Glad you cleared that up, I too was wondering why you needed grease proof paper to protect the pan from boiling water thinking wouldn’t the water get underneath the paper anyway and surely it won’t harm the pan but it was specifically mentioned so must serve a purpose but what purpose and it was all so confusing but now you’ve cleared it up we are all so much happier so thank you.

I know there's a winky, but just in case it isn't obvious for anyone else...
... you put the paper under the base of the saucepan to prevent any dirt or residue grease transfering to the material.
