Finding 50gsm butter paper (often referred to as parchment or greaseproof paper) usually means you are looking for a slightly more durable, professional grade compared to the standard 40gsm found in most grocery stores.
At 50gsm, the paper provides a better barrier against moisture and fats, making it ideal for heavy-duty baking, lining cake tins, or wrapping greasy foods like burgers and deli meats.
Key Features of 50gsm Butter Paper
- Heat Resistance: Generally safe for oven use up to 220°C (428°F).
- Grease Resistance: High density prevents oil from seeping through, keeping trays clean.
- Non-Stick Coating: Usually silicone-coated on both sides for easy release.
- Durability: The extra weight (50g per square meter) means it’s less likely to tear when cutting or handling wet batters.
