Hi everybody,
I was wondering what the difference is between Aluminium foil and baking sheet when cooking in the oven.
I never cook cakes. I mainly use aluminium to bake breaded chicken breasts, burgers etc.
I do find that sometimes the aluminium sticks to the food and was wondering whether I should just spray olive oil or use a baking sheet instead.

One of the biggest differences will be thickness VS temp. on the type of pan, sheet, or foil. Generally the thicker the sheet pan the more even the heat will be while cooking. Thinner material will have a tendency to burn in spots and unevenly. I do like to put foil on my sheet pans to make clean up a breeze sometimes and yes I do spray it with some oil. Oil not only will help the food release it will sometimes help crisp up some foods too.
Cheers
