if they did they would be selling them for oil making.
please try parchment paper in your alum pan
or i have a oval corning baking dish. pretty easy to clean up.

not a good idea

parchment paper is also coated in silicone, thereby as toxic as silicone itself

butane is aggressive on silicone ending up in your concentrate, you sure dont wanna smoke silicone

as long its not a ptfe foil , glass is the only safe way to go

sorry did not mean to come off as a ass.
i like corning or glass. many use parchment.
there is one brand that most use. called oil slick.
deran might be right that all parchment is bad.
i mostly know just what i have read and done.
if you can go to walmart and find a corning or
glass dish. about the same size as your foil pan
you are using now. under $20 i bet. i find a oval
dish more easy to clean up vs corners.
good luck

you know

a vise
flat hammer
couple files
couple feet of heavy copper

you can make whatever scrapers you like pretty quick

or you could just buy an easy piece of glass...

I’ve lost two batches over the years using regular glass, extreme temperature change made them crack.

Big difference between food and medical grade silicon.

I used mason jars for years and never had an issue but pyrex should be safe.

btw,
why the rework?
was the previous unsuited to doing smaller batches?
