My Parchment Paper Hack Is Just 8 Cents

I make a lot of sheet pan meals. They’re easy to throw together and even easier to clean up, especially when I insist on protecting my cookie sheets with parchment paper. Rather than soaking and scrubbing an oily pan after dinner, I toss the parchment in my trash can, slide the cookie sheet back in its slot, and get on with my night.

I’ve done it the same way for over a decade and there’s only ever been one downside: forcing a piece of paper with a well-known penchant to curl to lie flat. I thought it was something I would just have to get over until I discovered pre-cut parchment paper. For just 8 cents apiece, this simple swap has not only changed my dinner routine, but also that of thousands of Amazon shoppers.

Katbite Pre-Cut Parchment Paper Sheets, 200 Pieces

Amazon

Who knew such an easy solution could impress so many people? All 10,000-plus of us are in awe of Katbite’s perfectly sized 12- x 16-inch parchment sheets with their flat design and affordable price. One reviewer called them “staples” in their kitchen, adding that a “box of 200 goes a long way.” Another shopper dubbed them a “game-changer” and wrote that they will “never go back to roll[ed] parchment that curls and doesn’t lay flat.” And a third promises that dinner will be “a breeze to clean up,” thanks to the brand’s heavy-duty texture and nonstick surface.

Outside of the obvious pros, Katbite’s pre-cut parchment sheets are also easy to keep organized. The packaging doubles as a storage container with an envelope-like slot that flips open for access and folds closed for safekeeping. The sheets are also available in a range of sizes, so if you don’t typically bake with half-sheet trays, you can grab the brand’s larger 9- x 13-inch sheets or its smaller hamburger patty paper bundle. Regardless of dimensions, they’re all oven-safe up to 450°F and suitable for use in air fryers and freezers alike.

Now that I’ve found these pre-cut parchment sheets, I’ve perfected my dinner routine. And for just 8 cents apiece thanks to an onsite coupon, so can you.
