What is the best way to line an oven tray for easy cleanup?

Lining an oven tray can make cleanup much easier. Here are some effective methods:

1. Parchment Paper:
– Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the tray.
– Place it on the bottom of the tray before adding food.
– This method is great for baking,  small electric roaster oven  as it prevents sticking and is heat-resistant.

2. Aluminum Foil:
– Tear off a piece of aluminum foil and lay it across the tray.
– Crinkle it slightly for better heat distribution, or keep it smooth for easier cleanup.
– It’s particularly useful for roasting and can be discarded after use.

3. Silicone Baking Mats:
– Use a reusable silicone mat that fits your tray.
– These mats are non-stick and can be washed and reused, making them environmentally friendly.

4. Cooking Spray:
– If you prefer not to use liners, spray the tray with non-stick cooking spray or grease it with oil.
– This helps prevent food from sticking, although it may require more scrubbing than using a liner.

5. Disposable Baking Liners:
– Consider using disposable baking liners specifically designed for oven use.
– They provide a non-stick surface and are easy to throw away after cooking.

Choose the method that best fits your cooking needs and preferences!
