Parchment paper is actively used by many housewives when preparing food.
Has anyone thought about the risks of using it?
If used incorrectly or if mistakes are made, the parchment can even catch fire inside the oven. Therefore, it is worth considering 3 rules that must be followed.
You need to use high quality parchment.
Low-quality parchment sheets may be less resistant to high temperatures, which can cause them to burn during cooking.
When choosing parchment, pay attention to its thickness and temperature resistance. It is best to choose products that indicate that they can be used in the oven.
Avoid contact with heating elements
If not positioned correctly, the parchment may come into contact with heating coils or other elements, which could cause it to catch fire.
It is important to make sure that the parchment fits completely inside the pan or on the baking sheet and does not stick out over the edges.
Do not overheat
Although parchment is generally resistant to high temperatures, excessive exposure to heat can cause it to ignite or even catch fire.
It is important to note a simple fact: theoretically, parchment can catch fire at temperatures of 220 degrees and above. Of course, if the parchment is of high quality, the risk of fire is minimal, but in any case, you should be careful.
