Disadvantages of Aluminum Foil Pans

There are a few downsides to baking in aluminum foil pans.
While aluminum is considered a metal and is sturdy enough to bake most baked goods, the metal is one that is very malleable therefore it can bend and even crack if you’re not too careful with it.
Also, aluminum foil is recyclable, but because it bends and creases quite easily, it can be hard to clean and reuse. This makes it a less eco-friendly option compared to a regular baking tray.
Lastly, because aluminum is thin and such a good conductor of heat, your food might get heated from the bottom a little quicker when using an aluminum foil pan than it would if you’re baking on parchment paper on a regular tray. Not necessarily a disadvantage, but definitely something to be aware of!
