Why can't you use parchment paper in a toaster oven?

[Timmy24]

Hey pals! Got a question that's been bugging me a bit. You know how we're always told not to use parchment paper in toaster ovens? I'm puzzled. What's the big deal? I mean, parchment is a kitchen hero for baking, right? But pop it in a toaster oven, and suddenly it's a no-no. Does it have to do with fire risks or something else entirely? Would love to get your take on this! Thanks in advance, pals!

Using parchment paper in toaster ovens can be risky due to its potential to catch fire. The smaller size and intense heat of toaster ovens make parchment more prone to burning. It's safer to stick to toaster oven-safe materials like silicone baking mats or aluminum foil. Hope that helps!

Well, well, well! When it comes to toaster ovens, safety first, my friend. Parchment paper + toaster oven = potential fire hazard. Stick to oven-safe materials like aluminum foil or silicone baking mats and keep the kitchen drama-free. Happy cooking!

You should avoid using parchment paper in a toaster oven because it can easily catch fire due to its proximity to the heating elements. It's safer to use silicone baking mats or aluminum foil instead.
