I'm not familiar with these "airfoil" sheets. What kind of payload to surface-area ratios are we talking here? And don't you need a really large oven for runways?

I said one to catch the drippings but, since we should NEVER throw out drippings, and it takes a while to get enough to make a roaster pan full of gravy, we need one for each type of meat we bake (why waste the oven time on cakes,pies, and cookies?) there should be one for each flavor, starting with bacon, which is what the word 'baking' derived from.

I have more than four and of various sizes. I use them for all manner of cooking, baking and broiling.

I also have different sizes of racks. They can be used for cooling and baking.

Wait a sec- wait a sec. Have I slipped down the rabbit hole into some kind of alternative slang-filled metaphorical wonderland?

What are we REALLY talking about?????

Not sure, but I think the silicone is on the inside. But why? Is it a greased-pig kind of thing?

In the Castle, of course.
Actually, the silicone liners are wonderful. Oven mitts are something another gift-giver might not think of with "baking" gifts. And, I second the fire extinguisher. It's the little things that make a difference in a well-stocked kitchen.

Cookies would go perfectly with a chocolate fountain. What's wrong with cookies? You don't like cookies? Send 'em to me. I'll take care of 'em. I'll love 'em, kiss 'em... bite them tenderly, lovingly, take them slowly into my mouth, feeling them melt on my tongue, the crumbs sliding down next to my tongue and down my throat.........

Just...(gasp!)...sayin'
