TN Mama Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I found that out first hand several years ago. Yeah... it wasn't pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Wax paper is not the same as Parchment paper But it can be used interchangeably, right? Or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Mama Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Parchment paper = can be used in the oven Wax paper = not so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Parchment paper = can be used in the ovenWax paper = not so much Really? I use it every time I bake a cake. I cut out a circle of wax paper to line the cake pan so it doesn't stick. Never had a problem with it, and I thought that's the kind of thing waxed paper was for. So what's the problem with it?

gardening momma Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Really? I use it every time I bake a cake. I cut out a circle of wax paper to line the cake pan so it doesn't stick. Never had a problem with it, and I thought that's the kind of thing waxed paper was for. So what's the problem with it? Melted wax? Maybe it's getting onto the bottom of your cake and you don't notice it (?). At the least, I suppose it would melt onto your pan, but I would think it would clean off OK. I do the same thing for cakes (cutting out the circle of paper), but with parchment paper. Traditionally, wasn't wax paper often used to wrap sandwiches and such? I always keep a roll of it in my wrap/foil drawer, but hardly ever use it. Only when I'm using it for an outside-the-oven project, like no bake cookies, or some toy that I'm gluing so it won't stick to the paper when it's dry.

Starr Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 You can use waxed paper under cake batter. I wait to see what she used it for? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat19 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Last year when I made the saltine toffee, I lined my pan with parchment paper. So while I was at the store, I thought oh wax paper~same thing. Made my toffee, got it ready to cut~the wax paper was stuck to the bottom of the graham crackers and the pan. Good thing I used an older pan. On the wax paper box it says you can use it to bake a cake. Guess you can't use it to make toffee :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I used it once to bake cookies. I didn't have any tin foil and thought I was being brilliant to use the wax paper and not have to wash the cookie sheets afterward. What I ended up with was some very, very drippy cookie sheets coated with melted wax. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
