baking parchment

Nonstick cooking paper

Baking parchment is paper treated with silicone to create a nonstick, heat-resistant surface for cooking.

It lines baking sheets and cake pans to prevent sticking and ease cleanup: I always line the pan with baking parchment when making cookies.

Also called parchment paper.
