To prevent the middle-sagging problem, one could easily fabricate a support from a piece of clean cardboard. Just cut the cardboard 1/2" more narrow than the width of the pan, and a few inches longer that the length of the pan. Slide the cardboard beneath the baked product and the parchment paper, place the hand beneath the cardboard to support it while lifting the product out of the pan. If there are extra hands around, they can reused to lift the parchment, too.
