Product Information

You also need baking paper. There’s another product that is similar to baking paper and it is called parchment paper. Now, these two can confuse you! When you start making your own bread at home, at the time to shop for all the tools and materials needed to make a new batch of loaves of bread, parchment paper will be on your list, but which one to buy: white or brown? So, what’s the difference between baking paper and parchment paper? Well, baking paper and parchment paper are essentially the same. Wax paper cannot be used for baking, however parchment paper may. Although parchment paper is oven-safe, putting wax paper in the oven might cause it to melt and catch on fire. When I started to make my own bread at home, I attended first to general cooking classes at school, and then when I wanted to learn more about baking, I attended to some short courses with professional bakers, and all the teachers tend to use white parchment paper.

The obvious difference between wax and parchment paper is that one is made of wax and the other one is made from silicon. Wax paper cannot be used inside an oven because it’s a fire hazard but you can use parchment paper that is heat resistant because it’s made of silicon. While I was researching about white and brown parchment paper, the question about if one or the other are compostable, got my attention, after being baking my own bread at home, I never thought about parchment paper could be placed in the compost. Baking paper is manufactured by immersing paper pulp in chemicals like zinc chloride, or by coating paper with a silicone-like substance. It is a great substitute for cooking grease and wax paper. Baking paper, also called bakery paper, silicon paper, or butter paper. It is also known as parchment paper in some countries. As some of its alternative names suggest, baking paper is mostly made using silicone.

Aluminum foil is oven-friendly. However, you shouldn’t use it for baking in a microwave because the material is not as heat resilient as bakery paper.

I must say I’m a cook and a baker, when I studied at school, there was some chemistry classes about food, but teachers never went deeper into the chemistry of the tools we use for cooking or baking. Butter paper is simply another name that is used instead of bakery paper. It is one of the many varieties that people call parchment paper.

But for other purposes like freezing, storing, funneling, you can use both of them safely. Apart from its material, wax paper and parchment paper don’t have many differences. Wax Paper Vs Parchment Paper: Comparison Table
