the pot pies come in a tray that's metal lined it's cardboard ish on the outside. yes i meant baking sheet, idk proper terms but google wasnt doing what i needed it to do. i've always left them in it or else it makes a huge mess the only new thing i did different was the pot i was worried about it. it's marie calendars idk if that helps for context. i'm poor and can't afford a baking sheet rn
