Q. Is wax paper the same as butter paper?

Answer

When keeping freshly baked items, butter paper also known as wax paper. is a useful material to have on hand. Wax has been applied to the surface of the paper, creating a barrier that reduces the amount of moisture that may enter or leave the paper. It is not safe to put wax paper in the oven since doing so might cause the wax to melt, which would both contaminate the food and the oven. Because of the texture of the paper and the function it serves, the terms "butter paper" and "wax paper" may be used interchangeably. It is protected by a coating of wax that has a particular consistency and was designed to ward against the accumulation of moisture. Wax paper has several uses, one of which is as a container for baked goods and other items that are susceptible to spoilage when exposed to moisture. Wax paper may also be used to roll out dough.
