For Whole Food, Plant-Based non-stick cooking without having to use oil or spray, I use two types of materials which will be shown in the Quick-Tips video below. I use these materials – a Silpat and/or parchment paper – to line baking sheets, pie pans and cake pans. They provide easy clean up, even cooking, no added calories and healthy eating options. (An additional option for non-stick bakeware is made from silicone material but that’s for another blog and video.)
I have used two Silpats for about 13 years, they have held up well under a lot of test cooking for my eCookbooks. They were purchased on the internet but if you have a kitchen store nearby they likely will stock Silpats. They are reusable, thus easy on your pocketbook and the environment. For baking foods such as cookies or burgers, just place a Silpat on a baking sheet. For roasting, I frequently line a baking sheet with a Silpat then add a few sheets of parchment paper to absorb the juices.
ENJOY THE TIP! Use parchment paper and Silpats for no-oil plant-based cooking.
