Could you please tell me what makes the parchment nonstick? Is it coated with a thin layer of silicone, or vegetable oil?

There is no silicone or vegetable oil used in parchment paper. The paper is processed in a way that binds the material tightly together and creates a nonstick surface.

Here is a discussion about toxins in some parchment paper. Don't know about these bags. "When did parchment paper lose its innocence?": http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/807146

Hi Sarah, I checked on the box and did not find anything about your question. But they work great !

The previous answerer, Brian G., is mistaken. Most parchment paper is manufactured coated with a very thin layer of silicone as a release agent, but none are coated with vegetable oil, as far as I know. It would smoke in the oven at higher temps and adversely affect the taste of whatever you've encased in the parchment bag, or put on the parchment sheet (like cookies). These bags are just ordinary parchment paper but already folded into the bag shapes, ready to be filled. Handy little buggers, I have to say.

Just a warning. I tried to use one of these bags when I ran out of parchment and made a zucchini pizza crust. It stuck like the dickens. I cut the bag open and placed it on the cookie sheet but when I tried to remove the crust it would not come free like normal parchment. Just FYI

Every silicone mat I've ever seen says not to use it above 425. The silicone starts to break down above that temperature. Parchment paper (at least the brands I've seen) isn't food safe above that temperature either.

Hi Donna, yes it does have a nonstick coating on it. I reallly did not want nonstick but it is working out great. I would recommend it now that I have used it------alot. Sherry

That teflon kind of stuff. The usual. I cover it with baking paper when I use it. But I like Phylis O's answer better. See below. She seems to know more.

Asked my daughter, who I bought it for...she doesn't know. It is "nonstick" so I would guess aluminum non-stick coated. She said it cleans up great. Wish I could be more helpful.

Most probably it is Teflon-the same stuff they use for any non-stick pans. If you don't like coating, you might like to look for carbon steel pans by De Buyer on Amazon..

I hope this helps, but I'm assuming it's teflon because there is a non-stick coating.

No sure about the coating but it is very similar to my nonstick pans and my Belgian waffle maker. I love it I actually ought five of these. Many as gifts. I originally bought the stove top one from William and Sonoma but never used it since it seemed so high maintenance .

No, it's simply a very high quality parchment paper which is made by being bathed in sulfuric acid which partially gelatinizes the paper's surface. There is no residue of any sort, it simply feels very smooth. This is the best quality parchment paper on the market, you won't be disappointed.

http://www.zojirushi.com/index.html website only mentions nonstick, not sure if it teflon.

It is nonestick. So far it is easy to clean, and cooks great. I am not sure what material is made of. U have to contact the seller for correct information.

Have not as yet used the griddle so don't know. It is coated but don't know if it is non stick but a little butter makes everything better!!

I have one silicon sheet which works very well, but I also use non-waxed parchment paper and this works just as well as the silicon.

The packaging does not specify. It definitely has a coating, but I'm not sure what it is. It just says non-stick surface. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

I checked the manual and online and the only description of the coating was "non Stick" Teflon was never mentioned. Usually Teflon in mentioned by name if it's used.

As far as I know, you would have to verify that with the manufacturer. I always use parchment paper when baking. But I have baked veges on it with only oil and no complaints.
