        <content>I'm looking for an oven tray heavy enough to support an aluminum turkey roasting pan and to be able to bake pizzas,breads etc with a 1/4 to 1/2 ince high rim so that oils or other liquids don't run off.Thankyou</content>

      <content>You can try any restaurant supply store and ask them for a "hotel pan."  I have one of these and it is absolutely INVALUABLE.  It's exactly as you've described.  Indeed I used it under a roasting dish for a 22 lb turkey one year.</content>

      <content>I think what ballulah means is a half sheet tray.  A hotel pan is also nice to have (1/2 hotel pans for most home ovens are great for roasting vegies, etc)but is enerally deeper than 1/4 to 1/2", and not as wide.
A half sheet tray is about a 1/2" deep and works to support a roast/rack as easily as it works for cookies.  Silpats are made to fit in them nicely.
These trays are sturdy, and will not bend like a cookie tray sometimes does.
In the Bay Area we can get them at many restaurant supply wharehouses.</content>

      <content>Sounds like what you want is a "half sheet" pan.  I got mine at a regular cookware store, I've seen them in aluminum and steel.  
  FWIW, they make quarter sheet pans, too.</content>

      <content>Make sure you measure your interior oven size.  Some ovens will not fit hotel pans, while I've never met an oven that wouldn't fit a half sheet pan.</content>

      <content>I actually have met an oven that won't take even a half sheet (and it's not even in an apartment), but it is unusual.  A normal 30" range will hold one with no problem.</content>
