what to use instead of parchment paper
Made of flexible, heat-resistant silicon, they are much more expensive than either parchment paper or wax paper, but last for years. Besides lining baking sheets and cake pans, this inexpensive paper can be used for a range of tasks, from pouring ingredients to steaming fish. Parchment paper is treated with silicone, so it is nonstick; it is also heatproof and grease-resistant. It's available bleached (white) or unbleached (brown).
