I use their parchment paper any time I bake something in a pan that is made from aluminum as it creates a barrier which helps prevent aluminum from seeping into the food during cooking. I also use parchment paper for baking cakes, brownies, muffins, using a tortilla press, etc. I reuse parchment paper multiple times and then discard it into my compost bin when it’s soiled.<\/p>\n
How to check for cake doneness<\/h3>\n
Here’s five ways to check for cake doneness:<\/p>\n
\n
If a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean without batter on it<\/li>\n
If a fork inserted into the center comes out clean without batter on it<\/li>\n
