Looking to buy parchment sheets on the internet. Thought there was a thread but, as usual, I

can't find it. The last time I bought them from The Baking Queen and was not satisfied with the quality. Where do you folks purchase it?

Grocery store is super expensive!

 
I buy full-size and split down the middle. They come in a box of 1000 sheets

and one full works perfectly when making a pie....I just fold half over the dough to roll and don't have to add extra flour.

The shipping and parchment costs when buying 1000 can be shared/split amoung friends. Cost is ~$31 for 1000. Not sure what shipping would cost.

When doing gingerbread, I split the paper in half and sandwich the dough, placing wooden dowel spacers to keep an even thickness. After rolling out and removing the top sheet, I cut the pattern, pull away the excess dough and slide the entire bottom sheet onto the cookie sheet to bake.

When making cake circles with ladyfinger batter, I flip over the parchment and trace out the cake pan sizes. Then flip over and pipe the dough with a 1/2" opening (or no tip at all...the pastry bag opening is typically large enough).

I recently posted how to roll up cookie batter into tube shapes using parchment, then roll up the ends and store in the freezer.

I just love parchment.

 
Cyn, do you have a resto you frequent? Ask if they'll sell you some. A box is surprisingly heavy

and very large, if it's the full-sized sheet. I'm dreading the thought of those shipping charges....

 
Also, no problem with sticking. I read a lot of baking books and do what that baker recommends for

their cookie.

If they recommend parchment, I use that.
If they recommend Silpat I use that.
If they say "grease" I grease.

Alice Medrich has one cookie where she insists it's best if nothing is used between the dough and hot pan.

Hey, if it's good enough for Alice....

 
King Arthur flour has free shipping every once in awhile. I stocked up on paper then. shipping was

a flat fee to Alaska, not free, but still a good deal for sheets of parchment. I bought the rounds too.
