Baking Paper

Baking Paper

Baking paper, also known as parchment paper or greaseproof paper, is a type of cellulose-based paper that is specifically designed for use in baking. It is coated with a non-stick, heat-resistant material that prevents food from sticking to it and allows for easy removal from baking trays and pans. Baking paper is commonly used in baking to line baking trays and pans, and to wrap food for cooking in the oven. It is also used as a barrier between layers of baked goods, such as cakes and cookies, to prevent them from sticking together. Baking paper is an essential tool for bakers as it helps to ensure even baking, prevents burning, and makes clean-up a breeze. Baking paper is typically made from unbleached or bleached wood pulp that is processed to create a smooth, dense paper. The paper is then coated with a layer of silicone or other non-stick material that is heat-resistant and food-safe. This coating allows the paper to withstand high temperatures without breaking down or transferring any harmful chemicals to the food being cooked. In addition to its use in baking, baking paper can also be used for a variety of other cooking tasks, such as steaming, roasting, and grilling. It can also be used as a lining for food storage containers to prevent food from sticking and to make clean-up easier.
