Wait! Don’t Take Out That 9×13 (There’s a Better Version for You)

Deep 9×13 pans may work best for lots of foods, but sometimes, a shallow 9×13 pan is better.

Pesach is coming, and your pantry may be stocked with lots and lots of 9×13 pans, so you can fill them up and fill your freezer.

But wait. Do you want to conserve that freezer space? Foods like brownies, cakes, lots of other desserts, and any kinds of kugel that don’t have so much height are better baked in shallow pans. With less air between the food and the lid, they’ll also stay fresher.

There’s a lot to prep. Save that freezer space for food, not air!

      Any kosher supermarket or plastic wholesale place sell them.

    And here I clicked the link because good shallow 9*13 pans haven’t been available in Israel since Big Deal closed down. I stocked up with insane amounts in advance but am running low…. I’ve been baking using the Israeli ones with a small sheet pan underneath, but it’s really a stopgap solution, and they don’t stack as well in the freezer. Does anyone have any more suggestions?

      The only solution we have is to use 2 Israeli pans stacked one in the other.
