a good source for true glass or ceramic coated
steel baking sheets? About 12x16 inches or so would be best.

Thanks!

I found one:

http://www.purenature24.com/shop/a27...eet-large.html

and it measures 13.5 x 16.75 inch, but I'll bet that's the measure of
the edges and not the "inside" space.

Just wondering if there are more different kinds available.

I may have to go with ceramic coated baking pans, like this one:

I have never heard of a glass baking sheet. What about the glass in
your microwave? My old one did not have a turntable, so it had a
square glass plate on the bottom...

Brilliant, Merry. We kept the glass plate from our Amana RadarRange. It
makes a fine liner to protect the kitchen shelf where the houseplants live
(and thrive). Polly

Good thinking on your part also!

A "glass baking sheet" would be a pan.

Have you considered a silicone liner for your metal baking sheets?
(Apparently silicone sheets are not stiff enough to be used on their
own, like metal.)

I prefer to keep glass out of the kitchen as much as possible. Will
parchment not do the job?

Why don't you just use Silpat??

If you can do without the raised edges, try your local glazier.

I wouldn't put anything in my oven other than borosilicate glass.

I wonder if a pizza stone would fill the OPs bill.

I can get the raised edges put on at my local glass shop. Pretty cheap
if I supply the form. They put flat glass on the form, put them into
an oven (kiln) and sag the glass to shape. Then they have to cool it
very slowly, and it's done. Very little ovenware in the US is
borosilicate glass nowadays. Real borosilicate is suitable for
stovetop use. "Pyrex" is just a brand name now. Corning licenses it
out.

From Wikipedia: "The European manufacturer of Pyrex, Arc
International, uses borosilicate glass in its Pyrex glass kitchen
products; however, the U.S. manufacturer of Pyrex kitchenware uses
tempered soda-lime glass. Thus Pyrex can refer to either soda-lime
glass or borosilicate glass when discussing kitchen glassware, while
Pyrex, Bomex, Duran, TGI and Simax all refer to borosilicate glass
when discussing laboratory glassware."

The "Pyrex" brand name was synonymous with borosilicate glass.
The "Pyrex" brand name was invented just for borosilicate glass.
Using it for cheap lime glass is contemptible.

A pizza stone was what I was thinking, too.

Non-stick coated metal sheet pans are non reactive.
Stainless steel sheet pans are non reactive.

I've never heard of glass/ceramic coated steel baking sheets... best
you're gonna find are shallow glass/ceramic caserole pans.

Normal brained people who want non reactive sheet pans use whatever
fercocktah metal pans they happen to have and they buy a box of
parchment/wax paper.

Parchment for baking is not wax paper. Wax would melt.

Your brain is melted, Thorazine... but that should be no surprise.
One can certainly bake on waxed paper, been for more then 50 years, in
fact I've never bought parchment paper for cooking... at one time I
actually used to save the parchment paper from sticks of butter in my
freezer but never found a use for them so into the trash they went.
Ordinary waxed paper works very well for baking.

Now that's frugal!! I always use parchment...

Corningware used to market ceramic sheets, 20 x 14 inches, a little more than
1/8" thick. Smooth top, rippled bottom, with five glued-on rubber feet. They
were intended to be large hot plates, etc. I don't know what they called them.

One problem with them has always been that the rubber feet always come off. I
have two of these, without rubber feet, and have used them to bake cookies and
breadsticks, and to make candy, in a pinch.

The odd thing is that I thought of these, and actually got up to go measure one
in the kitchen, before it dawned on me that I had one sitting right here on my
lap! I regularly use it as a laptop desk, and sometimes as a temporary
whiteboard. Damned handy things to have around. 8

Anyway, you should be able to find these on ebay.

Ah, they were marketed by Corelle and Corning as "Counter Savers," in both the
large size I have and 14" x 10". They came with various patterns, as well as
plain (which mine are). There are indeed a number available on ebay.

I have two of the 14 x 20 and yes they are handy. Ordinarily they stay on
each side of the kitchen sink; easy to clean and nearly impossible to
damage. Just now, one is serving as a bridge between one sewing machine
table and its neighbor. Polly

They sound like a glass hot pad that I have, and on mine, the
decorative sheet underneath is starting to peel off. I've already
replaced the rubber feet that came off from repeated washings.

Any suggestions about the peeling issue?

I believe this is what you are looking for. I don't have any further information, only that it came up in my searches.
http://www.earthchef.ca/earthChefBakeware.html

I am still looking though. I was hoping to find one that was entirely ceramic, and not just coated with ceramic.
Xtrema & Mercola both have ceramic bakeware, but not a baking sheet.
