Wax paper has a wax coating that can melt, smoke, or affect food when exposed to oven heat.
It is useful for wrapping, separating layers, rolling dough, or lining counters during prep, but not for baking in the oven.
For baking sheets, cookies, roasting, and oven use, choose parchment paper within its temperature limit.
Wax paper belongs in prep work, not the oven. Use parchment paper when heat is involved.
