When a bakery is operating several ovens and going through a full production shift, they don’t have time for someone standing at a roll, cutting and measuring paper by hand between each batch. That’s why pre-cut parchment paper sheets are available to fit standard pan sizes, so that the baker can, in a flash, line a tray and get on with the rest. While it may be a minor convenience, it can mean the difference between real time savings when used in dozens of trays throughout the day.

 

What are Parchment Paper Sheets?

Unlike rolls that need to be cut, Parchment paper sheets are pre-cut baking paper  and silicone-coated to fit standard commercial baking pans. Non-stick parchment prevents the food from sticking to the pan, thus eliminating grease and oil, and the pre-cut nature does away with an additional preparation step.

 

What makes Professional Bakeries make the switch to Pre-Cut Sheets?

That’s clearly the first thing that comes to mind, but there’s more. These pan liner paper  are built to bakery standard pan sizes, thereby eliminating the waste associated with manually cutting rolls and creating gaps between the edges of the pan or overhanging the edges, which interferes with pan loading. If a bakery is using an oven at a high heat for hours on end, a heavy-duty parchment will survive repeated use as opposed to a lesser consumer-grade parchment. When purchasing supplies such as bakery packaging sheets, parchment sheets, or any other packaging requirements, it is also good to know that when purchasing from a bakery packaging manufacturer, the cost per sheet will be lower than that which a commercial bakery would get from a general kitchen supply store when purchasing supplies in the volumes needed by a bakery.

 

When choosing a pre-cut sheet, you’ll want to consider the following things.

The size of the sheet must be exact to the size of the real pan, and not just close, as there is no point in having pre-cut sheets if they don’t fit properly. The most popular are half-sheet pans and full-sheet pans, but bakeries with non-standard equipment may require custom-cut sizing. Heavy-duty parchment should be tested for durability at high and continuous oven temperatures, rather than for a single short baking, because commercial ovens are hotter and bake for longer than domestic ovens. The quality of the coating directly affects the release performance, and if the coating is not uniform, the release performance of the same batch of sheets will be inconsistent.

 

Parchment paper is used in a wide variety of settings. 

Non-Stick Parchment are used in high-volume bakeries to line trays for bread, pastries, cookies, and other baked goods for continuous production runs. The same heavy-stock is used in commercial kitchens for roasting at high heat, where even cooking and boiling release are important, as in baking. Pre-cut sizing is used to expedite the prep process for catering operations that are creating large quantities of product prior to events. 

 

How to Choose the Right Parchment Sheets?

Check the actual size of a pan before ordering, don’t assume a standard size will fit, as even a small discrepancy will result in waste or gaps in coverage. When looking for the best oven parchment for a high-temperature oven, choose heavy-duty parchment because lighter varieties may burn or fail to provide a nonstick surface under prolonged temperatures of over 400°F.
