Parchment paper is NOT wax paper...
I repeat....it is NOT wax paper...

You may or may-not be a cheapskate frugal like me and have stood in the aisle looking at the price difference between the parchment paper and the wax paper...
and then because you are a cheapskate frugal you opt for the wax paper...
if you by chance have opted for the low-class frugal version of parchment paper aka wax-paper you may or may-not add a wonderfully family-bonding moment to any and all baking creations...
this is the step we like to call
'did-you-get-all-the-paper-off-before-you-eat-it' step
or more commonly knows as
 'removing the non-parchment-paper paper from the bottom of your baked creation'!

If you do not have parchment paper because you are cheap frugal
AND you feel you may want to avoid the above mentioned family bonding moment
do not
I repeat do not opt for the wax paper...
just go ahead and skip the whole 'paper' step and just spray the bee-jeezus out of your pans...

so just to recap

Wax paper...not good for lining baking pans...
(however it is great for covering bowls of stuff you are heating up in the microwave!)
Let me know what else you use wax paper for...?

Parchment Paper...use this when it calls for it...not wax paper... or spray unhealthy amounts of chemical spray on your baking sheet/pan...but do not...do not use wax paper!


THE END!

does it REALLY do that

we all love ideas that take not so simple tasks & makes them simple

come on that's why we're all drawn to infomercials...
and the junk products they sell

not only something that simplifies something,
but also does it for little or no cost!

so I'm starting a new series of posts called

...does it REALLY do that....

I know, I know such an original title!

anyways...now with pintrest fever hitting the world lots of new cooking/cleaning/gardening tips have gone viral without many people actually trying them...just pinning them...

so I'm going to start testing them...

my first test...

the shredded chicken test.

have you seen this on pintrest...or even just heard rumor that it's true?

that you can shred your cooked chicken with your kitchen aid (or other stand mixer)?

this is the thing...
they (not sure who they are) say that you can put cooked chicken breast into your kitchen aid...
turn it on...
and then within minutes had shredded chicken...
not chopped chicken like you get with a food processor...
not the claw-hand you get after hand shredding with 2 forks and your hands...
but like honest-to-goodness shredded chicken...

I heard it...
thought, "that's crazy amazing...it can't work!"
I pinned it...
thought, "that'd be crazy amazing IF it worked!"
...
and then YES, I tested it...

 one cook chicken breast in my kitchen aid with regular blade/paddle thingy

 dumped in a package of taco seasoning and onion soup mix
(side note...best seasoning combo E.V.E.R!)

 after 30 seconds...sorta chunky looking

 and at 1 minute...seriously 1 minute!!!  shredded chicken

BLOG Edit...this was on medium speed

it is CRAZY AMAZING!  

By Golly...YES it does!

have you heard any crazy time saving cooking/cleaning/gardening tip 

or pinned any

and you've said to yourself

let me know I may test it out for you!
