Why Use Parchment Paper?

Theres always a certain amount of chaos in my kitchen.

The oven is screamin hot. There are egg yolk in the egg whites. Flour : Everywhere. I have an 8-inch round pan,f a 913-inch pan, a burnt saute pan from Ikea, and a wooden spoon.and now I need a special spring-form pan just for a cheesecake!? Yea

Also theres flour everywhere. A cat, too. The cat, however, is medium normal.

There is something that can ease my chaos. Ok there are a lot of things that can ease the chaos: a dishwasher and a kitchen assistant, for starters. But Im thinking of something that costs far far less parchment paper!

Let me tell you a roll of parchment paper is a lifesaver in the kitchen!

Its worthy of roasting garlic. Its everything when it comes to baking cookies and roasting vegetables. Its a nonstick wonder, and makes clean-up a breeze. Parchment paper is also, often, reusable. If I make cookies, I simple remove the cooled parchment, fold it up, and save it for the next round of baking.

Other incredible parchment paper uses: sifting flour, gift wrapping, and food styling.

Parchment paper isnt just for Martha Stewart-like home bakers, or pastry professio! nals. Pa rchment paper was designed for people like us people who dont want to dirty a spatula just to get fresh cookies off a baking pan.

A warning: parchment paper does not belong anywhere near a broiler. Thats how one sets their house ablaze.

Please consider this a useful tip, a high-five, and a loving shove into the kitchen get cooking!
