Question: parchment paper is it the same as wax paper?
Answer: Because parchment paper is heat-safe and nonstick, it's used constantly in baking to line sheet trays and cake pans. ... (Some people call it "waxed paper" not "wax paper," but we are not those people.) Wax paper also comes in a roll and has a similar look and feel to parchment paper, but does not perform the same way.
