Does anyone use this, and what are it's merits over good old greaseproof or foil, to line your baking tins. Have looked at some cake recipes this morning and it is recommended.
Many Thanks

NO different to good old greaseproof really, but perhaps a little purer paper....but it is excellent to use, so go ahead and use it.

What are you baking?

Thqnks TW, but, do I grease it. Also, aswell as putting it in the base of the tine, do I line the sides aswell with it.
What am I baking.
Well, just lately I have been wanting to get back into cake making, and had a lovely sounding Choc. Marble Cake recipe given by an *absent* friend last weekend, which I must try soon. But, in this weeks edition of the 'Woman's Weekly' there is a selection of 'tray bakes'. I have opted for the 'Espresso Walnut', which to me seems just like a Coffee and Walnut Cake, but in a tray instead of a cake tin, as such. Also making Pizza from scratch, using the bread maker to make the dough, also courtesey of another *absent* friend on here.

I use Baking parchment to line the bottom of my bread tins. As I make all our bread I use the same parchment many times; I just leave it in the tin until it needs replacing.

It never sticks to the food, is cheap and Delia uses it!

I suppose greaseproof would do the same job.

Wildgoose, if Delia uses it, then it is good enough for me. LOLOL

There is a thread about baking parchment on the Martin Lewis money saving site and people on there say you don't need to grease baking parchment and can re-use it if it doesn't get too greasy from the food. It apparently doesn't stick to anything either.

Thanks all,. I am just used to using the old methods, will have to modernise myself.
Went through a period some years ago when brown Kraft paper was sarce for some reason. So, often, when I was in the Co-op on my way to work, early morning, I would bag any going free, off their packaging for those larger fruit cakes and Christmas cakes.
Will get some parchment when I do my M******sons on Friday
Thanks again everybody

Baking parchment is cheap in W*lk*ns*n's. Ditto 20 m of foil for under 80p, clingfilm.

I never buy this kind of thing in M*******sons.

Julia - I go around saying 'Delia says or does' this or that. Wonderful woman.

They say you dont' need to grease it, but if you really are worried, either try it on something small without greasing first, just to put your mind at ease about it...or just grease lightly as normal. It doesn't matter one bit.

Wildgoose, thanks for the tip
