I love my stand mixer, too!

I did think "skip parchment paper" (especially as it's all silicon-coated now) and go directly to silicon mats.

I'm mostly like this, but I just read a blog post (seriouseats? thekitchn? I can't find it now) that tried multiple ways of cooking bacon and picked "in the oven on parchment paper" as the best. I cook it in the oven on foil, but now I want to try parchment paper. Also I am thinking it could be nice to cut a round for the bottom of my (silicone!) cake pan, since I often get a tiny bit of stickiness. So it's on my list now to try again.

Parchment paper absorbs some moisture while preventing caramelized pan build up, which is definitely why I use it for Turkey Jurky, and probably why it's tops for cooking bacon.
