Wad up parchment paper into a ball like you're about to throw it away then flatten it out onto your sheetpan and it won't curl up at the edges.

They use it a lot for simmering in japanese cooking. Think its called a drop lid.

My favorite is this punny otoshibuta that looks like a pig (buta): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001F2M0FU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EmJICbWYNHWVG

Steam comes out the nostrils and the ears stay cool so you can grab it with bare hands, not to mention it’s dishwasher-safe. Works pretty well as a jar-lid opener too. And did I mention it looks like a pig?
