Quick Baking Question Please.
Good morning all. Just a quick query to all of you clever bakers out there. I know this sounds silly but I need to know before I start.
I have always bought ordinary greaseproof paper to line my cake tins. I usually just grease all the bottom and sides of the tins before placing the greaseproof paper in the bottom and sides of the tins.
This time, for the first time, I have bought a roll of Bacofoil non-stick on both sides paper. But..... it doesn't say whether one should still grease the cake tins. Like any normal person I would have assumed absolutely no reason to grease the bottom and sides but what put me off was......
On the packet it says because it is non-stick on both sides it eliminates any excess grease from getting through. Grease? what grease? Do they mean that I should still grease the bottom and sides of my cake tin even though I am lining them with more expensive both sides non-stick paper which I thought eliminated any need for greasing the tins.
I have tried to find out from every avenue I can online, including the Bacofoil website, but there is no mention of whether this is necessary or not.
Isn't it ridiculous! I should have stuck with my normal greaseproof paper. I know what I am doing there, but I don't want to be greasing the tins which would make the work of the paper harder when there is absolutely no need to.
Any idea anyone? Thank you from this bewildered pensioner plank!
