Wilton Parchment paper

Can anyone tell me why Wilton doesn't put a little cutting
blade on their packages of parchment paper? I love the
paper and use it for making cookies and backing bacon among
other things. But it's kind of a hassle to go find a pair
of scissors every time I use it.

IME, very few parchment papers have cutting blades.

They really need to standardized the things. Some foils,
plastic wraps, wax and parchment papers tear upwards, some
down, and some not at all. It's almost to the point I have
to take a Valium before I wrap anything.

I see that GFS Marketplace has a store in Peoria and one is
Springfield. If either of these central Illinois cities is
reasonably close you might want to check out their parchment
paper. They sell packages of 50 full sheet pan size pieces
for under $3. You can cut them in half (or smaller) and end
up with 100 half sheet pan sized liners for under 3 cents
each. I find this much cheaper than parchment on the roll.
The sheets are folded around a piece of cardboard and I just
cut them in half while they are still in the package. They
are easy to store and you don't have to fool around with
parchment that curls up after you take it off a roll. gfs.know-gfs.know-Open ↗

Could you buy one box of another brand that does come with
the blade, save it, and fill it with the brand you like when
it runs out? I'm not familiar with Wilton brand parchment
paper, but I often use this trick when I like the packaging
for one product but the actual product of another.

The Reynolds (same company that makes Al foil) brand has a
cutter. We ran out and I picked up a roll that simply said
"100% unbleached parchment paper" not realizing that some
manufacturers make a user unfriendly package. There was no
cutter and it is a pain to use.

That's what counter edges are for. "-) (You don't keep a
pair of scissors in a kitchen drawer?)

And while they're standardizing, I wish they'd make the
width of the roll to fit a standard half-sheet pan instead
of being about 2" short. I finally switched to silpat for
most uses that require parchment paper.

Folks generally trim parchment paper to fit *precisely*...
it's not used for wrapping PB & J sammiches.
