For example, if you want to bake bread or a sponge cake of the appropriate shape.

What material are permanent baking foils made of?

There are basically two different materials used for permanent baking sheet: silicone and fiberglass, also known as Teflon or PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). Both materials are known for their good non-stick properties and are of equal value. Unfortunately, what they also have in common is that if you do have to dispose of them one day, they are not very environmentally friendly to dispose of.

How can you clean permanent baking foil?

In addition to the long service life of the permanent baking foil, consumers are particularly impressed by the easy cleaning. Many of the films are easy to clean in the dishwasher. However, a damp cloth with a little washing-up liquid is often sufficient – after all, not much sticks to the permanent baking foils due to their non-stick coating.

Permanent baking film: How long can it be used?

The shelf life of permanent baking foil far exceeds that of conventional baking paper – however, it is difficult to state a time because it depends on the frequency of use, but of course also on the manufacturer and model. Many manufacturers indicate around 1000 uses. However, you should be careful not to damage the permanent baking foil with sharp objects. So you actually have something of your baking paper substitute for a long time.

How many degrees can the permanent baking film tolerate?

Since the permanent baking foil is intended to replace conventional baking paper, you can generally assume that it can also withstand the same temperatures. As a rule, permanent baking foils can be used up to 230 degrees, sometimes even more. For your safety, however, you should always pay close attention to the information on your product – since the temperature information can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Which side of the permanent baking foil goes on top?

Permanent baking foil is often to be used on both sides. Then there is no up or down. The only exception may be permanent baking foils with pre-drawn lines, which can serve as a guide when baking special pastries, for example. Some permanent baking foils have a roughened underside to ensure optimal grip on the work surface – these models can then only be used on one side.

For other uses and properties, you can also place the foils the other way around on the baking tray, grid or work surface.
