Is parchment paper and wax paper the same? Give proof of answer?
Q. I have directions on how to make a 'recycled tote' and you use plastic bags and parchment paper, you put the parchment paper outside the plastic bags and then melt them together with an iron. I don't have parchment paper, but I do have wax paper, will that work? Are parchment and wax the same? Please give proof of your answer, a website or something. Thanks!

A. waxed paper is parchment with wax on each side so that it doesn't stick to things like cakes and when freezing can keep crepes separated. Ok, If you try to iron the waxed paper the wax will melt off onto your iron. Why not use some pretty wrapping paper? That would work too. The point of the project is to make a bag that is reinforced with plastic between 2 sheets of paper. Any paper will work, even notebook paper. The waxed paper will make an unending mess on the iron, with you getting a scrubbie pad and scouring the face of the iron for a few hours. Also it will make a mess on the ironing board.

A. It's fine I do it all the time. The wax is food safe, so if you eat it, no sweat. I prefer parchment paper, but if you don't have it available, wax paper will be just fine.

A. Wax paper is okay to use to line pans but not to cover them nor to bake cookies on top of for the oven. If your looking for something to bake the cookies on try parchment paper. You can bake several batches of cookies before having to use a new sheet and you can use it to line baking pans as well. This has no wax film on it at all and can be purchased at the local supermarket.

A. baking sheet aka cookie sheet is a metal pan that's flat and, sometimes, has small sides. used to bake cookies on. For cinnamon rolls, I would use a glass baking dish, if you have one, lined with parchment paper. The parchment paper will prevent the cinnamon rolls from sticking and make clean up easier.

A. Foil will work without spray on the dull side of the foil, not the shiny side... I've been in a bind and it worked for my chocolate covered strawberries. Also when setting, make sure they are not sitting in direct light as in kitchen lighting, as iit tends to slow the chocolate setting process.

can i bake a freeform pie on wax paper?
Q. i'm making a pie and i don't have a pie pan. so i'm gonna just make a freeform pie right on the pan but i was wondering if i can use wax paper instead of just greasing the pan.
Asked by Slappn - Wed Nov 21 12:27:21 2007 - Cooking & Recipes - 5 Answers - Comments

A. No wax paper. It will burn and smoke and smell like a petrochemical plant. You shouldn't have to grease your pan for a pie. Pie dough is plenty greasy as it is. You could use parchment underneath it if you're fussy. This is what chefs do. If you wanted to use an underliner and didn't have parchment, you could use a brown paper bag cut open. Do you know how to shape a freeform pie? Here are some good instructions at Martha Stewart's place: Note that the crust should be a bit thicker than usual (if your dough isn't pre-rolled).

A. You'll use it waxed side toward the food, for both non-stick and storage qualities. The wax keeps food covered without sticking, and it also acts as a moisture barrier, keeping liquid either in or out (depending on your need).
