came out looking nice:)
That looks buttered? I just wad it up tight, then smooth it out. Stays put.
It gets even better – as you buy new pans, banish rounded corners from your life.
I saw, on an episode of Jamie Oliver long age, he ran parchment paper under the tap, squeezed out the water, then lined the pan. I’ve done it ever since. I never grease the pan What’s the point?
I’m lazy i crumple up my baking paper and mold it into shape
the only time I tried the cutting method was for lemon bars, the curd leaked through the cuts and got underneath the parchment and the shortbread crust I had pressed into the pan…
What’s the trick? I missed it.
Flat parchment paper

I love using that trick.
Okay, so I am not sure what I am looking at here. I’ve been hearing/seeing the use of parchment paper for ease of removal, is that what this is? I’m 60 and grew up in the restaurant/bakery business but we didn’t need to display the cake as a whole but would retrieve one serving at a time.
Round pan? Cut a rough square slightly larger than the circle. Fold in half a few times so it forms a triangle. Keep the triangle point. Point in the center of the pan, cut to the edge. Unfold. Perfect circle for the bottom of the pan.
A kid showed me this. Game changer.
Scrunch the paper into a ball, then open it out. It is easier and much quicker this way.
I always just crinkle it.. in fact coincidentally I just did a batch of brownies tonight and did exactly that.
What’s the trick?
I don’t paper the sides of things. I only cut the paper into the shape of the bottom, and grease the sides. It’s really only the bottom that needs it.
In the (very rare) case that something DOES stick to the side, it’s super easy to run a knife or spatula around it to free it, and then it never sticks to the bottom because of the paper.
I feel like people make this more complicated than it needs to be.
Some of you never made 3D geometric shapes out of paper at school, and it shows
It was me… NOW SHMOOCH ME WITH YOUR MOOSHERS!!
Sometimes just a thank you is enough.
I didn’t teach you… but I still wouldn’t say no…. 😉
Did you grease under the paper??
Also, you can just fold a couple creases in so you get a single flap on the outside of each corner instead of cutting the paper. Works better when you have a more slack batter
😘
Why am I so nervous to try this for a cake? I feel like it would still stick to the paper or break
LOL. That was me. You asked in my post on my version of “Kath Bars,” and I gave you a youtube link.
