As I return to the blogosphere (what?), I reread some of my past posts. And discovered 2 things…
- I Am Actually Hilarious
- I Was Wrong About Something BIG
#1 is something you’d think was obvious, but it’s been a while since I’ve read the written Word of Vic and woooeee, I really crack myself up.
As for the lesser dramatic one…#2….
Just kidding this is totally dramatic because I am rarelyyyyyy wrong. Just ask Jared, he knows.
But, every dog has his day ya know….. (not sure if I used that right, but it’s hard to care at a time like this!)
Anyway…like I said…I was rereading my articles and back when I was young and naive (2017), I posted Vic’s Tricks To…Foil Packet Chicken. In that post, I write an ode to aluminum foil and how it’s the most versatile, time-saving & best cleanup tool there is.
Well…I was wrong…..meet….
PARCHMENT PAPER!!!
OK so, now you might be thinking, “Vic, what even is parchment paper?” or “Vic, do you have any friends, at all?”
These are both very valid.
Parchment paper is typically used in baking, as it is nonstick in nature and does not conduct heat like foil does. No one likes cookies with burnt bottoms.
But, try and think back to the last time you cooked something on aluminum foil. Maybe you threw some wings on there. Maybe some veggies. Maybe cookies! Did they stick to the foil at all?
If you say no…you’re lying.
THAT’S what makes parchment paper superior.
Remember earlier when I was all like, “oh yea ya know it’s nonstick in nature, lolz”
Yea, I was just playing it cool because…
THAT IS THE BEST PART. NOTHING STICKS TO THIS SHIT.
So you can still get the PERFECT crisp on your veggies or meats (with salt of course – we know that draws out moisture and crisps faster, right?), with easy cleanup and without accidentally ingesting aluminum. BONUS!
With this, I hereby declare PARCHMENT PAPER #1 ON VIC’S TRICKS LIST
What a momentous occasion and really can’t wait to show you it in action this year. Booyah!!!
Happy Eating!
