There are many types of baking paper, each with its specific uses and advantages and disadvantages. The following are several common baking papers and their detailed introduction:
Baking paper: Baking paper is the most common and easy-to-buy type of baking paper, mainly used to prevent cookies, cakes, etc. from sticking to the baking tray. Its advantages are low price and easy purchase, and it can be cut into any shape for use. However, baking paper is disposable and cannot be reused.
Grease-proof paper: Also known as baking paper, oven paper or steamer paper, it is mainly used to pad under food when baking bread, cakes and cookies to keep the baking tray clean. The surface of grease-proof paper is not shiny and has a good oil-proof effect, but it is not suitable for occasions that require waterproofing.
Translucent paper: Also known as oil paper, glassine paper or glossy paper, the surface is super-calendered and has a glossy luster. It has similar uses to grease-proof paper, but it is less waterproof and is usually used in occasions that require transparency.
Silicone oil paper : Also known as barbecue paper, baking paper or silicone coated paper, it is made by coating special paper with food grade silicone oil. Silicone oil paper is resistant to high temperatures, and food is not easy to stick to the paper, making it suitable for barbecue and baking. Its advantages are high temperature resistance and good peeling, but the quality of products on the market is uneven, and it is recommended to choose a big brand to ensure safety.
