it chops rather nicely if you stack the leaves up on top of each other, about 20 leaves at a time.

theres this awesome stuff called pan lining paper. its aluminum foil on one side and parchment paper on the other. i lined the cake pan with it and when its empty i just throw it away and the pan is clean. i like this stuff! (careful under the broiler though). they sell it in the stores next to aluminum foil and parchment paper. its seriously awesome.
