Silpat vs. Parchment Paper
Customers often ask us, “Why use Silpat® instead of parchment paper?”
These top benefits earned Silpat® its superior reputation:
Silpat® |
Parchment Paper |
|
Silpat® is reusable, long lasting, and durable. |
Parchment paper is single-use only, flimsy and unreliable. |
|
Silpat® is more economical and budget-friendly. |
Parchment paper is a wallet-buster, replenishing rolls costs money and time. |
|
Silpat® is environmentally safe (no waste, no trash). |
Unfriendly to the environment, single-use parchment is tossed in the trash after each use. |
|
With Silpat® there is no need for butter/fat/grease/etc. |
Parchment and pans can require extra grease (and extra calories!). |
|
Silpat® saves time: measuring and cutting new sheets each time NOT required. |
Extra steps: parchment requires measuring and cutting flimsy sheets that often tear, rendering them unusable. |
|
Silpat® is easy to clean, clean with a few swipes. |
Parchment can’t be cleaned or reused. And pans require scraping. |
|
Silpat® lengthens and protects the lifetime of your kitchen equipment. |
Parchment and pans get dirty/destroyed from constant use. |
|
Silpat® is effortless to use (finished products slide right off). |
Parchment can burn and require scraping. |
|
Silpat® ensures a better bake. A consistent bake throughout your product every time ensures crisp, perfectly finished products. |
With parchment and pans, bake times and thoroughness can fluctuate, resulting in a second-rate product. |
|
Silpat® is made of high quality food-safe silicone and fiberglass construction, NSF & FDA certified. |
Parchment and pan construction varies and is not always certified. |
|
Silpat® lays flat and sturdy for your products. |
Parchment comes off a roll and never lays flat. |
