I get many catalogs and I found loaf pan and round cake pan liners (similar to cupcake papers) at Starcrest of California. They are made of parchment. I used the round cake pan liners the other day and they made it so easy to remove cake layers from their pans! You might want to look into these liners.

I use parchment paper when baking cookies too. I also save bacon grease in the refrigerator. I use it for flavoring veggies and such. Just a small teaspoon in broccoli is so good. Or put a teaspoonful in a frypan,drain green beans . heat up beans and onions and mushrooms with a little garlic powder. Quick and tasty. Lots of uses for it.

I use the bacon grease - we like the flavor it adds to eggs, potatoes, and other vegetables.

We paid for that, too!

I use the preshaped pan liners in the UK from the £ store can't remember if I've seen them in $ doors. They are parchment paper but shaped in the size of various pans and cake tins, also saves washing up :thumbup:

romanojg, that is a great idea. I do that especially when I am using foil to cover something that has tomato sauce on it. The first time I put foil on a plate of spaghetti, I was shocked to see the holes in the foil when I took it out of the refrigerator. Called Reynold's Wrap and they explained about the acid in tomatoes.

I love parchment paper when making chocolate chip cookies. Cleanup is so much easier. Plus I use it as tracing paper when I am quilting.

I also use parchment paper a lot when baking. I use it to sketch out all my quilting projects, and constantly "doodle" and quick sketch with tons of notes.

I too save bacon grease, have it in a container in the refer. I use it for flavoring. It is wonderful with green beans, and a tad in country gravy is great. Everyone saved bacon grease in a container when I was growing up, and I still do.

Another firm believer in parchment paper. A tip: watch for after holiday sales, especially Christmas. I have been lucky enough to find rolls of parchment paper on sale for half or more off, more so if the box has holiday designs on it. The last ones I bought were 70% off at Michaels. Needless to say I bought five boxes and am down to my last 2.

What to do with bacon grease. I have a stainless steel, about one pint, container with a strainer. Got it at an Amish household goods store. I make suet cakes for the birds using some bacon grease and some lard and what ever else I can gather. Bacon grease is not as solid as lard and makes for crumbly cakes if you use too much.
