At times to avoid the food from burning, the bottom can be insulated. The sizes can be divided in half and full size sheet pans. Half having the measurement of 9 by 13 and full being 26 by 18. There is a reusable liner called silpat which is made of silicone and therefore the sheets made of this material are known as silicone baking sheets.
