I have to admit that lately I’ve been wondering what wax paper is for… I used it for the first time yesterday when making fudge.

I use wax paper every day to wrap my husband’s sandwiches up in. I never use cling wrap or sandwich bags for that. It’s the same thing my mother did when I was growing up.
Put the sandwich on the sheet of waxed paper, bring up the sides to meet evenly and then start folding over until you can fold no more. Then take each end and fold each side diagonally inward and then tuck the flaps under the sandwich. You can make them really tight to hold a sandwich or dessert. This is the same way a sandwich comes wrapped when you get one from the deli or a hamburger from a fast food place.

I roll out cookie dough between two pieces…the chill it before cutting it with cookie cutters.

My grandma used to make weeding cakes, and she always had wax paper AND “cake strips” Her cakes came out flat and perfect every time.

I use wax paper to line tins that I fill with cookies and take to work. Long live wax paper!!

nancy – your comment took me back to sitting in my grandmas kitchen while she sifts flour on wax paper then pours it in her brownie batter. a nice memory.

I do the strips for decorating cakes – awesome!
I use it when I am mending books. You can mend a tear with a little white glue and a brush and have some waxed paper on either side, close the book and then put a weight on top until it dries. The waxed paper comes right off. I often just use it on the counter when I grate cheese or zest too. It lifts and folds easily to dump into another bowl. Three cheers for waxed paper.
