SMARTAKE Parchment Non Stick Grilling Unbleached Reviews Summary

Size and Fit

Pros:

• "These are great. Fit my large cookie sheets perfect."
• "I love that these are the perfect size for a baking sheet."
• "These are perfect for my half sheet trays."
• "These parchment sheets are the perfect size for half sheet pans."
• "The size fits large cookie sheets and absorbs grease pretty well so you don't have to clean the pans between batches."
• "Perfectly fits 1/2 sheet tray, easily cut for other pans."
• "They are the exact size of a regular baking pan."

Cons:

• "They seemed just a little thin, I was expecting each sheet to be a little thicker/sturdier."
• "These are smaller than a standard cookie/half-sheet pan, which is disappointing."
• "Compared to the other product these are thin, flimsy, and about the thickness of wax paper."
• "They are way too big, but I fold them to fit or cut them in half."
• "I’ve never used parchment paper that can’t even keep bacon grease from bleeding through."
• "The sheets do not have 90-degree angles, they are over an inch off on each side."
• "I am disappointed in these parchment sheets because they are 20mm too short and 8mm too wide for a standard home baking cookie sheet."

Quality and Convenience

Pros:

• "The quality is outstanding; it's thick enough to withstand high temperatures yet still flexible and easy to handle."
• "No more nonstick sprays, cleaning is EASY and quick, and you can use them multiple times!"
• "The wax quality in every paper is awesome. It doesn't burn and doesn't crumple in the heat."
• "The baked goods do not stick and can be removed from the paper effortlessly."
• "I like that the parchment is oven safe up to 450 degrees."
• "These 200 sheet non-stick precut parchment sheets are one of the most convenient items I've seen in a long time."
• "Having them this way is so much more convenient to use and dispose of."

Cons:

• "On one occasion, when I was heating two mashed potato balls, when the cooking was finished I found the paper had been blown or sucked and had thrown the potato balls to the back of the fryer."
• "I purchased these precut parchment sheets figuring they would save me time and money... each time my Scones stayed stuck to the paper and were difficult to remove."
• "The paper is waxy and thinner than parchment."
• "This 'parchment' paper is more like wax paper. The paper does not slide off the pan. IT STICKS."
• "So many other brands of parchment paper get crispy and burnt cooking at high temps but this one doesn’t."
• "Unfortunately, there was grease bleed-through; they're too thin."
• "I do not know what these are sheets are, but I have been baking with parchment paper for 4 years and this stuff is not parchment paper."

Packaging and Storage

Pros:

• "I store it right with my sheet pans."
• "The package fits perfectly between my refrigerator and my cabinet so they are always handy when I need them."
• "They come in a box and if opened properly you can easily store and dispense from the box."
• "These sheets come in a nice form fitting cardboard 'envelope' that makes removing one sheet quick and easy."
• "The package stands in a tall cabinet where I keep the pans."
• "The box is flat enough to fit perfectly on top of the fridge."
• "I absolutely love the slim box it comes in so I can store it upright with my cookie sheets!!"

Cons:

• "The only drawback is opening the box, it is perforated but when the package is full it is tricky to open but once you do you are golden!"
• "The only problem I had with this purchase is that it did NOT come in a box as stated in the description."
• "I wasn't too crazy about the packaging, since the 200 sheets are wrapped in tissue paper within the box itself."
• "It would be helpful to have a tuck-in tab to store all the sheets before use, but that wasn't provided."
• "However....these used to come in a paper sleeve inside the box. They now come in a plastic bag inside the box."
• "The one issue I have is that grease definitely seeps through it, so don’t expect to not have to wash your pan after using one of these."
• "The sheets are perfectly usable, however they arrive in a flat box, not folded and said box does not fit into any drawers in my kitchen!"

Value for Money

Pros:

• "The 200 sheet packet is a good value."
• "Much cheaper than you can get in the store, so you don't feel bad using them."
• "Great price for the perfect size parchment sheet!"
• "This is great value for the price."
• "Great price too! The first pack lasted me a year."
• "While not as cheap as the rolls from Costco, not as expensive as one might think."
• "Really well packaged and it fits my cookie sheet."

Cons:

• "This stuff is very very expensive."
• "Pricey for just 200 pieces... I have ordered 500 whites for same price."
• "These are more expensive than rolls, but I image that if this format becomes more popular, over time it will come down in price as more people move to it."
• "I'm sending this stuff back and I suggest you save yourself that trouble by buying some other brand to begin with."
• "I can’t believe so many people gave them 5 stars. I threw mine out."
• "I will go back to my bulk package of 1000 sheets ordered through a restaurant supply dealer."
• "Quality has deteriorated over the years. Product is thinner now and grease soaks through the paper."
