How can we replace aluminum foil, stretch paper, baking paper and absorbent paper in our kitchen?

We can start by the evil: the ALUMINUM FOIL!!! I think there is nothing worse to cook, especially with fish, lemon and tomato in the oven. Indeed, aluminum is toxic if it's mixed with acid products, spices or if it's heated! You can substitute by putting ingredients in dishes or use baking paper, it's waste but it is better for your health.

If you use aluminum foil and stretch paper to store your meals in the fridge or to take your picnic to work, there is a simple solution, use a box, in glass of course!



For the baking paper, you can replace it with reusable baking paper, sold in a roll you have to cut it to the size of your oven plate (photo on the right) or already cut out, you have to buy the right size (photo on the left). There are several materials, silicone or Teflon, they are perfect for your cakes, cookies, pizzas... and they are easy to wash!



Now, the last but not least, the most difficult to eradicate in our home, the ABSORBENT PAPER. It's practical but at the end of the day it's a lot of waste and in the supermarket it's sold surrounded by plastic.

I made reusable absorbent paper with the same principle as the reusable cotton squares to remove makeup with one side in organic cotton or bamboo and the other side with pretty fabrics. (photos above)


And if you use absorbent paper to eat, I made table napkins like our grandparents used to have ^^ Just a piece of fabric, thread and voila! Simple and nicer to wipe with it!




You see, if you are looking and have imagination, you can remove all those disposable papers and think more reusable without changing a lot of things in your daily life :)
