Wing it
Doing some holiday baking? Feel good about it with a Winged Cookie Sheet from Chicago Metallic. Testers liked the "wings" — as handles and for slowing cookies from flying off the nonstick sheet. Best of all, $5 from each pan's sale goes to Share Our Strength, a nonprofit fighting childhood hunger in America. Its suggested retail price: $19.99. For a store locater or to buy, go to: chicagometallicbakeware.com.
Bag it
Fish baked en papillote sounds elegant, but folding sometimes-finicky parchment paper is tricky. PaperChef comes to the rescue with Parchment Cooking Bags. The 14-inch-long bags worked beautifully with an herbed fish and mushroom recipe. For use in the oven (to 425 degrees) and microwave, the suggested retail price for a 10-bag box: $3.49. A store locater's at paperchef.com.
