As someone who doesn't cook, now I'm not clear on which you don't put in the oven, and what kind of paper you are supposed to use.

Parchment can go in the oven. Wax paper will catch on fire if you try.

I learned it the hard way.

Why are people putting paper in the oven?

Prevents the thing you're cooking from basically getting fused to the metal pan.

Well they make non stick baking sheets, but I'll use spray anyways

Non stick baking sheets are basically just pre cut parchment paper.

Stinkywink is probably talking about the metal sheet (baking tray in AE?) being nonstick.

Works better than non-stick, and keeps the pan clean enough for immediate reuse, which is really nice e.g. if you're baking multiple batches of cookies for a holiday event
