Is nonstick safe for baking?

Should I get a full sheet, half sheet, or quarter sheet?
The best answer? A mixture of all three. That’s because the size of the sheet pan will come down to your needs—if you’re cooking for a crowd, a full sheet pan will do the trick. For smaller tasks, a half sheet pan will come in handy. It’s also ideal for multitasking, as the size will allow you to bake or roast meats or veggies alongside it in the oven.
If you’re looking to bake just a small batch of cookies or roast a couple of chicken thighs or a few pieces of salmon, a quarter sheet baking pan is the way to—these are great for smaller tasks and are less bulky than the half- and full-size versions.
