Baking paper is a handy paper to have in the kitchen for regular use. Baking paper can be placed on a baking tray, in a cake tin and other baking tins, as a security barrier between the tin and the food being baked or cooked. This will prevent the food from sticking, burning or being directly affected by the baking dish.

To step

1. Buy baking paper. Baking paper is available in the baking department of the supermarket and specialty stores. It can likely be found in kitchen supply stores for making cakes, candies, and other treats. It is usually sold rolled up in a box.
   • Check your favorite health food or organic shop for baking paper that is made from recycled paper. The eco-friendly option is a good choice for paper that is disposed of after use.
2. Cover the baking pan with baking paper. Most types of baking tins can be lined with parchment paper, including baking trays and baking trays, baking pans and plates, cake tins and casseroles or casseroles. Keep in mind that baking paper is intended for not burning food; it is not suitable for collecting or holding back juices or moisture.
3. Cut the baking paper to size. To prevent pastries such as cakes, pies and slices from losing their shape, cut the baking paper so that it fits well in the baking tin.

4. Use baking paper as a non-stick surface for chocolate and candy. In addition to baking and cooking, baking paper is an excellent surface for chocolate and candy that is stiffening.
5. Use baking paper for various applications that are not common. Baking paper is useful for making pastries or icing cones, for measuring food, for wrapping gift boxes (ideal for candies and cookies) and for lining anything to store food. You can even cover drawers with it if you want!
   • parchment paper is great for covering baking trays used for heating chips and greasy food. This prevents the fat layer from making the leaf dirty.

Tips

• Don't confuse baking paper with wax paper. These are not the same and wax paper should not be used with a heat source (such as in an oven).
• Some cooks use butter to grease a baking surface such as a baking tray and then place the parchment paper on it so that it doesn't move when you add the dough, batter, etc. It's not really necessary, but if you want to do this to hold the parchment in place, just apply some grease to the corners of the baking sheet instead of greasing the entire surface.
• Silicone molds eliminate the need for baking paper. This can save you time if you don't want any hassle!
• Always use baking paper when the recipe calls for it.
• Baking paper can be composted, especially the recycled, eco-friendly kind.
