National Parchment Day

Every year, the last Wednesday of June is a real holiday for lovers of baking because it is National Parchment Day. Every cook knows parchment paper is indispensable when you want to bake cookies, brownies, rolls, pie, or cake. Or roasted meat, fish, poultry, or vegetables – all these dishes on parchment are juicy, not dried out, do not lose their flavor, and do not stick to the pan or baking tray.

History

National Parchment Day has been since 2016. This idea was initiated by PaperChef. The company responded to the spread of globalization and the rising popularity of travel, both of which have been linked to cooking in unusual ways. Using parchment paper proved to be not only convenient but also an environmentally friendly way of cooking. The purpose of this National Day is to promote the use of parchment for culinary purposes.

Parchment is heat-resistant, grease-proof, environmentally friendly, and recyclable. Food cooked on it does not burn and retains all the taste and valuable nutrients.

Interesting Facts

Cooking with parchment paper has a long history in French cooking. They call it en papillote and use it to cover the bottom of dishes.
