I've recently discovered this stuff - it's silicone coated paper, fabulous for baking - anything from cookies, candies, rolling out dough to oven-friend chicken or chops, or getting fancy, cooking fish or chicken en papillote.  You don't need to oil or butter pan, so a few calories can be saved as well.  Linked writeup says once you begin using it, you'll be hooked and it's true.  It's on the expensive side - I bought a 24' X 15" roll (Reynolds) for about four bucks.  However, sheets can be wiped off and reused for a few bakings with some items.  Used to be sold only in specialty shops but now is in supers.

There is a better method, yekyua.  Invest in a silpat pad, you can usually find them for less than $20, and they will last you around 2500 uses.   The same benefits, but much more cost effective.  I've been using them for about three years now.

Thanks Wheelman - no idea such a thing existed.  And you've given me a good excuse to visit Sur le Table.  I could spend hours browsing in stores like Williams-Sonoma, any place that has little kitchen tools, bright ceramic canisters, pots, pans, pretty dishtowels - almost (but not quite) as good as hanging out at bookstore. :-)  Even when much younger, and on strict budget, I could find some small, affordable item to take home and treasure - I still have a nutmeg grater I bought 30 years ago for about two bucks.
