    Would it be actual wax paper? These days it could just as likely be coated with plastic rather than wax, as the plastic coatings do the same thing and are cheaper.

    I’ve just spent a while searching and can’t find any reliable way to tell whether paper is wax coated, oil coated, plastic coated, or silicone coated.

        And reacts differently to abrasion, high heat, etc.

        The silicone-coated stuff is generally called parchment paper. I’ve never seen plastic or oil-coated paper sold as wax paper.

        Yeah, I always rip off a piece of the paper and give it a munch before buying the bread to make sure its made with actual wax instead of plastic
