Baking parchment is very useful in the kitchen. It is able to make it much easier for housewives to cook in the oven, providing a more even effect of heat on food. In addition, there is no need to wash dishes after it.
It is necessary
- - parchment paper;
- - products prepared for baking;
- - baking sheet.
Instructions
Step 1
Parchment is a special paper impregnated with sulfuric acid or with a thin silicone coating. The one impregnated with acid is durable, elastic, moisture resistant, and tolerates high temperatures well. This material is soaked in oil before placing baked goods on it. Silicone-impregnated parchment is not necessary - it will not absorb the grease released by the products, so they do not stick to the surface. Silicone coated material can withstand temperatures of 280-300 ° C.
Step 2
For baking in the oven, it is better to use parchment with a thin silicone coating, which will greatly increase the heat resistance of the material. It will not burn and smoke, it will not stick to baked goods. On the packaging of parchment, the temperature is indicated, which is the maximum for this type of paper, so check this indicator before use.
Step 3
Place the parchment on a baking sheet. It is not necessary to lubricate it with oil - a special impregnation will not allow the products to stick to the paper. The molded products must be placed on parchment. You can shape the dough pieces to the desired shape right on the baking sheet. Thanks to parchment, baked products hold their shape well, do not crumble or stick to the surface.
Step 4
Place the baking sheet in the oven. If you are preparing meringues, the temperature must be low - such a product is not so much baked as it is dried. It is convenient to use parchment when baking products with a filling inside - it can flow out and stick to the baking sheet, which makes it difficult to remove the products later. This is easier with parchment paper.
Step 5
If you are going to bake bread, it must be put on parchment to stand, and then transferred to a baking sheet directly on the paper. The silicone coating can withstand the high temperatures required for baking bread.
Step 6
When baked goods are ready, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Separating the baked goods from the parchment will be much easier and more convenient than using any other material. Choux cakes, crumbly dough perfectly hold their shape when baked on such material - you just have to carefully remove the finished products. The cooled cookies can be decorated with icing by making a pastry bag from a piece of the same parchment.
