Parchies have many uses in the kitchen! Aunt Judy invented them to hold down parchment paper on a cookie sheet or baking pan, and they've solved MANY of our problems since.
Whether you are baking cookies, roasting vegetables, or cooking fish en papillote (wrapped in parchment paper), these clips can help ensure that your parchment paper stays in place and doesn't move around or bunch up in the oven.
To use Parchies, place the parchment paper on your baking sheet or pan, and then use the clips to hold it down along the edges. You can also use the clips to create a tent-like shape over your food, which can help to retain moisture and prevent the edges from burning or drying out.
When baking cookies, it's important to make sure that the parchment paper is securely fastened to the baking sheet. This will help prevent the cookies from sticking and make it easier to remove them once they are finished baking. Using baking clips to hold down the parchment paper can also help to keep the cookies from spreading too much and ensures that they maintain their shape.
Roasted vegetables can also benefit from being cooked on parchment paper, as it helps to prevent them from sticking to the pan and makes for easy clean-up. Again, use the baking clips to hold the parchment paper in place and create a tent-like shape over the vegetables to help retain moisture.
Finally, cooking fish en papillote (wrapped in parchment paper) is a great way to infuse the fish with flavors and keep it moist. To do this, place the fish on a sheet of parchment paper, add any desired seasonings or vegetables, and then fold the parchment paper over the top of the fish. Use the baking clips to hold the parchment paper in place and create a sealed packet. When cooked in this way, the fish will steam in its own juices and take on the flavors of the seasonings and vegetables.
Parchies are a simple but effective tool for holding down parchment paper on a baking sheet or pan. Whether you are baking cookies, roasting vegetables, or cooking fish en papillote, they can help ensure that your labor of love is cooked to perfection with an easy clean-up!
