Do you think I could substitute parchment paper for butcher paper on a low and slow?

    Try it out and let us know.  :)

    I don’t see why it wouldn’t be okay to try.

    I use it all the time for Brisket.  Parchment works great.

    I think it would work okay but isn’t it more expensive?

    It may be, but I have it in the pantry already.

    I bake with parchment at 400 degrees for 1 hour and 45 minutes daily. You could reuse the sheets if you had to. It’ll hold up.

    I use parchment paper all the time. True butchers paper is really hard to find where I am and parchment paper from CostCo is a quarter the price even if I do find it.

    thanks for the plug.  we should have 24" x 150' rolls in a week or so. Georgia Pacific USA paper - pink, FDA and 40 lb. Folks found the 250 and 500 foot rolls too long. We don't recommend 18 wide, 24 much better.

    Georgia Pacific makes the best butcher in the US. Some get butcher paper from Canada which can be, at times, problematic. Sorry my Canadian friends! If the paper doesn't say Georgia Pacific product, I'd roll to the next supplier......just easier that way.
