Answer 1

theres a special coating on it so it doesn't burn (its what makes it feel kind of waxy)

Parchment paper can be used in a conventional oven at temperatures up to 420°F. Always preheat the oven first. For safety, never touch parchment paper to open flame or use with broiling unit or toaster ovens.
