Cake pans, pie pans, and bread pans are just a few examples of the many types of baking pans that fall under the category of "bakeware," which is intended for use in the oven (for baking). An excellent baker, like any artist, learns what they need and grows their toolkit. A decent baker works with what they have. There are many distinct kinds of bakeware, including casseroles, roasting pans, round pans, square pans, rectangle pans, tube pans, bundt pans, jelly roll pans, loaf pans, and springform pans.
