How Dry Wax Releases the Patty
A dry-wax coating sits on both faces of the paper, giving a smooth, low-grip surface. Raw ground meat presses against it without bonding, so a patty lifts away clean instead of tearing. The coating also holds in surface moisture, which keeps a frozen patty from drying out. Unlike a heavy wax-paper wrap, dry wax stays thin and breathable, made for separation rather than a moisture seal.
Dry Wax vs Parchment
Choose dry wax for everyday separating and freezing at a lower cost. Choose parchment patty paper when you also need to put the patty in the oven, since dry wax is not oven-safe. Both are freezer and microwave safe.
