Default SHAPE2BAKE/SILPAT

Sandy,
I looked Super Parchment up on the Internet and it is the same
thing as Shape2bake. I don't know why more people don't use it.
It is really great stuff and saves a bundle of money. I guess
most people just don't know about it. They have Super Parchment
for sale on the Internet for $6 a sheet. That would be
equivalent to about 1,000 sheets of parchment paper.
