Very Good, V.K.
My favorite use of waxed paper is rolling out pie crusts between two sheets. Always works :-)
(It’s also good for a variety of craft projects; do you remember when we could buy waxed paper bags? They were about 5 inches square, and we went to school with our sandwiches in them; and used them for ‘Nature Crafts’.)

Yes, do remember —carried lunch to school most days -only exception was when they served something really special (to me, anyway) that was well liked. LOL the Salisbury steak was always good...with the whipped taters. And the hot rolls remembered with fondness. Dessert favorites was the lemon chess pie and the bread pudding (made from old cakes, it was believed) it had sauce on top which made it a favorite.
Wax paper is used here to freeze individual portions. Line a baking sheet with the paper, put the hamburger patties, or whatever on the paper and freeze. Easy to remove to place in zip tight freezer bags for whenever needed.
WP has been used on our cast iron for years, and the surface is as smooth as a baby’s bottom. Once cleaned with Kosher salt (Alton’s method) it is back into the oven to heat up once again and when warm, a wad of waxed paper is rubbed inside and out of the pan. Cast iron is sold with a wax finish inside and this seems to be the easiest method to restore it to desired conditions.
