Re: cooking papers: parchment and silicone

[Guest guest]

For anyone who's interested in reading about it, I did a lot of info.

gathering on parchment paper and the new silicone pans. It came about

because a friend vocalized her dislike of wax paper. It's all posted

I'm still using up the end of my parchment but will be buying some high

end silicone when it's done.

Kind regards,

vegetable parchment paper

A paper made by passing a WATERLEAF sheet through a bath of sulfuric acid, or

(at times)

zinc chloride, under established conditions of time, temperature, and the like.

The treated

paper is then washed thoroughly so as to remove the acid or zinc salt, after

which it is

dried. The chemical partially dissolves or gelatinizes the paper, which is then

regenerated

when the chemical is diluted by the washing. This forms a very tough, stiff,

smooth paper

with an appearance somewhat like that of a genuine parchment. Because paper

treated in

this manner has a tendency to become brittle and to wrinkle upon drying, it is

frequently

treated with a plasticizing agent, usually glycerine or glucose. The waterleaf

sheet is made

from rag or (more usually) chemical wood pulp. (17 , 82 , 143 )

I'd really like to try the silicone but I'm still afraid of it; I guess

because it's so new.

And statements like the one below that I read in the post (when I clicked on

the link provided) don't exactly give me warm fuzzies. The FDA's 'approval'

of a product means absolutely nothing to me.

" It meets all FDA requirements. "

How about stainless steel cookie sheets?

That's what I've used since getting the alum. out of the house.

(That and glass and cast iron)

Does anyone know of a problem with stainless steel?
