Is there a suitable substitute for parchment paper or a silpat baking sheet?

I live way up int he boondocks and want to try a recipe that calls for a silpat  sheet or parchment paper.

Do you know of any reliable substitutes?

The oven temp only calls for 200 degrees.

For years and years people just greased the baking tray - Butter for sweet pastry and cooking oil for savoury.

Try a sheet of normal paper, maybe -- as the book says, paper doesn't ignite until about 451 degrees.

If it's just to stop something sticking, lightly oiled aluminium foil should do the job.
