I have a brownie recipie I want to make, but it calls for greased parchment paper. It says to line the pan with it. I don't have any and don't even know what it is. Could I put oil or something on the pan?? Instead of the greased parchment paper?? I have to make it in a couple hours, so please answer if you know!!!!

You can use Just crisco in your pan and flour it lightly. Then just add your batter.----------No oil!!!

Must be a really old brownie recipe. Would you share? Probably a really good one, too. Parchment paper was used back before the better methods of "greasing" a pan came into being, like "Pam" and other products of that nature.
Good cooks didn't want to take the brownies out of the pan and have the white flour showing on the sides of the brownies when they came out of the pan... not pretty.

The parchment paper is just to make removal easier. Just grease, not oil, the pan real good. Use like crisco or Baker's Joy or the newe Pam with flour.

Dear reader,
you may use the old fashioned method of grease and flour. be sure to tap all excess flour from the pan. It should be a light coating. If you are using non-stick (teflon) pans, you may use cooking spray to acheive the same results!
For the record, parchment paper is not neccesary, simply makes for easier clean up. It can be found in most baking sections of your local market.
Good Luck!

Use Crisco or margarine to coat pan - than put in a few tablespoons of cocoa power and shake it to cover the whole pan. Instead of turning the bottoms white with flour, the cocoa keeps the chocolate look.

Use a thin coating of Crisco and then shake flour around the pan to 'cover' the crisco. Brownies will slip right out.

For future references parchment paper is similar to wax paper except it's made with silicone and doesnt give off that waxy taste. You can certainly use a baking sheet without the paper, or substitute it with wax paper, it's cheaper.
