Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about choosing and using Essentially Natural ingredients.

What is greaseproof paper used for?

Greaseproof paper is commonly used to line trays, wrap oily or buttery products, and create a barrier between the product and the surface or packaging. It is often useful for baking, soap wrapping, and other DIY applications where grease resistance matters.

Is greaseproof paper the same as baking paper?

Not always. Greaseproof paper resists oil and moisture, but it may not have the same heat resistance or non-stick properties as baking paper. It is best to check the product page for the intended use.

Can I use greaseproof paper for food packaging?

Some greaseproof paper may be suitable for food contact, but you should not assume this unless it is clearly stated on the product page. “Food safe” and “food grade” are not always interchangeable.

Can greaseproof paper help separate products during storage?

Yes, it is often used between layers of oily, waxy, or delicate products to help prevent sticking and reduce mess. This can be useful for both food prep and handmade items, depending on the paper’s intended use.

Is greaseproof paper suitable for oven use?

That depends on the specific product. Some papers are intended for food wrapping or general use rather than baking, so always check the product page before using it with heat.
