I get packages of full sheet pan size parchment from Gordon Food Service.
http://www.gordonfoodservice.com/ A pack of 50 cost $2.85. I cut them in
half for my half sheet pans. For smaller pans, I just fold the excess
under. They price out to about 3 cents each when you cut them in half.
That's way less expensive than any parchment I find on rolls. It may pay to
get the larger size and cut or fold them to fit your pans.
