Parchment paper is an indispensable utensil of the everyday gourmet. From preparation to presentation – and everything in between – culinary parchment adds an element of simple sophistication to any meal. New to Azure are PaperChef products including Mini Baking Cups. Everyday food can be elevated to new levels by using parchment paper in both the cooking process and the presentation of foods. PaperChef believes in bringing people together through the power of food. Because cooking and enjoying food is an experience that brings friends, families, and entire communities together in appreciation for the vitality of life. PaperChef's mission is to add to the experience by putting food preparation at the center of creative expression and by bringing folks from far and near around the kitchen table. Culinary parchment is ideal for fish, chicken, roasts, casseroles, cookies, baked goods, nachos and even eggs in a pan. It is a natural, healthy way of cooking, perfect for use on baking sheets and pans making cleanup easier. As an alternative to greasy sprays or oily spreads, the use of parchment paper is a simple, clean way of cooking that has been around for centuries. There’s nothing better than taking that first bite of a warm, fresh-from-the-oven muffin – but there’s nothing worse than when that perfect muffin is all too reluctant to release itself from the grips of the paper cup it’s wrapped in. To virtually eliminate the undesired broken muffin from your kitchen, add Culinary Parchment Baking Cups to your list of necessary ingredients. With the inherent non-stick properties of parchment, gently peeling back the natural golden paper will reveal perfectly delicious – and intact – muffins and cupcakes every time. And experimenting with the mini, large and extra-large sizes will add diversity to your baking. For the adventurous chef in you, think outside of the cup – because this baking essential is not just simply for baked goods. Try combining olive oil, chopped vegetables, herbs and an egg together in a parchment cup and bake in a cooking ring for about 10 minutes. Simply peeling away the paper will uncover a beautifully molded baked egg. Place a small strip of crispy bacon on top of the egg as part of the presentation for a special touch. Baking Cups can also make seemingly complicated dishes less intimidating for the everyday chef. Gazpacho jelly, a Spanish-style cold soup set in cubes or other molded shapes, may see like a dish reserved for the masters. But using parchment cups to set the ingredients will help maintain a perfect shape without sticking when it comes time to serve. Since all Culinary Parchment products are 100% biodegradable, using Baking Cups in the presentation of all types of food, from individual hors d’oeuvres to single serving desserts, will create all environmentally conscious foundation for any meal.
