Baking Sheet Question

[Green Lady]

I use unbleached parchment. It withstands a higher temp and there is no chlorine to leach into your food.

I am thinking of getting the silpat. Does Costco carry them? I have become a Costco fan since they moved to my town last Nov.

I bought 4 heavy duty aluminum sheet pans that m brown posted a couple of years ago, and they are just super! No buckling or warping with these..

All my older ones were either non-stick or stainless steel, and none of them worked that good..
Especially if you put frozen items on them to bake.. Stupid things would warp like crazy after putting them in the oven..

When I make cookies I use the heavy duty sheet pans upside down.. That way, theres no sides to interfere with the heat circulation in the oven.. Not to mention it saves me from buying rimless sheets for cookies.
Works like a charm!

the result you get with a silimat is much better than any paper, because the mat is much heavy than a parchment paper meaning whatever you place on the mat will lie flat and not be affected with a fan assisted oven,also because the mat is a good conducter of heat you will always get an even cooking but not overcooking on the underneath of the procduct, if that makes any sense, hopes this helps
