Our grocery stores do carry the cut sheets of parchment paper. They are folded in 4ths and split very easy on the creases. I use have of a sheet for my small sheet pans.
Yeah but I like to use that for a big area. It's on a huge roll like a Christmas roll and I don't know if it's waxed but I think it is and you can't put that in the microwave because I just did some more research on it after reading the tips on here. I think parchment paper is what I need but it does come in 9x13 sheets which might be a little larger than I need. Whereas the deli sheets come in 10x10 or 12x12. But I think a lot of those are waxed. Then I'm going to stick it all in a big gallon bag. I think I may have some parchment sheets in there but I don't think they're 9x13 but I'm going to check it out because I'm pretty sure they're too large for what I'm doing with these little breakfast burritos.
How do you feel about using plastic wrap...forgive me if you already nixed that idea...I'm asking because I do Breakfast Sandwiches (like a copycat McMuffin), and the instructions say to wrap in plastic wrap and then put into a zip lock and freeze. When you want to reheat one, you just vet one end of the plastic so the sandwich doesn't "steam" and become soggy. I find it easy enough for the sandwiches and great/easy/quick breakfast.
I just hate wrestling with plastic wrap.
I used to have that problem...then, I found the Reynolds brand with the built in cutter. It works well for me. But, I do have to think about what I'm doing...pull it straight out and lay it out on the counter. Then, it is easy.
Mine have cutters on them but they just stick to themselves and I am not a patient person.
So do I. I would cut a piece of parchment paper and save the leftover bits. Sometimes I lose them. Sometimes I get annoyed at always finding them in the parchment paper container and throw them in the recycling, but sometimes I actually use the scraps.
I too had the last of the chicken salad yesterday, but today, split the smallest cantaloupe ever with hobby and pups; not enuff for me, so a piece of wwheat toasted with schmaltz, coffee earlier.
This is the type of stuff I use. I buy it at the Big Box store (Costco, perhaps) in boxes of 500 sheets for about 16 dollars for 2 boxes. They come in pop-up boxes like a box that you would pull tissues from. They do not feel as waxy as regular wax paper. And they are thinner, and not as stiff. I use the sheets to line my adorable little red baskets sometimes as well. I wrap sandwiches for picnics, veggies for packing, etc.
When I was researching about these papers, it was saying it likes the waxed papers for freezing and it said to put the waxy side up next to the meat. I really didn't understand that. And then it said not to microwave in them but I got to believe that some of them are fine to microwave in like you say. I would think that if you wrapped them with the waxy side out it couldn't hurt anything.
It's moisture (water) repellant, not fat-repellant.
