When you buy a roll of greaseproof paper, are both sides greaseproof ?

One side appears shinier than the other so if only one side is greaseproof, which is it ?

From my vast experience of cooking - shiny side definitely.


Oh, who am I kidding - haven't got a clue!

On the rare occasion that I do bake, I use shiny side to the food. Makes excellent tracing paper.

same with tin foil which way round is that meant to go ? ....

Re: Todays Daft Question - Greaseproof Paper
 

I always use that shiny side on the outside :)

Thanks for all ther replies, I guess it's unanimous that the more greaseproof side is the shiny side.

And just to confuse you all I don't use it for cooking or tracing :D

well, i dont know if this is true or not, but i always put the shiny side of the tin foil to the inside if i am covering food with it in the oven, i reckon it keeps the heat in....but thats just my way of thinking

Shiney side to the tin...stops it sticking...you are expected to fight the paper when you seperate it from the Quatermass Experience.

Why not fold it so you have a shiney side on the cake and the tin.
Retlaw.
