Line everything up assembly-style, work through the pile in one focused session, and the gadget turns Sunday prep from a chore into a rhythm. Future-you will taste the difference all week.
3. Placement is half the battle
Where your parchment paper liners lives determines how often you actually use it. They prevent delicate foods like fish from sticking to the basket. That is why keeping it within arm's reach of where the action happens is the single biggest upgrade you can make. Don't bury it in a back cabinet; give it a permanent home near the stove or sink.
