Untitled[edit]

Really, guys? Baking parchment is absolutely not the same as legal parchment, and it is certainly not sold with the intention that it be used as a medium for writing. Don't believe me? Go get some baking paper and all the writing tools you can find, and see how well it works (hint: it's coated in silicone, nothing is going to stick to it. Not pencil, ink, sharpie, toner, paint, blood, charcoal...). Legal parchment is a type of heavy and durable paper, traditionally made of dried animal hides. It is whst diolomas are printed on. These are two very different products, they are not interchangable and it's unfortunate that we've taken to calling them by the same name (although many people do not use the word "parchment" in reference to the baking paper). 2600:1014:B060:193D:B01B:C75:9346:51C2 (talk) 08:34, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are right it isn't the same, but it's not always silicone treated. Stub Mandrel (talk) 15:56, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Legal parchment is NOT made of dried animal hides: I just burnt a small piece and there was no offensive smell. But anyway it is not the same as baking parchment paper. chami 15:06, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

I've removed protection on this page since it didn't appear to need it any longer. Copyright issues were a once-off in 2007. --RA (talk) 17:20, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Recyclability[edit]

Parchment paper is recyclable in civic composting programs. Should this quality be included in WIKI articles about other materials, as well? Grandma Roses (talk) 00:18, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Greaseproof Paper[edit]

Baking parchment is either the same as greaseproof paper or a subset of it (chemically treated) depending on your perspective. Should the articles be merged? Stub Mandrel (talk) 15:56, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

gelatin?[edit]

You say "This process partially dissolves or gelatinizes the paper" Neither acid or ZnCl2 is going to dissolve cellulose. Also, gelatin is an animal protein- what do you mean by "gelatinizes"? But you did not say how it becomes grease proof. chami 15:01, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
