Product Information

It should be noted that this mat measures 25- x 18-inches, making it exactly the right fit for a full sheet pan. You can also use these as the work base for mats for any messy kitchen activities, like drizzling glazes or dipping strawberries. Personally, I love how easy it is to remove food from the molds or cake pans – I can twist it to either side and food will easily pop out. Easily cover your countertops with wax paper for easy cleanup from messes and spills from dough, batter, or mixing. This tutorial for a watercolor cake roll from Liv for Cake shows just how easy it can be to make a Swiss roll.

Borosilicate glass is the only thing that comes close since those dishes can go from the freezer straight to a hot oven. Although those initial silicone mats may be more expensive than a box of parchment paper, you’ll be saving money in the long run as well as valuable resources – parchment paper is made from trees after all! Once your fruit mixture has cooled, you can cut a piece of wax paper or parchment paper to place the mixture on so that you can then cut it into rolls. Slicing and puncturing will affect the integrity of your silicone baking mat, altering its effectiveness and making it more likely to rip and tear with future use.These mats are made from a combination of food-grade silicone and fiberglass, allowing them to withstand temperatures of up to about 500 degrees Fahrenheit. This particular nonstick silicone baking mat is made from fiberglass mesh and food-grade silicone, which helps it withstand temperatures of up to 480 degrees Fahrenheit and distribute heat evenly (which means your food will not only release easily but also bake evenly).

They provide a nonstick surface for rolling out dough, help keep those counters clean, and free you from scrubbing cookie sheets and pans. But unlike many competitors, Silpat does not recommend washing their mats in the dishwasher, and the same rigidity that makes them adhere to surfaces so well, also makes them more difficult to clean in the sink.Place the baking sheet or pan in the oven on the center rack (this will allow the air to circulate evenly around your items leading to even baking) and follow the baking instructions as usual. This YouTube Video shows how to do it with parchment paper but it could be just as easily done with a silicone mat. Simply spray your pans and sheets with a good dose of cooking spray and sticking shouldn’t be an issue.
