Some of you may have overheard the conversation Wednesday about waxed paper in the oven.
Well, today I walked into the VA family kitchen to find Mrs. Murry's daily cookies cooling on the cookie sheet. Low and behold . . . what was on the cookie sheet that had been in the oven? Paper!!! Was it wax paper? Surely not! I moved closer and as I looked one of the other wives came to say hello. I said, "Tell me that is NOT waxed paper on that cookie sheet!!" She said, "Of course, not! You can't put waxed paper in the oven. It's PARCHMENT paper." I said, "I've never put waxed paper in the oven for fear it would melt or catch on fire." She replied, "Oh, I think it basically just starts smoking!!!"
Sound like a conversation any of you have heard recently?
So, I just had to google it tonight. This is too funny. You can find anything on the web.

Wow! I didn't know that about parchment paper and wax paper. My cookies usually burn and taste horrible. Now I want some cookies!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mrs. White. I feel so special. But I know I am not the only one who has done that. Well, maybe in the class, but not the only one in the world. But then again I am the one who thought the building had a 5th floor so anything is possible.
ReplyDeleteSo now we all know we can NOT put wax paper in the oven. I didnt know about parchment paper.. I might have to try it.
