greaseproof paper

Kitchen wrap alternative

Greaseproof paper is paper treated to resist penetration by oils and fats, used mainly in cooking and food packaging.

It lines baking pans, wraps sandwiches, and separates layers of stored food.

British English; Americans typically say wax paper or parchment paper, though these differ slightly in composition and heat tolerance.
