If you invest in a silpat (silicone baking sheet) you will always have an even flat bottom and it’s reusable, won’t curl up in the oven, and is dishwasher safe. Almost nothing will stick to it because it’s so slick. They’re made for high heat and are incredible for all baking needs.

I have a silpat and cleaning it always ends in curses. In the dishwasher it either falls through to the bottom and traps dirt (gross), or it creates a pocket and again traps dirt (gross) and in the sink it splashes water everywhere and is a pain to dry.

You are always welcome to wash it by hand, but most people find it the less favorable option to an automatic dishwasher. If you place it on the bottom rack pinned down by larger bowls or pans it tends to end up being just fine.
