Amish kitchens are full of utensils, just like anyone else's. Some Amish kitchens - just like non-Amish - are immaculate without a crumb or a skillet it sight, everything neatly stowed away and perfect. Others are more cluttered with pots and pans hanging from hooks, a half eaten pb&j sandwich on the counter, and crumbs on the floor.
But every Amish cook has their "go to" tools, whether that is a rolling pin or a favorite skillet. One common kitchen tool that isn't often celebrated but is revered: the sheet pan.

The biggest benefit: one main dish to clean. You toss everything on the sheet pan, clean it when done, and that is that. Sheet pans absorb heat evenly so often meals cook up crisp and quickly. Ah, behold the lowly sheet pan!

Sheet pans are also a good choice for roasting meats and vegetables, as the raised edges help to prevent the juices from running out.
