Wax paper is coated with a thin layer of wax, making it non-stick and ideal for tasks like rolling out dough, wrapping sticky candies, or separating layers of baked goods.

The wax coating also provides a barrier against moisture, helping to keep food fresh and preventing it from drying out.

Wax paper can handle some level of grease, making it suitable for wrapping sandwiches or lining plates for serving oily foods.

Wax paper comes in rolls or pre-cut sheets for convenient use.
