National Parchment Day is celebrated widely in North America, especially in the United States. However, people worldwide who love to bake use parchment paper in their cooking methods.
North American bakers, home cooks, chefs, and food enthusiasts, all celebrate this day with great enthusiasm.
National Parchment Day was first celebrated in 2016 to recognize and appreciate the utility of parchment in the cooking process. On June 20, 2016, the Registrar of the National Day Calendar proclaimed the last Wednesday of June every year as National Parchment Day.
Back in 2016, PaperChef, a company that provides baking tools and accessories, including parchment paper, founded National Parchment Day to promote cooking methods using parchment paper.
The origin of National Parchment Day is fully credited to PaperChef, founded by Scott Miller and Bill Benson in 2010 to promote parchment paper for cooking. However, the history of parchment paper and its usage can be traced back to many centuries ago.
While the usage of parchment paper in cooking has been a long-going French tradition, it became an essential part of the North American food culture as its benefits rose in 2016. As a part of the French tradition, parchment is called 'en papillote'. It involves covering dishes with parchment paper.
To observe or celebrate Parchment Day on the last Wednesday of June, you can try recipes that require you to use parchment paper. If you have never used parchment paper before, recipes online can help guide you. Parchment can be used to line baking dishes, pans, bread baskets, and cookie sheets or for baking pizza dough, cakes, and cookies. If you and your friends or family know how to use parchment paper, then you can also have fun cooking competitions using the paper.
This year on June 29, we also celebrate National Camera Day, International Mud Day, and National Waffle Iron Day.
National Parchment Day celebrates facts like how parchment paper is 100% biodegradable.
The hashtag for National Parchment Day is not very famous on social media.
Families can celebrate National Parchment Day by cooking or baking dishes that involve parchment.
Observing National Parchment Day helps the masses recognize and appreciate the benefits of using parchment paper in the kitchen.
There are no such barriers to celebrating National Parchment Day. If you wish to cook something using parchment but don't know how you can always learn through recipes and instructions available on the internet.
This day marks the origins of parchment paper and its efficiency, making it a great day for culinary enthusiasts to celebrate.
