Baking V's Greaseproof Paper
In The Kitchen with Jo.
I have fond memories of baking paper and grease proof paper as a child. From using it for my homework and assignments for tracing images, to mum wrapping my jam sambo’s for lunch. I would confidently say that nearly every household in Australia has had a roll or two of these universal papers.
What’s the difference? Well one has a wax coating and the other has a silicone coating.
Let’s start with the baking paper and its uses.
BAKING PAPER: It is silicone coated on both sides and is heat resistance up to to 230oC, which allows a multitude of cooking uses. It can also be used in both microwave and conventional ovens.
Some suggestions for use:
* line sandwich makers, frying pans or cake tins to minimize clean up time.
* Store cold meats and cheeses as it maintains the flavor and increases the preservation time.
* Great to place in between cuts of meat or pastry before freezing.
* Create parcels to cook meals in to help preserve moisture and flavor.
* Perfect for cake trays, disposable pipping bags and for rolling out dough.
Here at Centaur Packaging we have a few different sizes and ways to purchase this.
From our 405 x 710mm pre cut baking sheets, perfect for those big trays to the 120m rolls available in two widths 30cm x 120m and 40 x 120m.
GREASE PROOF PAPER: This paper has a wax coating, creating a barrier.
Some suggestions for use:
* Great for using with uncooked pastry.
* You can use this to line your cake tins but just remember to grease after lining the pan for those cakes that may be low in fat.
* line baskets or plates for fried food.
* Wrap up your sandwich or burgers also.
