Aluminium Foil and Compostable Parchment Paper Rolls Set

Most kitchen drawers hold a roll of foil and a roll of baking paper, and they are usually bought separately and run out at different times. This set gives you two rolls of each, so the basics are covered for a good while.

What is in the set:

• 2 rolls of Compostable Parchment Paper, 30cm x 20m each
• 2 rolls of Extra Thick Aluminium Foil, 30cm x 10m each

The parchment paper It is a non-stick, greaseproof liner for baking, roasting and food storage. It is oven-safe, microwave-safe, and safe in the fridge and freezer. The paper is made from FSC-certified unbleached cellulose pulp with a food-grade coating. The source states no chlorine processing, no synthetic dyes and nothing unnecessary in contact with food. The compostable certification to DIN EN 13432 is a European standard for packaging compostability, which is the point that separates this from baking paper that is simply labelled as eco. It comes on a 30cm x 20m roll in recyclable cardboard.

The aluminium foil This is an extra-thick foil built to resist tearing. It works for roasting, baking, grilling, barbecuing and food storage. The non-stick surface reduces food sticking, which means less waste and quicker clean-up. The cardboard box has a built-in cutting blade for clean, straight tears. The brand states the foil has been SGS and FDA tested for food safety and is vegan and vegetarian approved. The box is recyclable cardboard.

Here is what works

• Use the parchment for baking trays, cake tins and anything greasy that you want to lift out cleanly.
• Use the foil for covering roasts, wrapping food for the barbecue and sealing leftovers.
• Both come in cardboard boxes, so there is no plastic wrapper to deal with.

One thing to know: the compostable claim applies to the parchment paper. The foil is aluminium, and the source describes only its packaging as recyclable.
