 Savings in Seconds is proud to partner with PaperChef to bring you an amazing way to save calories, time, and effort in the kitchen!  PaperChef parchment products are an amazing culinary secret that I recently read about and HAD to try. They sent me an assortment of items to review. Basically, you can use parchment for your cooking and baking and minimize the amounts of butter and oils that you need for the dish.  Initially, I wanted to try the cooking bags because they reminded me of the foil-dinners that were so popular a few years ago.  What I liked even more about PaperChef was that I didn’t have scorched food stuck to the packet when we were ready to eat.  Plus, it just looked more gourmet.  And the price!!  So reasonable that you just don’t even have to justify buying it. I don’t know if I’m just crazy or what, but the food even seemed to taste better after cooking it in the parchment. It will save you time on clean-up too.    I also found that PaperChef has different sized muffin cups.  They are so great for baking cupcakes and muffins—-again, no-stick and they peel off the muffins so easily.  I feel like I’ve entered a whole new world!   Check the store locator to see where PaperChef is available in your area.  I love the recipes that are on the PaperChef site. They are so simple yet beautiful.  Plus when you bake it in a PaperChef parchment product, it looks rustic and so homey.  As I said, it just made my food taste better! 

Each of these recipes had a different flavor that was just delicious.  I’m not good at picking out which flavors work together, so it was really helpful to have the ingredients already blended for me.  The Dryglaze is super easy to use.  Basically, you just coat your meat with a bit of oil and shake it in a bag with the packet of Dryglaze.  You do need to allow it to sit for about half an hour (which I neglected on the first try….I figured it out the second time ’round and it worked much better!)  You can then grill the meat or roast it.  Either way your taste buds will thank you.    My favorite was the Santa Fe BBQ.  I’ve already got my eye on a few other flavors and looking forward to trying something new.  Urban Accents made me look like a good cook, so I can’t blow my cover now!! 


For this giveaway, the winner will receive the entire line of PaperChef products and one of each Urban Accents Dryglaze flavors. The prize package retails for approximately $51.50.  The giveaway ends May 30, so don’t delay!  It’s open to US readers of Savings in Seconds who are ages 18+.  Good luck!
