Parchment paper


Also called bakery paper, parchment paper is a cellulose-based paper that serves as a non-stick surface for use in baking. The paper can be used instead of greasing a surface to aid in easy release of the baked item. For instance, a baking sheet can be lined with parchment paper instead of coating it with butter or cooking spray.
