Tin foil with a teaspoon or so of cornflour on spead onto the area the pav sits on, never had one stick yet.

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

newspaper with water sprinkled over it. it works

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!

Thanks I have tried that before so will try again.

If using greaseproof I always wet it first

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.

badams1, Dec 26, 8:29pm
you have good advice here. wet greasproof paper or buttered tin foil works well. go make.

I've also used greased tinfoil - very effectively.

janeny1, Dec 26, 9:32pm
Prior to baking paper we used to lighly grease lunch wrap paper for under the pav

I use an old platform from a microwave.cook and serve from the same platter.

they can be picked up from op shops for a couple of bux.

I use tinfoil, and don't bother to grease it :-)

slayer10, Dec 27, 2:36am
I use upside down Christmas wrapping paper.

Same as nik12 - never fails.

rainrain1, Dec 27, 1:59pm
butter the greaseproof paper, then wet it

creeky1, Dec 27, 6:15pm
tin foil and grease with oil. very sparingly.

littleblackhen, Dec 28, 10:04pm
