Mid-gauge steel with PTFE nonstick. $10-15. Most common budget nonstick option. PTFE degrades above 500°F and with metal utensils. Replace every 2-3 years. Best for occasional baking where nonstick is the priority.
The Wilton Nonstick half sheet is the pan most people start with: cheap, available in any grocery store, and genuinely nonstick out of the box. The steel gauge is on the thinner side, so the pan flexes when you lift it loaded and tends to develop a slight curve after a year of regular use. The PTFE coating works well for cookies and biscuits but degrades above 500°F and scratches if you use metal utensils on it. Treat it as a two-to-three-year consumable rather than a lifetime tool and it makes sense at this price. It is fine for occasional bakers and people who do not want to deal with parchment paper.
