Parchment paper substitute?
I'm making mixed berry pavlova for dessert tonight and just realized I forgot to pick up parchment paper. Is there a substitute or do I need to head back to the grocery store?

I've never found a good substitute for parchment paper. Wax paper melts, tin foil conducts heat wrong, and....that's kind of it for what I could think of.

I was afraid of this - ohhh wellll - who doesn't love multiple trips to the grocery store in one day :(

Aluminum foil conducts heat better than silicone(parchment) and wax. Not necessarily wrong, just different. Wax paper is fine at lower temps, but anything over 350 or so and you could have a potential problem.

Wax paper also has the potential to catch fire... it may look like parchment paper, but it is neither a good, nor a safe substitute.

a SILPAT or any silicone mats are awesome investments.
this, and only this, then never anything else...
