Always figured those mats were overpriced gimmicks and stuck with parchment paper until my wife brought one home. Now I feel dumb for waiting so long because cleanup alone is worth way more than the twelve bucks. The mat basically pays for itself the first time you space out and burn a batch.

Sat in a parking lot for like 30 minutes once doing the math on my refund while my groceries got warm in the back seat. My uncle used to say he'd cash his check and stick the whole thing in an envelope labeled "do not open till the tire blows" and honestly that worked better than any app I've tried. The problem is I always find a tire that needs blowing, you know. Last year I blew mine on a used smoker and a bunch of meat, so at least the family ate good for a month. Your split sounds smarter than whatever I've been doing, might copy that half and half thing next April.
