Taste & Role
It lines bamboo steamers, baking pans, and air fryer baskets so delicate foods like dumplings, buns, and fish release cleanly without sticking. It also keeps food intact during cooking and makes cleanup much easier.
What it is
Parchment paper is a food-safe paper coated with silicone, which makes it non-stick, moisture-resistant, and heat-tolerant. In Chinese kitchens it is often called silicone oil paper and sold as pre-cut squares or rounds sized for steamers. It can typically handle oven temperatures up to about 420°F.
