System for removing a pan-prepared comestible from a pan and dividing the comestible into desired portions includes an article including a substrate with portions thereof placed between a pan-prepared comestible, such as a baked or chilled item, and portions of the substrate extending beyond at least two sides of the pan, which define handles for lifting the pan-prepared comestible from the pan. The system includes indicia which includes printed, raised or embossed markings, indicators, or symbols visible on the substrate beyond the bounds of the comestible once separated from the pan, and which define portioning lines serving as guidelines for a cutting tool whereby the comestible is divided into uniformly shaped portions.
