Wax paper and parchment paper are both used in baking and cooking, however, there is a key difference between the two. Wax paper has a thin coating of wax on each side, making it nonstick and moisture-resistant, while parchment paper is treated with silicone, making it heat-resistant and nonstick. Wax paper is a good choice for wrapping sandwiches and other food items, as it will prevent food from sticking to it. Parchment paper, on the other hand, is better suited for baking as it can handle high temperatures up to 450°F and is nonstick, making it easy to remove baked goods from the pan.
