I believe that everyone will encounter two common types of food paper in the process of making food. These two types of food paper are tin foil and oil paper. In fact, judging from the names, these two types of food paper are easy to distinguish. , even from the appearance, people can easily tell what is tinfoil and what is oil paper, but many users do not know the difference in use of tinfoil and oil paper, so in order for everyone to not use tinfoil and oil paper in the future If you are confused, we will introduce tin foil and oil paper to you in today's article.

What is tinfoil?

Tin foil has good thermal conductivity and sealing properties. When baking some recipes of meat or vegetables, wrapping the ingredients in tin foil can lock in moisture and make the food taste fresh and tender. You can also use foil when baking cookies or bread to prevent them from sticking. When baking meat, we can also place tinfoil on the bottom of the baking pan to absorb the grease, making it easier to clean the baking tray

Purpose of tinfoil

Put it on the baking tray to avoid cleaning The hassle of baking sheets, especially when baking snacks and biscuits, will definitely be used! When baking a cake, cover it with tin foil during baking to prevent the surface from getting too dark. Another advantage is that the surface of the cake can be spread evenly Thermal radiation reduces surface cracking. Friends who often grill meat can use it to wrap meat and grill it, so that the grilled meat will be more tender and moist. You can also use it to wrap the movable bottom mold into a solid bottom mold (click here for the wrapping method), so that you can use the water bath baking method without buying a solid bottom mold.

What is oil paper

Oil paper is a kind of high-temperature resistant baking paper that has been siliconized. When baking biscuits, place it on the baking sheet to prevent the biscuits from sticking. A small amount of spilled grease will be easier to clean if it sticks to the baking sheet. A piece of oil paper can basically be reused 2 or 3 times. If the oil paper changes color or has a lot of residue stuck on it, it should be replaced. If the cake mold you purchased has poor anti-sticking effect on the toast box, making demoulding inconvenient, you can cut the oil paper into an appropriate size and place it inside the mold to facilitate the demoulding of the finished product. In addition, when making Chinese snacks such as steamed buns and steamed buns, you can also use oil paper to pad the steamer, which also has an anti-stick effect.

The purpose of oil paper

When making cake rolls, oil paper is an indispensable tool. Firstly, it can be placed on the baking sheet to facilitate the cake demoulding; secondly, the oil paper is relatively soft and can be easily rolled up with a rolling pin when rolling the cake. Since the material of tinfoil is relatively hard, it definitely cannot be replaced with tinfoil. Because aluminum foil paper cannot be microwaved, oil paper must be used when microwaves are needed.

In the above, we have introduced you to some information about tinfoil and oil paper. In this article, we mainly introduce to you some knowledge about the differences between tinfoil and oil paper. You can read We have divided this article into four parts to explain it to you. First, in the first part we introduce what tinfoil is, then in the second part of the article we introduce the specific uses of tinfoil, and finally we introduce it to you What is oil paper and the specific uses of oil paper? I believe everyone can now distinguish between tin foil and oil paper.
