Patent ID: 7765919

Claim:
A baking sheet comprising a sheet of substantially flat heat-resistant material forming a baking surface in a first plane and defining a peripheral edge and a baking area within said peripheral edge, said flat sheet being formed with a plurality of through holes or apertures; a generally upright wall integrally formed with said sheet material and extending along only a first portion of said periphery and defining an upper edge contained within a second plane that is inclined relative to said first plane substantially along a second portion of said periphery thereby providing said upright wall with a variable vertical height relative to said first plane from a maximum predetermined height to a minimum predetermined height relative to said first plane, the baking sheet deflected upwardly from said first plane in proximity to said second peripheral portion in order to accommodate a rolled edge that extends continuously around the entire periphery of the baking sheet, the portion of the sheet deflected upwardly forming a slide-off chute or ramp, wherein the rolled edge that extends continuously around the entire periphery of the baking sheet lies within the second plane, whereby said variable height wall substantially encloses said baking area along said first portion of said peripheral edge, and a baked product can be slid or pushed off into a receptacle without lifting the baked product along said second peripheral portion, whereby condensation that may be formed between said flat sheet and the baked product can be evaporated and evacuated, expelled or removed through said holes or apertures to allow the surface in contact with said flat sheet to bake to a crisper consistency.
