Parchment papers can be either coated with silicone or with quilon. While silicone is a non-organic natural product found in sand, quartz and rock, Quilon is a chemical that contains the heavy metal chromium. When Quilon is incinerated, it becomes a potential toxic hazard that can cause multiple health issues.

It helps ensure baking sheets stay clean, prevents baked goods from over-browning and sticking to the pan, keeps poaching liquids from evaporating, and can be used as a sling around bread dough or cheesecake to help release them from the pan. You can even use it to line the basket of your air fryer.

Quilon is a type chemical made up largely of isopropanol. Quilon can be coated on several different types of paper and film substrates. Quilon reacts with polar groups on paper, nonwovens, woven fabrics, leather and other negatively charged surfaces.

A Shape2BAKE pan liner is a Teflon coated fabric that can be re-used thousands of times, saving you money and eliminating waste. It is a direct replacement for parchment paper.
