12 x 3 inch aluminum round cake pan that could also be for pizza -Chicago Deep Dish Pizza!
8x8 baking dish- glass, ceramic or metal
9x13 baking dish with lid- OXO glass (you can also use ceramic or metal)
9 or 10 inch Deep dish pie plate (this would mean it has nice high sides, to accommodate the crust and filling. A great alternative if you do not have a deeper dish pie plate would be to use an 8x8 dish
Angel Food Cake Pan- We will be using one in week 1. An Angel Food Cake pan is different from a bundt pan as it has straight high sides and a non-stick surface because the cake needs to climb. If you do not have one you can certainly borrow one! There are also MANY brands out there starting at around $15 on Amazon + Canadian Tire, and we’ve attached the link above to the one Meg uses from Amazon (again brand does not matter)

BAKING SHEETS/COOKIE SHEETS

*Meg normally uses a HALF sheet pan in classes

Sheet Pan 2 pack set - Nordicware

Half sheet pans are 18x13 inches (this is the size of most standard pans when described simply as baking sheets
Quarter sheet pans are typically 9x13 inches (a standard size for sheet cakes) - Kitchenatics
Full sheet pans are 26x18 inches (too big to fit in many home ovens, but the standard commercial size).
