What's Trending?: The Best New Bakeware Brands of 2025

Achieving a 9/10 score, the Ceramic Non-Stick Bakeware Set stands out as a top choice in premium bakeware with a non-toxic ceramic coating for healthier cooking. High heat tolerance and included storage organizers enhance its appeal, but care is required to avoid scratching the delicate coating. Its relative expense reflects its premium quality, making it best suited for serious bakers who value long-term investment in their kitchen essentials.

For oven-to-table style without sacrificing performance, the Emile Henry Modern Classics Rectangular Baker earned a solid 8/10 in our testing. Its ceramic build retained heat exceptionally well, keeping casseroles and cobblers warm at the table, and the 500°F rating plus dishwasher-safe convenience makes it easy to use and clean. The trade-off is heft and smaller handles, which can feel awkward when hot, and it can chip if mishandled. While it trails our 10/10 Le Creuset for overall polish, the value here is excellent for everyday baking and serving.

If you want a sheet pan that looks as good on the table as it bakes, the Great Jones Holy Sheet delivers style and performance for $45. In our testing, its aluminized steel construction resisted warping at high heat and the custom nonstick made cookies and roasted veg slide right off. At 7.5/10, it trails higher-rated sets like Circulon but beats basic bare aluminum for serve-ready presentation. Just skip metal utensils and consider hand-washing—dishwasher use and rough tools can scuff the colorful finish, and it’s only oven-safe to 450°F.

At $17.98, the Pyrex Easy Grab 4-Piece Set earned a practical 6/10 in our testing for thick, sturdy glass that heats evenly and slides straight from oven to table. We loved the snap-on lids for storing leftovers, and cleanup is easy since the pieces are dishwasher-safe. That said, the plastic lids aren’t oven-safe and can melt if exposed to oven heat, some arrive cracked, and glass demands care to avoid thermal shock. While not our highest scorer, it’s a budget-friendly staple for casseroles and bakes up to 425°F.

Ballarini Scalloped Cake Pans are a great bargain at $38.99, offering a robust CORTAN nonstick coating that withstands high temperatures and ensures effortless cake release. Rated 8/10, this Italian-made set scores highly for its reliable performance in pre-coated steel, which promotes even heating. Despite being dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain quality, making these pans perfect for those who value practicality and style in their baking.

The Chicago Metallic Bakeware Set delivers consistent results, thanks to its heavy-weight carbon steel construction, scoring a respectable 7/10. It features a reliable non-stick coating for easy release, though hand washing is recommended to enhance longevity. While generally durable, these pans advise against broiler usage and sharp utensils. This set is undeniably appealing for everyday baking but requires careful handling to avoid common scratches and extend its lifespan.

All-Clad’s Pro‑Release Nonstick Bakeware Set is our top-rated pick this year, earning a 9.5/10 for flawless, even results from its heavy-gauge aluminized steel. In testing, the ceramic‑reinforced nonstick let cookies slide off and made cleanup quick, and the oversized integrated handles felt noticeably safer when pulling pans from a 450°F oven. The trade-offs: at $259.99 it’s pricey, hand-wash is best to preserve the coating, avoid metal utensils, and it’s designed in the U.S. but made in China—yet it still outperformed USA Pan and budget sets in consistency and longevity.

The Rise Ceramic Bakeware Set is a stylish choice that brings both beauty and practicality to your baking routine. In our testing, its aluminized steel construction offered superior heat distribution, ensuring even cooking without the need for excess oils. While the ceramic nonstick coating allows for easy release, we did notice that careful handling is needed to prevent chipping. Despite its slight weight disadvantage, this set scored a solid 8/10, making it a worthwhile addition to any kitchen.

The Calphalon Nonstick Bakeware Set provides durable, heavy-gauge steel that we found ensures even baking, but some concerns about warping and coating longevity keep it at a 7/10 score. It offers easy cleanup with its dishwasher-safe design, though you might need to be cautious as the nonstick coating may wear over time. If you prioritize ease of food release and minimal cleanup, this set could enhance your baking, yet long-term durability should be considered.

The Pro 5 Piece Non-Stick Set offers potential with its high durability aluminum build; however, it received a moderate score of 6/10 in our testing. The design ensures even heat distribution and easy product release but did show signs of warping under higher temperatures. With greater maintenance requirements to avoid stains, this set remains appealing for those seeking quality and superior performance when handled carefully.

Circulon’s 10-piece set earned an 8/10 in our review for consistently even bakes and painless cleanup at $149.99. The heavy-gauge steel distributes heat reliably, and the raised-circle, double-layer nonstick let muffins, cakes, and sheet-pan dinners release with minimal scrubbing. It’s the highest scorer in this batch and feels notably durable, though the 450°F limit rules out broiling and the PTFE-based coating won’t suit PFAS-averse buyers. If you want a full, dishwasher-safe starter kit, it balances value and performance better than the 7.5/10 Holy Sheet.

Our top-rated pick at 10/10, the Le Creuset Heritage 3-Piece Rectangular Baking Dish Set gave us beautifully even heat, yielding uniformly browned lasagnas, gratins, and roasted veg. The high-fired stoneware and 500°F rating suit most recipes, while the glazed interior behaves nearly nonstick for effortless release and quick cleanup. It's dishwasher-safe, but in our experience gentle hand-washing preserves the finish, and you'll want to unbox carefully since some units arrive fragile. For oven-to-table presentation and performance that outclasses budget steel like Wilton (4.5/10), this set earns its premium price.

Space-savvy bakers will appreciate the NutriChef 6-Piece Toaster Oven Set’s compact, stackable pieces and handy assortment (including a cookie sheet and muffin pan). During our review it scored 4.5/10: despite a 450°F rating and claimed dishwasher safety, many users report rusting after washing and nonstick flaking with light use. We found it useful for small kitchens, dorms, or RVs, but reliability is a concern. Compared with OXO’s 6/10 and Circulon’s 8/10 performers, this $37.99 set is hard to recommend unless you hand-wash and line with parchment.
