Baking pans are a type of cookware used for baking cakes, breads, and other baked goods. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and the most common type is the tin or aluminum pan. The term 'tins' is a four-letter word that is often used to refer to these pans. Baking pans are essential for any baker, as they provide an even heat distribution and help to ensure that the food is cooked evenly.
