Think of it like this: parchment paper is that friend who’s great at parties but might bail when things get intense. It’s handy, but not always reliable. By mixing in some of these alternatives, you can make your kitchen safer without sacrificing convenience.

So next time you grab that roll of parchment paper, just take a second to think. Is it the best tool for the job? Or could one of these alternatives be a better choice? Your food—and your peace of mind—might thank you.
