When do you use wax paper vs parchment paper?

1 Answer

Answer :

My mom used to wrap my sandwiches in wax paper when she’d send me to school with lunch (this was in the 70’s). Parchment paper is for baking. I wouldn’t use wax paper for baking because the wax would melt on the food and the pans. Maybe you can use it in some circumstances, but I would just use parchment, which is also thicker. Wax paper can be used for the microwave.
