So...

...any guesses to what the box marked Cook Sheet is supposed to be in this screenshot? Other than just random English flavor text, that is.

Could be either cookie sheets or butcher paper, from the looks of Google Image search. (I'd never heard the term before, but then I never had an apartment with an oven over there.)

The text I put into Google image search just transliterates to "Cook Sheet" in English, so yeah, it looks like that's just what both things are called.

That's pretty normal for baking stuff, I think; an unusual number of the labels in that section of the grocery store tended to be loanword names from English or French. Baking just isn't a big part of modern "Japanese-style" cooking in Japan, so I guess it's natural that the labels would not use Japanese terms.

(I put "Japanese-style" in quotes because, y'know, obviously cake and bread are a big part of Japanese cuisine, but people tend to single that stuff out as "not Japanese" in conversation.)

Either meant to be cookie sheet or.... I dunno. Sheets of paper about cooking?

Over on DW, someone guessed Silpats (silicone baking sheets) or parchment paper, which might fit.

I'd guess maybe baking trays or something?
