    I use baking parchment, i don't grease it and nothing sticks to it, i buy mine from Wilkinsons, it looks like greaseproof paper but is ten times better

    I use this too it is great. I love flapjack but in the past avoided it due to the sticking. I also find that a product called Cake Release from Lakeland is invaluble when making cakes, no parchment required.
    I have a tin that you bake a train cake in and this never sticks using this.

    non stick and Teflon sheets are great, as is baking paper, but I don't find grease proof paper works so well.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    Poundland sell sheets of silicone (for a pound!) for lining baking tins. The sheets can be cut to shape and reused.
  • i love reusable baking liners. I use 3 traybake tins regularly and have a liner cut for each one. I also have them cut for my large baking trays which I use for everything from hm oven chips to biscuits.

    They are coated with PTFE which , so I recently read, is supposed to be carcinogenic:eek: I'm still using it though.

    lakeland sell tray liners and spray to stop stuff sticking....might be worth a look
    onwards and upwards
  • I'm with baking parchment too.I've used it for years and years and never had anything stick.
  • Thanks everyone for your rapid responses. Think I'm going through a bad baking spell at the mo! going to try all your suggestions and may even have to buy the re-usable liners if I have no luck with the unlined and lined methods.

    Thanks again.
