In today’s comparison post, we shall learn about the uses and features of Teflon sheets, butcher paper, and parchment paper. Butcher paper is a thick kraft paper made out of the wood pulp and is commonly used in BBQ making. Manufacturers treat it to be very strong and durable. Butcher paper typically comes in rolls …
Parchment paper does not contain Teflon. These two are different materials but either can be used in T-shirt pressing and baking. Parchment paper is silicon-coated (without Teflon), and non-stick, and it resists burning up to 450º F which makes it very convenient to use in the oven. Ultimately, I think it might just come down …
The souring of milk is both physical and chemical. The state of sourness is a process triggered by the breakage and formation of chemical bonds by bacteria, a chemical reaction that produces food for the bacteria, with the waste products being acidic. This increased acidity then causes conformational (mechanical) changes in the milk proteins, proteins …
Freezing water is a physical change, NOT a chemical one. Water molecules remain as water molecules, still with two hydrogen atoms and a singular oxygen atom. Therefore, no chemical changes occur during its frozen/freezing state. Instead, the water molecules arrange in a regular manner and adopt what is known as a crystalline structure. Why is …
A chemical reaction happens while cooking. It refers to the process where the cooked material will not return to its previous state. The substance that undergoes change chemically will lose its previous identity due to the transfer of heat. The heat results in some changes to the original material and aids in the breakdown of …
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a term used to refer to a group of man-made chemicals that are used to provide stain resistance, water resistance, and grease resistance to various products on the market at the moment. Yes, it does sound great until you find out how much harm it does to human bodies …
Organic wax paper does not contain pfas or any other toxins. However, we cannot say the same for all the other types of wax papers on the market. The safety of organic wax paper or food-grade wax-coated paper is one of the reasons we recommend it. It’s an essential kitchen supply that is important in …
Forever chemicals, otherwise known as PFAS are commonly used in consumer products that make human lives easier. Although the products containing PFAS offer better convenience – it does so with a health risk a lot of us aren’t aware of and that we likely wouldn’t accept if we knew about it. Yes, parchment paper does …
