I have been a huge fan of KAF parchment half sheets for years - also use parchment circles and the small squares. Honestly, I don't know how people use the parchment sold in grocery stores on a roll because I love that the half sheets are always flat. KAF used to send the parchment sheets in cardboard tube which was perfect because the sheets were protected and you could reach in a grab a single sheet from the centre which would slide out and still lay flat. KAF discontinued the tube and I wrote to suggest KAF come up with their own plastic lightweight tube with KAF logo on it - if you buy a package it is free or maybe charge a small fee. They would be reusable and environmentally friendly. Customers might even use them for other uses too. The reply I received only suggested I try to find another type of tube and they'd forward my suggestion to the appropriate KAF department. Well, I went to every craft store and The Container Store looking for something that would work. Mailing tubes were all too long/narrow and I finally found a gift bottle box last Christmas which I'm using now - still not great. Anyway, today I saw the video where they suggest putting the sheets on top of the fridge. Other than being convenient to grab to me it seems like such a bad idea. The worst is that they are constantly exposed to dust/grease in the air. Those sheets are slippery and if you could easily think you have one and pull down a few which end up on the floor. Also, all you need is a cat or a breeze or unaware human to reach up there and the sheets will go flying too. For the most part I just love KAF but I do not understand the philosophy about packaging for KAF half sheets of parchment and reluctance to create your own storage unit.
