How to Swap to Non-Toxic parchment paper:
Here's how to swap to non-toxic parchment paper:
What to know about parchment paper
Parchment paper is used for baking and cooking, often in direct contact with food at high temperatures. What the paper is coated with and how it is bleached matters because heat can cause coatings to break down and transfer to your food.
- Most parchment paper is coated with silicone to make it non-stick, but some products use other synthetic coatings or are treated with chlorine bleach during manufacturing.
- Because parchment paper touches food directly and is heated repeatedly, the materials it is made from deserve attention.
Check the parchment paper you have now
Look at the packaging of the parchment paper in your kitchen. Check for details about the coating, bleaching process, and any temperature limits listed by the manufacturer.
- Look for terms like 'unbleached,' 'chlorine-free,' or 'silicone-coated' on the box — these are good signs.
- If the packaging does not list what the coating is made of or how the paper is processed, check the brand's website for more details.
Use your current parchment paper more safely
If you are not ready to replace your parchment paper yet, a few simple habits can reduce what transfers to your food. These small changes are easy to adopt right away.
- Never exceed the maximum temperature printed on the box — most parchment paper is rated for 420–450°F, and going higher can cause the coating to break down.
- Avoid reusing the same sheet multiple times, especially if it is darkened, brittle, or starting to flake.
Choose cleaner parchment paper
Look for unbleached parchment paper with a simple silicone coating and no added dyes or fragrances. Fewer processing steps generally means fewer things that can end up in your food.
- Choose unbleached, chlorine-free parchment paper that is clearly labeled as silicone-coated — skip products with vague descriptions like 'non-stick coating' that do not specify the material.
