A cooking aid includes a sheet of flexible burn resistant material and a composition disposed on one face of the sheet. The composition contains a mixture of vegetable or animal oil with a melting point below 20 C., vegetable or animal fat with a melting point above 20 C., and one or more herbs, spices and flavor enhancers.

A cooking appliance includes a cooking compartment with an oven bottom. The oven bottom includes a cooking surface. A cooking member may include the cooking surface. The cooking member may extend from the cooking compartment to the heating compartment. A bottom cover of the oven bottom may include a carrier and the cooking member. The oven bottom with cooking surface may be used in a variety of applications.

A baking sheet formed of a metal planar plate member having a polygon shape defined by multiple sides, having a thickness and periphery, having upper and lower planar surfaces, having a cross-sectional dimension that is an order of magnitude greater than the thickness of the metal planar plate member, a peripheral channel that extends about the periphery of the metal planar plate member, and the peripheral channel being disposed closely adjacent to all sides of the metal planar plate member.

A baking mat with a perforated baking surface and a nonperforated border around the perforated baking surface. The baking mat also includes handles integrated into the nonperforated border. The perforated baking surface may include a fiberglass mesh coated with an addition-cured silicone and the nonperforated border may also comprise addition-cured silicone.

An oven appliance includes a baking stone positioned within a housing at a bottom portion of a cooking chamber. A baffle is positioned within the housing below a lower heating element array. The baffle includes an upper plate and a lower plate. Holes of the upper plate are offset from holes of the lower plate. The holes of the lower plate are contiguous with a regulating air duct of the housing such that a flow of air enters the baffle through the holes of the lower plate. Regulating air exits the holes of the upper plate and is impinged onto a bottom surface of the baking stone in a pattern to regulate baking stone temperature.
