Baking pan

A baking pan is like a special kind of plate that you can put in the oven to cook things. It's usually made out of metal or glass and it's really important for making all kinds of yummy baked foods like brownies, cakes, and even roasted veggies.

Just like you need a plate to eat your food off of, you need a baking pan to cook your food on. Baking pans can come in all different shapes and sizes too, like round, square, or rectangular. Some baking pans are also made with special non-stick coatings so that your food won't stick to the pan, making it easier to clean up afterwards.

When you're ready to use your baking pan, you first preheat your oven to the right temperature. Then, you prepare your ingredients and mix them together in a bowl. Next, you pour the mixture into the baking pan and put it in the oven to bake. When your food is done, you take the baking pan out of the oven (with oven mitts to protect your hands from the heat!) and let it cool off for a little bit before cutting or serving.

So, just remember: a baking pan is like a special plate you can put in the oven to make delicious baked foods!
