I use parchment paper. But I have also gone to Michael's and bought a sheet of foam for $.99. I cut it to fit bottom and sides. It works even better that parchment. Then I just rinse the foamies with warm water and dry for next use. HTH. Laurie

Hey Ian...this is what I heard someone say just recently. When the door gets closed, God doesn't just open a window, he knocks down walls. That's even better. Cool, eh. Laurie

I guess I would hate to throw anything out without at least trying. LOL :D If it were me I would don rubber gloves and grate it in the pot, maybe add a little liquid and/or oil and try and cook it. Then if it didn't work I'd chuck it, IMHO. Laurie

Welcome Crystal.

Maybe it's time to learn how to rebatch. You very rarely have to throw out a batch. It can usually be remedied. I know there are many threads to follow on rebatching. I have only had to rebatch once so I don't know how to help. First of all you have to figure out the problem and remedy it...

Way to go Kristin!!!

Yes, welcome and I am looking forward to your future posts. Laurie
