What the AI looks for in Baking Parchment
- Coating
- Buy parchment with a silicone coating, not waxed paper. Wax melts and smokes in the oven, while a silicone coating gives a heat-resistant release.
- Format
- Precut flat sheets sized to your pan beat rolls for frequent baking. Rolled paper curls up and lifts dough away from the pan.
- Heat rating
- Check the stated maximum temperature, commonly around 420–450°F, before using parchment for pizza or high-heat bread. Above its rating, parchment darkens, turns brittle and can scorch.
- Width
- Choose a roll width that covers your largest pan in one piece. Narrow rolls force you to overlap sheets, and batter seeps through the seams.
Brands that matter
- Reynolds Kitchens: A mainstream silicone-coated roll.
- If You Care: Unbleached parchment rolls and sheets.
What to avoid
- Wax paper used as an oven liner
- Using parchment under the broiler or above its rated temperature
