Baking paper<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0a very widely used tool and is never missing from the kitchen. It’s true: it’s convenient and fast and allows you not to dirty anything, but at the same time (a bit like everything that is disposable) it is not at all eco-sustainable. Instead of wondering\u00a0where to throw away baking paper,\u00a0\u00a0try to find an eco-friendly alternative: solutions exist. Here are some, such as\u00a0reusable baking paper<\/strong>\u00a0.Eco-friendly alternatives to baking paper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra virgin olive oil or butter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, when you cook\u00a0cakes<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0pizzas<\/strong>\u00a0instead of wasting baking paper you can simply grease the pan or cake pan with oil or butter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for pizza, it will be less light than the one prepared without fat, but it will also be tastier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silicone Baking Molds and Mats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s called\u00a0silicone baking paper<\/strong>\u00a0, or\u00a0baking mat<\/strong>\u00a0: it’s a\u00a0non-stick silicone sheet<\/strong>\u00a0that you can place on the baking tray just like baking paper, and that once used you can wash with hot water and detergent and potentially\u00a0reuse<\/strong>\u00a0endlessly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This method is suitable when you have to make cakes, muffins or biscuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compostable baking paper<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instead of the classic white baking paper you can choose the compostable one: the sheets are brown and made with natural fibers that decompose naturally, in fact after use you can\u00a0throw them in the<\/strong>\u00a0organic waste . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a valid alternative that you can use for all baked preparations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Don’t use anything<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It may seem trivial but for some foods baking paper is useless. Just think about when we toast<\/strong> something like hazelnuts, almonds, chestnuts or slices of bread<\/strong> . In these cases the food does not risk sticking so a layer on top of the pan is not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand,\u00a0aluminum foil<\/strong>\u00a0is not recommended for some cooking methods and should preferably be used only on top of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with its use is that it tends to\u00a0leave residues,<\/strong>\u00a0so it is better not to cook anything on the foil that risks sticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another disadvantage is the environmental impact of aluminum<\/strong> which, despite being recyclable, has a production process that requires the extraction of aluminum from bauxite, a process that can cause deforestation and damage to local ecosystems. Paper<\/strong> , on the other hand, is naturally biodegradable<\/strong> and if we choose its recycled version or that comes from sustainably managed forests (with the FSC logo) we will be sure to make a green choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
