This answer is likely to vary based on the brand of wax paper being used. It certainly depends on what you plan to bake with the wax paper.
Reynold's Cut-Rite wax paper is a popular brand of wax paper here in the US. According to the manufacturer's website, this wax paper cannot be used to line cookie sheets for baking cookies because the wax paper "cannot handle the heat" of the oven and exposed areas of wax paper will smoke. On the other hand, again according to the website, this wax paper can be used to line cake pans because the cake will cover the wax paper completely and prevent it from smoking.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAA !
You have made a mistake in life.
You smoked toxic wax paper, and now asking Wiki if it's a bad thing!
DRUGGY ;O
It is't toxic, You won't die from it but it'll probably taste bad
Yes they could make you very sick and you could possible die
No, it is edible if you had to. It might upset your stomach if it was actually burnt/blackened if you overbaked it.
From my own experience, its not a good idea to use wax paper. If you have to line a pan or cookie sheet use Parchment paper.
-no
yes
no
No soy wax paper cannot be baked do to the fact that the wax in the paper has a certain flammability. Another substitute is parchment paper. I used it all the time and it works great. There is not stick, unless you make a pastry with a liquid center (choclate, jam, cream) because if it spills on the paper it will burn and make the pastry stick. Hope this helps.
As long as the waxed paper isn't burnt into the bottom of the cookies there isn't a problem. Even then, wax paper isn't poisonous.
Very lightly moisten the back of the waxed paper and peel it off quickly before the dampness gets to the food.
wax paper is made out of wax,paer,and the trees 2 make the paper.
No, wax paper is not recyclable. It can't be recycled because is is coated with wax(thus the name "wax paper"). The wax paper can't be recycled with normal paper because the wax would mess up the recycling process.
Wax paper does not absorb heat. Wax paper is coated with paraffin, which does not allow heat to be absorbed. This allows wax paper to be used when cooking.
tracing paper is extremely thin translucent ordinary paper, you can write on it. wax paper is paper saturated with wax, you can't write on it.
Wax paper because it has wax in it and if something has wax in it, it attracks to heat and eventually forms it up and lets it out
wax paper is about 5cm thick
Wax paper has a thin coating of wax on one side, making it nonstick and moisture-resistant, whereas plain paper does not have any coating. Wax paper is often used for food storage, wrapping, and baking, while plain paper is used for writing, printing, and packaging.
Nope.... wax paper is wax coated paper, Freezer paper is white butchers paper with a plastic coating. Much thicker.
