Question:

Can I use Aluminum foil instead of parchment paper when drying fruit in the oven?

I would like to dry peaches in the oven but all I have is wax paper and aluminum foil , suggestions?

Answer:

I once tried lining a baking sheet with waxed paper while making cookies, because I was out of parchment paperThe waxed paper melted, and I ended up with a terrific mess in the oven with the smoke alarm blaringDon't use the waxed paperPeaches are too expensive to waste so needlessly, and waste them you willHowever, you can't use foil either, because the peaches will stickYour only real option is to run out and purchase parchment paper You could try lining your baking sheet with brown paperI've had success with using brown paper to dry meringuesI'm not going to guarantee this will work, though.
