That parch sticks. At least the 4x4 ones do. They donât seem like they have silicone on them
I get them to flip fine and donât get much sticking. Really tacky ones will, but thatâs normal
You definitely donât want them to have silicone on them.
What do you think parchment paper is? Itâs paper with a very fine layer of silicone. Google will answer all your questions
Parchment paper
Modern parchment paper is made by running sheets of paper pulp through a bath of sulfuric acid[1] (a method similar to how tracing paper is made) or sometimes zinc chloride. This process partially dissolves or gelatinizes the paper. This treatment forms a sulfurized cross-linked material with high density, stability, and heat resistance, and low surface energyâthereby imparting good non-stick or release properties. The treated paper has an appearance similar to that of traditional parchment, and because of its stability is sometimes used for legal purposes where traditional parchment was used.
Bakery release paper
The stickless properties can be also achieved by employing a coated paper, for which a suitable release agentâa coating with a low surface energy and capability to withstand the temperatures involved in the baking or roasting processâis deposited onto the paperâs surface; silicone (cured with a suitable catalyst) is frequently used.
Silicone coated parchment paper is in the do not use category due to the siliconeâs solubility in butane during purging which means silicone in your dabs.
Iâm telling you itâs treated with silicone. If itâs not itâs not parchment paper.
Apparently why I quit using parchment paper and went to PTFE paperâŚmy mind must have new thatâs why it was ABSORBING my terps!
That Martha Stewart article is just furthering the common misconception mentioned in this thread and in this blog.
My previous reply was quoted directly from,
and if we look at the âBaking Sheetsâ vs âParchment Paperâ on the SAGA website here we can see one is clearly labeled as being coated in silicone, which though not a guarantee points at there being no coating on the other.
Now, after looking into the ones recommended earlier, are you aware the ones you linked are silicone and/or quillon coated @Dred_pirate?
They mention it on the Worthy Liners webpage here.
Maybe a good alternative would be something like:

A Bear Products listing claiming to use no silicone or quilon.
Anybody can type anything on Wikipedia. Not a credible source. Ever
Maybe it depends on what company made the parchment, as it used to be made from animal skin Iâd say the name has been somewhat universalâŚ
Silicone is part of this process @ like 2:45-2:55
I use vehicle oil filter pliers to open and close my ethanol containers. It keeps the lids nice and tight and you arenât breaking your hands in the process.
Nice
Wikipedia has been ranked as accurate as Encyclopedia Britannica, and if you make a change to an important article that is easily verified, mods usually change it back within 24 hours, even less if what you changed had a citation that was peer reviewed. Wikipedia only sucks for things that donât have citations. It can be a very credible source, especially for science related things.
As for tricks of the trade, I pull patties like taffy instead of whipping them to make crumble, it is so much easier to do, especially when changing unstable shatter to crumble.
In Tricks of the trade we try to explain thorouly how or what is done
Please explain in a sop your teck for futere readers

I was not taught how to extract or run a CLS, I had to read/learn first hand, by myself. My trade brings a few things to the tableâŚ
I was getting a mol sieve together tonight. Just came in, my first one. As I was assembling it, I wiped all surfaces down with ISO. I looked at the 3/8 NPT weld joint on the hemispherical cap. The back of the welded joint, on the ID of the tube, had a bunch of soot and crud in it. I donât know if they backed that joint with something or just back purged the weld or what. But both caps had a bunch of contamination in themâŚas seen in the pics on the q tips
When adding anything to my system, I treat it like a steam plant system. If itâs going in, being opened etc it gets a 100%, spotless cleaning with ISO or acetoneâŚthen gets a once over with ISO immediately before install if it wasnât capped for foreign material exclusion.
Just my thoughtsâŚnot so much a trick but what should be common sense?
Are those the smallest rebuildable ball valves ive ever seen?
Might be just trick w lightingâŚbut they look tiny! I love it, whereâd u get if so
they are just small 3 piece ball valvesâŚthats the next step up. probably 3/8 or 1/2
They are 3/8 ball valves. Nothing fancy here. You can adjust the pressure of the seats on the ball which I appreciate. These came from open source steelâŚtheyâve got a decent deal on a molecular sieve at the moment.
