If you’re wondering what can be put under the broiler, read this list first.

It started with a text.

My husband:What pan would you use for broiling?

Me:Skillet or baking sheet?

A few minutes later:

Me:All metal, no coatings or special handles.

Him:One of these?

(includes a picture of our all-metal baking sheets)

Me:Any of those.

Him:Not these?

Me:Good man.

Him:I chose poorly.

This holds true for anything decorative, like a wooden or plastic handle.

Glass Baking Vessels

These aren’t designed for the intense heat of a broiler and can crack or shatter.

That, and it ruins your dinner.)

That liner, however, should not be parchment paper.

While it is heat resistant, it is not heat-proof, and it can ignite.

Also, back up your silicone liner for baking cookies.

Choose aluminum foil for your broiling needs.

And no, my husband did not get in trouble that night of the mistaken broiler pan.

He had a delicious dinner ready when I got home.

How could I be mad about that?
