Sheet pans are pretty important kitchen items. With them, you can make prosciutto crisps, or a whole bunch of grilled cheese sandwiches, but they can also be used to catch vegetable peels and scraps, making cleanup a cinch.

I’ve always peeled my veggies over the sink, but pesky peels can clog your plumbing, even if you have a garbage disposal. I actually almost ruined Christmas last year by putting potato peels down my mother’s garbage disposal. It was a bad scene, and I am forever ashamed.
Luckily, catastrophes such as this are easily prevented by just lining the sink with a sheet pan. Peel as usual, letting everything fall onto the pan, and dump in the compost when done. No fuss. No muss. No potato peel plumbing disaster.

I’ve always used junk mail or local newspapers. When you’re done you can dump the scraps into your compost and bin the paper. Nothing extra to wash.
