When baking and running out of parchment paper, many people don't know how to replace it.
It seems that there are no full-fledged analogues, but this is not entirely true.
Therefore, it is worth remembering several options for replacing parchment paper.
Useful information was shared by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova .
Butter or butter
When parchment is not available, oil or butter will do the trick. Simply coat the bottom of the pan or baking sheet with a thin layer of butter to prevent food from sticking.
This method is ideal for baking and frying, ensuring easy release of food from the pan.
Foil
Foil is another great substitute for parchment. Cut a piece of foil and place it on the bottom of a pan or baking sheet.
Foil provides non-stick protection and is convenient for cooking.
Silicone mat
Silicone mats are great for baking and replacing parchment paper. Simply place the mat on a baking sheet and place the dough or other ingredients on it.
Silicone does not stick, which makes it easier to remove finished products and simplifies the cleaning process.
Of course, you should not allow the silicone mat to come into contact with the heating elements. The most interesting thing is that many people do not even realize that the mat can be an alternative to parchment paper.
Special lubricants
There are special cooking lubricants on the market that provide a non-stick coating and improve the quality of baked goods.
These products can come in the form of sprays, creams or sprayable oils that are easily applied to the surface of the pan or tray.
Before using them, it is important to read the instructions carefully to avoid common mistakes.
