Brilio.net - Baking paper is a familiar tool for those who often work in the kitchen, especially in making cakes . This thin silicone-coated kitchen paper has non-stick, moisture-resistant, and heat-resistant characteristics, making it ideal for use as a base in the baking process.
The non-stick properties of baking paper eliminate the need for additional coatings such as oil or margarine. This ensures that the cake will not stick and break when removed. However, many people immediately throw away baking paper after one use because they consider it unusable.
Unlike parchment paper which has a similar function, baking paper actually has better durability so that it allows for repeated use. However, reusing baking paper requires a certain process to ensure its safety and cleanliness.
A cake entrepreneur through the TikTok account/@angelladumais has shared a special method for cleaning baking paper from leftover cake dough so that it can be reused. The short video she uploaded demonstrates the correct cleaning technique, considering that this process requires special handling and cannot be done carelessly.

"This is available if you want to save paper or save baking paper," wrote TikTok/@angelladumais.
Quoted from BrilioFood from TikTok/@angelladumais on Friday (6/12), this trick is basically quite simple. Pull the baking paper off the cooked cake slowly so that it does not tear. After that, scrape off a thin layer of the remaining cake that is still stuck to the baking paper. It is better to use a thin and wide tool so that it is easier and faster.

Scrape off the remaining cake that sticks to the baking paper until it is completely clean. If so, you can reuse the baking paper to bake a cake. No need to worry about the next dough being damaged, because the baking paper is clean and safe to use.
"Once it's clean, it can be used again. So it can be used several times, as long as it doesn't tear," he explained further.
