FAQs
Q: What is the material of Ozuki cooking paper? A: Our cooking paper is made from 100% wood pulp.
Q: What are the main features of Ozuki cooking paper? A: Ozuki cooking paper is non-stick, food-contact safe, breathable and possesses strong filtration and absorbency capabilities. It helps to enhance food freshness by absorbing excess fluid during defrosting and preparation of raw food. It can help to reduce your daily fat and calories intake when absorbing oil from fried food or soup surface. Additionally, it can function as an oil filter for your used oil to remove small particles and to keep the oil clean for future usage.
Q: What other additional applications does Ozuki cooking paper have to offer? A: Ozuki cooking paper helps to prolong food freshness and retain food moisture. For example, you may wrap the cooking paper around your vegetables before placing it in the fridge, or as a freshness seal over your food during microwave reheating to retain moisture and prevent the food from drying up too quickly. You may also tie it up and use it as a bouquet garni in preparation for casseroles, stocks, sauces or soups. Alternatively, it can be used throughout your cooking process to clean cooking accessories and tools such as chopping boards and knives.
Q: Can I use it for grilling and deep-frying? A: We do not recommend Ozuki cooking paper to be used for grilling over open flames or deep frying because it involves high heat at an average of 160°C and above and could be a potential fire hazard.
Q: Is Ozuki cooking paper only used for cooking, or can it be used for baking as well? A: Yes, you may use it in your cooking process for non-stick purposes or as a lid-drop, but not advisable to have direct contact with flames. Ozuki cooking paper can be used for oven grilling and baking as well, such as during proofing or fermentation.

Another differentiating point is the cooking paper’s ability to filter particles from sauces and soup that the kitchen towel is unable to.
Q: Why do we have to pay a premium price for it?
