In a professional setting, consistency is everything. The Matfer Bourgeat Exopap isn't just a consumable; it's an insurance policy against sticking, tearing, and wasted product.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Patisserie in Oakham was struggling with inconsistent baking results due to their cheap parchment paper tearing and sticking to delicate choux buns. This led to product wastage and frustrating clean-up sessions after busy weekend services.
"We were at our wit's end. A batch of ruined éclairs is a direct hit to our bottom line. Since switching to the Matfer Bourgeat Exopap sheets, our bakes have been flawless. They just peel away perfectly, every single time. The quality is simply on another level."
Robert Davies – Owner & Head Pâtissier
The switch has cut their parchment paper consumption by over 70% and completely eliminated sticking-related product loss, improving both profitability and staff morale.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Store the box flat in a cool, dry place to keep the sheets perfectly flat and ready for use.
- Simply pull one sheet out and place it directly onto your baking tray or surface.
- There's no need to apply any extra oil or grease for non-stick purposes.
- The 530 x 320mm size is designed to fit most standard UK and European baking trays.
Keeping It Going
- To maximise reusability, simply wipe the sheet with a damp cloth after light use.
- Avoid using sharp utensils like knives or pizza wheels directly on the surface to prevent damage.
- Alternate between sides with each use to get the most life out of every single sheet.
- Dispose of the sheet when it becomes dark, brittle, or starts to lose its non-stick properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use these sheets in the freezer as well as the oven?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are rated for temperatures down to -40°C, which makes them perfect for interleaving portions of food to prevent them sticking together when frozen.
Q: Do I need to grease the paper before use?
A: No, the double-sided silicone coating provides a superb non-stick surface. You can bake without any extra fats or oils, which is healthier and saves on ingredient costs.
Q: How many times can I realistically reuse one sheet?
A: This depends on cooking temperature and what you're baking, but most professional kitchens find they can use each side 4 to 5 times for typical baking applications before it needs replacing.
Q: Can I cut the Exopap baking paper sheets to fit smaller tins?
A: Of course. They are easily trimmed with scissors or a craft knife to fit any size or shape of bakeware you need.
Q: Is this commercial baking parchment better than standard greaseproof paper?
A: Yes, significantly. Greaseproof paper only resists grease, whereas this parchment is silicone-coated to provide a true non-stick, reusable surface that greaseproof paper can't match.
Q: What does the '41 g/m²' specification mean?
A: It stands for 'grams per square metre' and refers to the paper's weight and thickness. A higher number like this indicates a stronger, more durable paper that won't tear easily.
Q: Will the paper impart any flavour onto my food?
A: No, not at all. Matfer Bourgeat Exopap is completely food-safe and inert, meaning it won't transfer any tastes or odours to your delicious creations.
Q: Are the sheets recyclable?
A: Due to the silicone coating, they are generally not accepted in household paper recycling. Their environmental benefit comes from their reusability, which significantly reduces the total number of sheets used.
The Matfer Bourgeat Promise: Consistency in Every Bake
Choosing Matfer Bourgeat baking paper is about more than just its technical stats; it's an investment in operational excellence. As a brand revered in professional kitchens worldwide for over 200 years, Matfer Bourgeat stands for uncompromising quality. Using these sheets means fewer costly mishaps—no more batches of expensive pastries ruined by sticking or entire trays of roasted goods fused to the pan. This reliability translates directly into saved time, reduced food waste, and lower labour costs spent on scrubbing trays. Over the lifetime of a single box, the initial outlay is returned many times over through sheer efficiency and the consistent, professional results that protect your business's reputation with every dish that leaves the kitchen.
Explore more from Matfer BourgeatMore Than Just Paper: The Science of Exopap's Reusability
Ever wondered why some baking papers can be reused and others can't? It comes down to how the non-stick layer is applied. Many cheaper papers have a very thin, sprayed-on silicone coating. The Exopap, however, has a high-grade silicone layer that is deeply impregnated into the dense 41 g/m² paper fibres on both sides. Think of it like the difference between painting a garden shed and pressure-treating the wood. One is a surface layer that wears off quickly with heat and moisture; the other has protection running right through its core. That's why you can confidently wipe it down, flip it over, and use it again and again for consistent, reliable, non-stick performance.
