Thanks,

In case anyone's still looking, I just picked up the 10 x 15 jelly roll pan made by USA pans and have been very impressed with it, it's solid, heavy and cleans up like a dream. Best price I've seen is Bed Bath & Beyond for $9.99, about $7-8 after coupon (not all BBY stores have them, so check first). Sur La Table also carries this line (branded with their name) and the same company makes the goldtouch bake ware for Williams Sonoma.

Here is a link that might be useful: USA Pans

I'd suggest shiny aluminum, and you can find professional grade at a Restaurant Supply Store that will keep it's shape. Flimsy pans that are this large can warp.

I have jelly roll pans in two sizes because I have recipes for both.

10-1/2 x 15-1/2 x 1 (10-cups)

12-1/2 x 17-1/2 x 1 (12-cups)

The half-sheet pans are most versatile, that's the largest size Grainlady mentioned. You can also get them at WalMart, $7 or $8 each. Get several.

Nancy, THis sounds like a fantastic thing to put on a pork tenderloin! I agree it looks like a lot of vinegar and sugar to preserve that quantity of garlic and herbs, though I'd probably look for a similar recipe in the BBB and see how the quantities matched, to be sure. But most of the recipes I've seen for wine jellies cook the garlic, herbs, etc. in the wine & vinegar for a while, to impart the flavour, but then strain them out before processing (maybe putting just one little new, fresh piece of herb in at the end just before processing, for good looks). That way you know how strong the flavour is -- some herbs can start to impart a too-strong, even bitter flavour if they sit too long. (And you would have no worries about safety.) Good luck with it!

Mushroom Spinach Souffle Roll - should I make a red pepper coulis
Q

I don't know where you got that recipe, but it'/s pretty much exactly what I do. And it reheats very well. When you make the spinach filling, put the squeezed chopped spinach on a board and chop again with a chef's knife. Sometimes there are strings that prevent you from cutting the finished product neatly....and when yous autee the veggies for the filling....besure they have most of the water fried out.....then I add back a splash of sherry wine....and I often sub about 2 oz blue cheese for 2 oz of the cream cheese....or more if I have a b lue cheese loving crowd. The coulis sounds wonderful!! I do a sweetish tomato sauce....pretty well just canned tomatoes and onions and red pepper cooked down with a bit of sugar.... But the red pepper sounds better! It's a beautiful dish and makes a dynomite presentation....not to mention it's yummy! Linda c

Induction Frying Pan Recommendation where the eggs stay in the middle

Nobody's mentioned this, so I'll put in a plug for my favorite frypan for cooking eggs. It's a cast steel (not cast iron!) pan from Lodge. I warm it on a medium flame, add about a teaspoon or so of oil in the center of the pan, crack the egg into the oil and cook. Sometimes I flip the egg or scramble it a little. The egg slides onto my spatula. Then I add a quarter inch of hot water, scrub around a little with a stainless steel scrubbie, dump the water, dry with a paper towel, and put back onto the turned off burner while I eat my lunch.

half sheet pans are great as cookie sheets or for a recipe that calls for that size pan...I think I only have 2 that do.
But a standard "jelly roll pan" the size that you would actually bake the sponge cake for a jelly roll or the chocolate cake for a buche de noel or for a rolled souffle....or even many brownie recipes.
A standard jelly roll pan is 10 1/2 by 15 1/2 a half sheet pan is 12 by 17.
And check your oven....I have 2 ovens and the half sheet pans won't fit into the smaller oven.

Mine pans are 12x17 and I only have one oven, so one will fit in perfectly.

Mine are shiny aluminum, PolarWare, made in the USA. I have half a dozen of them because I use them for everything from Texas sheet cake to baking rolls for family dinners to roasting big bunches of vegetables. A triple batch of brownies fits just bout right and I've used them to make pumpkin rolls at Christmas , although I don't make graditional jelly rolls very often. I also use them to bake cookies. Mine came from Sam's Club, less than $10 for two.

LindaC:

I wanted to let you know that the info you provided was a big help to me. I had a recipe that said to use a "jelly roll pan" but did not indicate what size. I have at least two different sizes of what look like jelly role pans. But since you said "a standard jelly roll pan is 10 1/2 by 15 1/2" that gave me a good indication which one to use, and the recipe ended up turning out great. So thanks!

Glad to hear that....not much worse than using too big a pan and baking a "cake cookie"...!Even worse than using too small a pan and having it spill out the sides!
