An airbake sheet is two aluminum sheets attached together with a space
of air between them. I don't know if they're what you need or not?
I like restaurant quality jelly roll pans for my cookie sheets.
A "half sheet" is half the size of a restaurant cookie/jelly roll pan.
More "home sized" I guess? Haven't you ever ordered a sheet cake from a
baker and they ask you "full sheet, half sheet or quarter sheet?" Those
are sizes.


As for the stone you put the item to be baked directly on it. It
provides extra heat to the bottom to give it a nice crust. Doesn't sound
like you need one, eh?
