I'm fed up of buying "non-stick" oven trays that don't work!

I've tried so many and also different methods of using them: heating them first, oiling them first, oiling the food instead of the tray etc.

I find it most annoying when I try to do roasted veggies. By the time I've tried to scrape them off the bottom of the tray there's very little roasted bits left on them!

I have tried a couple from Lakeland and they have been brilliant at taking them back when they don't work, but that hasn't solved my problem!

I don't cook at particularly high temperatures - for example yesterday I did roasted potatoes and parsnips on 150 degrees (it's a fan oven) for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Stuck like glue...

Anyone recommend anything? I'm sure it must be me

Why dont you cook at high temps?

Roasting is surely best on a higher temp gas 7 ish. 150oC is really low.

I cooked on low yesterday as I was slow roasting a joint of meat at the same time, but I have tried on high too.

I always give the oven trays a shake when roasting anything. Have you given your roast a shake part way through? Like with roast potatoes, do you turn them over part way through?

I use a non stick cooking liner in the bottom of the tray. Nothing sticks to them! Mine came from Dunelm though and I've found smaller sized ones in the pound shop

I use silicon baking sheets. I think they are about £14 for two at QVC.

Sainsburys do the best ones. I have had mine for ages and no sticking. Great price too.

You can't wash and re-use parchment though, can you?

I always try to turn things halfway through but they're usually stuck by then! I fight to peel them from the surface and turn them but then when I get them out at the end they're stuck on that side too!

I've thought about going down the silicone route but judging by my experiences they'd stick too

Two out of the four that I currently have are from Sainsbury's. They are oblong and sort of speckled black colour.

i never had silicone backing sheets stick, even when using in a frying pan for eggs.


They are great and don't detract flavour. In fact i prefer fried eggs on the sheet than with fat!

My worry with expensive oven trays is burning and ruining them. Though since getting a new cooker, we have had cheapo tesco oven trays and kept them in good condition so far.
