Hey there! Parchment paper is a versatile and practical tool to have in the kitchen, but one question that often comes up is: can you put parchment paper in the oven? The short answer is yes, you can put parchment paper in the oven – but with a few caveats.
First, it's important to note that parchment paper has a low smoking point and can ignite or burn if it comes into contact with direct heat or an open flame. This means you should never put parchment paper on the bottom of the oven or under the broiler. It's also a good idea to avoid placing parchment paper too close to the heating element, as it can cause the paper to catch fire.
Also –– it's SUPER IMPORTANT TO KNOW that you can't broil it! Cooking parchment paper above 450* is a hazard and we don't recommend it.
So, where can you use parchment paper in the oven? Parchment paper is great for lining baking sheets and cake pans when baking cookies, cakes, and other treats. Simply place the parchment paper on top of the pan, and clip with Parchies! Then, spoon or roll your dough onto the paper and bake as directed in your recipe.
But what about those pesky corners that like to curl up while the parchment paper is in the oven? That's where Parchies Baking Clips come in!
