Parchment paper

It is greaseproof paper that can be used for several different applications, its surface prevents the food from sticking, and also is highly heat-resistant with some brands capable of temperatures up to 420 °F (216 °C).

[2][3] A common use is to eliminate the need to grease sheet pans, allowing very rapid turn-around of batches of baked goods with minimal clean-up.

In other industries, parchment is used as a processing aid due to its release properties, whether for furniture laminate manufacturing and rubber vulcanization.

[citation needed] In creative forms such as origami thin uncoated parchment paper is often used for tessellations and complex models.

[citation needed] Parchment paper is composed of cellulosic fibers and therefore is considered compostable both in an industrial setting (EN13432) and at home.
