In case anyone's still looking, I just picked up the 10 x 15 jelly roll pan made by USA pans and have been very impressed with it, it's solid, heavy and cleans up like a dream. Best price I've seen is Bed Bath & Beyond for $9.99, about $7-8 after coupon (not all BBY stores have them, so check first). Sur La Table also carries this line (branded with their name) and the same company makes the goldtouch bake ware for Williams Sonoma.

I'd suggest shiny aluminum, and you can find professional grade at a Restaurant Supply Store that will keep it's shape. Flimsy pans that are this large can warp.

I have jelly roll pans in two sizes because I have recipes for both.

10-1/2 x 15-1/2 x 1 (10-cups)

12-1/2 x 17-1/2 x 1 (12-cups)

The half-sheet pans are most versatile, that's the largest size Grainlady mentioned. You can also get them at WalMart, $7 or $8 each. Get several.

Mushroom Spinach Souffle Roll - should I make a red pepper coulis
Q

I don't know where you got that recipe, but it'/s pretty much exactly what I do. And it reheats very well. When you make the spinach filling, put the squeezed chopped spinach on a board and chop again with a chef's knife. Sometimes there are strings that prevent you from cutting the finished product neatly....and when yous autee the veggies for the filling....besure they have most of the water fried out.....then I add back a splash of sherry wine....and I often sub about 2 oz blue cheese for 2 oz of the cream cheese....or more if I have a b lue cheese loving crowd. The coulis sounds wonderful!! I do a sweetish tomato sauce....pretty well just canned tomatoes and onions and red pepper cooked down with a bit of sugar.... But the red pepper sounds better! It's a beautiful dish and makes a dynomite presentation....not to mention it's yummy! Linda c

sheet pans...(am i crazy!?)
Q

A jelly roll pan is 10x15 give or take a half inch. A 1/2 sheet pan is larger as posted above. We often call the 1/2 sheet a 'jelly roll' referring to the high sides. Most jelly roll recipes call for a true jelly roll pan, 10x15. (ish) We also just call them cookie sheets but a 1/2 sheet is used more often for baking of savories like roasted potatoes, etc. as the high sides keep the items in the pan. If we have them, we have 1/2 sheets as they are more available. My restaurant supply has them. When i called and asked for a 'true' jelly roll pan, they said yes, they have the one that is smaller than a half sheet and knew what i meant. phew. Now i need a new roasting pan, lol. My new wall oven is european sized and a bit smaller than what it replaced...same issue with exterior dimensions because of the big side handles but i found one easily. I do read reviews and toss out the odd ones but when it comes to wrong info i'm a bit surprised that the supplier does not correct it (unless it is intentionally deceitful) It does create unnecessary returns and unhappy customers. Especially when one is highly recommended and says USA made but is now made in China with poorly rolled edges that are sharp. And warps, and arrived with dents.

half sheet pans are great as cookie sheets or for a recipe that calls for that size pan...I think I only have 2 that do.
But a standard "jelly roll pan" the size that you would actually bake the sponge cake for a jelly roll or the chocolate cake for a buche de noel or for a rolled souffle....or even many brownie recipes.
A standard jelly roll pan is 10 1/2 by 15 1/2 a half sheet pan is 12 by 17.
And check your oven....I have 2 ovens and the half sheet pans won't fit into the smaller oven.

Mine pans are 12x17 and I only have one oven, so one will fit in perfectly.

Mine are shiny aluminum, PolarWare, made in the USA. I have half a dozen of them because I use them for everything from Texas sheet cake to baking rolls for family dinners to roasting big bunches of vegetables. A triple batch of brownies fits just bout right and I've used them to make pumpkin rolls at Christmas , although I don't make graditional jelly rolls very often. I also use them to bake cookies. Mine came from Sam's Club, less than $10 for two.

LindaC:

I wanted to let you know that the info you provided was a big help to me. I had a recipe that said to use a "jelly roll pan" but did not indicate what size. I have at least two different sizes of what look like jelly role pans. But since you said "a standard jelly roll pan is 10 1/2 by 15 1/2" that gave me a good indication which one to use, and the recipe ended up turning out great. So thanks!

Glad to hear that....not much worse than using too big a pan and baking a "cake cookie"...!Even worse than using too small a pan and having it spill out the sides!
