I also use it to wrap things to steam in the oven, or as a layer on top of a dutch oven (over the food, under the lid) to make a better seal to keep moisture in. I use it on baking sheets under things I reheat, mostly to make clean-up easier. I will make parchment paper snowflakes the size of my steaming basket when I steam anything sticky (like pork buns)... the holes let the steam through.

Interesting info also.  Thanks!

When we make something like French dips or meatball subs and put them in the oven, I usually put foil on the pan to keep the cheese from making a mess if it melts too much (for cleanup).  Should I be using parchment paper in this instance?  I guess I associated foil with hearty/meat things and parchment paper with baking.

you can use parchment... depending on the brand though, you want to be careful at very high oven temps... I think usually it's not recommended for anything over 425C

and don't use it if you are broiling


also to consider: you can clean aluminium foil and re-use or recycle it; you can clean parchment and compost it

I tend to use aluminum foil for cooking and parchment for baking

Run Amok:
Silpats are amazing! I wish they could tolerate higher heat. I need to replace mine. I've ruined them by pushing the temps and/or cutting on them.  :-[ Otherwise, you got awesome advice here.
