A pan for baking e.g. single-serving-sized food product is adapted to promote substantially even heat distribution, to shield the food product from excessive browning and crisping, and to substantially prevent burning. The pan accomplishes these functions by utilizing one or more structural features, including, for example, perforations, sloped, variable-height walls and a sloped arcuate rim. Embodiments of the invention may be used in combination with a separator to stack and store food product in a heated or cooled receptacle, and in combination with a slicing/topping guide.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A pan for baking a food product in a baking oven, the pan comprising:a generally planar base having a top surface to receive a food product, a bottom surface to rest upon a surface of the baking oven, and at least a pair of sides;a pair of sidewalls extending along the sides of the base and meeting at an apex; anda substantially arcuate rim extending between the sidewalls;wherein the pair of sidewalls each have a first height at an apex and a second height at an end opposite the apex and proximal the rim, further wherein the first height is greater than the second height, wherein the arcuate rim has a third height, the third height being less than the second height; andwherein the sidewalls intersect the plane of the base at an obtuse angle extending along the sides of the base.
