Something I just read the other day. If your pav sticks then run a length of dental floss under it. Great advice I thought.

Jjust grease baking tray then sprinkle lightly with cornflour. Never used baking paper or tinfoil

I have just used ordinary greaseproof paper for years and never had a problem with sticking! Quite often turn pav upside down, peel off the greaseproof and have a flat surface to decorate. Maybe a reason for sticking is not beaten enough,should not be grainy, and also too much sugar! I use 1/2 Teacup caster sugar per egg white.

what do I use so the pav wont stick to the tray! I always use baking paper and it just slides off but have run out with the marathon of pavs made and now want another for today.

Ordinary lunch wrap I think works ok.I only suggest this as I did once line a loaf tin with it by mistake and all was well.Mind you I do lightly spray the tin and the paper!

Prior to the non-stick baking paper that most of us use today, I remember greaseproof paper being used for pavlovas but it was first rolled into a ball, wet, then the excess water squeezed out and the well-dampened paper flattened on the baking tray. I don't recall ever having used that method myself but I have seen it very successfully used many many times.:-))

news paper is great, the print is non-toxic and works really well.

you have good advice here. wet greasproof paper or buttered tin foil works well. go make.
