65 million more spoonfuls to eat
Finnish families typically make casseroles at least once every other week. Without cooking paper, a spoonful of food sticks to the baking dish and goes to waste. This adds up to 26 tablespoons of food a year lost in a single family and 65 million spoonfuls in all of Finland’s 2.5 million home kitchens. In other words, 1.3 million kilograms of good food is thrown away! By lining your dish with SAGA Cooking Paper, you prevent food from sticking to it and ensure the food ends up on the plate instead. Small measures make a big difference.
Pack and store food
You can also reduce food waste by storing your food properly. SAGA Cooking Paper can be used as an intermediate layer between foods, which makes it easier to freeze individual portions. Whether freezing meat patties or brownies, the non-stick surface of the cooking paper ensures the food and baked goods do not stick to it. This allows you to take out and defrost the amount you want and prevents food going to waste.
Cling film keeps food flavours and odours from mixing in the fridge. Food stays good for longer and ends up on the plate instead of in biowaste. The paper-based SAGA Deli Bag is also very useful, because it keeps crisp products crisp and juicy products juicy. Use the deli bags for sandwiches, cheese, dried herbs and mushrooms, for example.
Don’t let food go bad!
The hygienic handling of food is essential to keep it from going bad. SAGA papers are an excellent helpers in the kitchen when handling easily perishable foods such as meat, fish and chicken. Paper also comes in handy when using products that have a strong aroma or cause staining, such as garlic and beetroot.

This prevents colours, odours and bacteria from sticking to dishes, cutting boards and other food. It also extents the lifecycle of kitchen tools and makes it easier to keep them clean.
Easy and tidy cooking
Dishes lined with cooking paper are easy to wash, because there’s no need to scrub burnt and stuck food from them. Greaseproof paper prevents the grease from food from dripping onto the bottom of the baking dish or tray. Dishes lined with paper are easy to clean. A quick twirl of the brush and a fast rinse are enough to get them back in place or in new use, without having to soak dishes in the sink. This also reduces the consumption of detergent and water and prevents the surface of dishes from wearing and scratching.
