Wilton's Mega Sized Cookie Sheet & Muffin Pan Won't Leave You Wilted! + Recipe Ideas!

   

I don't know about you, but our kids seem to eat us out of house and home sometimes and they are only a toddler and a school aged child! I'll make a dozen cookies or muffins and they are gone before I can say "Would you like a ...?" Ok, so maybe it's not truly that quick, but you know what I mean! What's it going to be like when they are teenagers?! I'm scared of what the grocery bill will be when that time comes! Scared I tell you! 

I started freezer cooking recently and it's been one of the best things ever! You simply take some time to be sure to get all the ingredients for the items you plan to make and freeze. Then you set aside one day to do a large batch of cookies, muffins, casseroles, meals on the stovetop, or to dump all required ingredients in a large Ziploc bags to simply be thawed and thrown into your slowcooker at a later date.

It may seem like a lot until you get the hang of it.  But it's not hard! You're making one mess on that day and it saves you time and money! And it ensures that you always have healthy meals that you can turn to on those days when you aren't sure what to make for dinner, or when you've had a busy day. And if you get your spouse and children involved in helping do the prep work, it takes no time to get everything ready and frozen. All while teaching your kids life skills in the process! 

I recently discovered Wilton's oversized Perfect Results Non-Stick Baking Sheets and Perfect Results Premium Non-Stick 24 Cavity Muffin Pans!  Being able to cook large batches with one tray or muffin tin is a godsend, especially for parents with young kids who don't have the luxury of time. 

Most large sized cookie sheets are approximately 11" x 17". The oversized Wilton Perfect Results Non-Stick Baking Sheet is 15" x 21" gives you a lot more space. Whether you are baking a large batch of cookies, individual pita pizzas or anything in between, you will be able to fit a lot more on there than your typical large sized cookie sheet! This is especially important when making larger batches, or baking for a family that has lots of kids! The cookie sheets are great! So far, we have used them to make cookies, Slow Cooker Jalapeno Popper Chicken Taquitos, (the tomatillo sauce recipe for them is to die for!) and mini pizzas. 

The oversized Wilton Perfect Results Premium Non-Stick 24 Cavity Muffin Pan gives you the power to bake 2 dozen muffins, cupcakes or other items at one time, in one pan! This is great if you are baking muffins for school lunches that can easily be frozen! Or instead of using 2 traditional muffin pans to make 1 batch of boxed cake mix, or waiting until the 1st pan is done baking to re-fill it for a second round, you can do it all in one shot!  You could also bake some Bacon Breakfast Cupcakes to save you some time in the mornings when you are rushed! I found a healthier recipe online to make a basic muffin batter. The recipe gives you the opportunity to mix and match your ingredients at the end so you can use up what you have on hand, or make a few different variations. You can easily double or triple this recipe. This allows you to make only one actual batch of batter, but then split it up in different bowls, and fold in different fruit, nuts, shredded veggies, etc to make a variety of flavoured muffins in one shot! I actually quadrupled the recipe and made a dozen each of Blueberry & Toasted Coconut, Apple Cinnamon, Banana Raisin & Lemon Cranberry. (The basic batter recipe gives you ideas on what you can add to the batter, if you aren't sure where to start.) 

I was happy with the results from both pans after using them for a variety of items. Both the baking sheets and the muffin pans have a limited 10 year warranty, are very sturdy, and have a non-stick coating. You can practically wipe them clean with a paper towel!  Even though they are oversized, they do fit in a regular sized oven. While they are also in fact dishwasher safe, it would be a challenge to get them into a typical residential dishwasher. I could not get it to fit in mine, due to the size of the pan.  You might also have to be a bit creative in terms of finding a suitable storage solution for them, particularly for the muffin pan which is higher. But they should fit in most stove drawers underneath the oven. They do all fit in mine. 

These oversized baking sheets and muffin pans can be found at a variety of retailers such as Winners, Homesense, Kitchen Stuff Plus, Bulk Barn as well as some other stores and independent retailers. Some stores only carry either the cookie sheet or the muffin pan, while some carry both. If you are looking for a specific item, be sure to check online or call ahead to be sure your store carries it. The baking sheets retail in Canada for approximately $18.99 and the muffin pans sell for approximately $22.99.  

Happy baking y'all!
