I don't think wax paper goes in the oven either

[-] BellaDonna@mujico.org 9 points 10 months ago

As someone who doesn't cook, now I'm not clear on which you don't put in the oven, and what kind of paper you are supposed to use.

[-] droans@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Parchment can go in the oven. Wax paper will catch on fire if you try.

I learned it the hard way.

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

That's what disposable baking sheets are, though

[-] yA3xAKQMbq@lemm.ee 22 points 10 months ago

Nah. Parchment paper goes into the oven, that’s another name for baking sheets. Waxed paper is used to wrap your sandwich. If you put waxed paper in the oven – well, see picture above.

FYI, some baking paper contains PFAS, the group of chemicals that also PTFE (aka Teflon) belongs to, which is… not good.

Ah, you learn something new everyday!

Been while since I bought waxed paper, is it cheaper than parchment paper? I'm assuming it must be or why wouldn't you just use parchment paper instead?

[-] wclinton93@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Parchment is better for heat, wax paper is better with sticky stuff. My mom uses it to roll cookie dough into cylinders. Then she can refrigerate them and unroll it cleanly to cut into discs so she doesn't have to form dough balls by hand. If you need a permanently-non-stick, moldable surface, wax paper is pretty good.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Oh cool. That's a great example of a usecase. Thanks

[-] yA3xAKQMbq@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Don’t know, don’t use baking paper at all

[-] Eccitaze@yiffit.net 2 points 10 months ago

Wax and parchment paper have VERY similar branding in the US, to the point where it's easy to confuse the two

[-] dvlsg@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Wax paper can start on fire if you put it in the oven, parchment paper does not. Hence, the OP.

[-] Stinkywinks@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago

I've seen those under pizzas, but those look to be a thicker, cardboard type material. I just googled "can you put wax paper in the oven". My 2 sec google says no. I've never had a reason to, but I'm not a professional cook.
