If you enjoy baking, consider purchasing a quality silicone mat. They come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, but each one is sure to be a helpful addition to your baking projects. The mats can last for one to two years depending on usage, and they create a more even baking surface for all your creations. Even better, their surface is nonstick, so you won’t need cooking sprays or grease. And the even heat distribution helps prevent burns on the bottom of your cookies or baked goods. They are easily cleaned with soap and water and can also be used to bake meats such as fish or poultry. Just don’t go over 450 degrees.
Neutral design
This silicone baking mat is oven-safe and designed to handle temperatures upwards of 480 degrees Fahrenheit. The mat can easily fit into half-sheet sized pans, measuring approximately 11.6 inches by 16.5 inches. The non-stick construction lets you place it directly on top of the cookie sheet or countertop, and cleanup is as easy as washing it with soap and water and allowing it to air-dry. Flexible and can be rolled up for storage. Comes in a pack of 2 for twice the baking.
Consistent results
The silicone baking mat option by Kitzini is designed to deliver even heat distribution, ensuring consistent results across the whole cook surface. The mat can handle extreme temperature differentials, from freezing to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can go straight from the freezer to the oven. Avoid the extra calories of sprays, oils, or butter – your baked goods will slide right off the surface of the baking sheet thanks to this mat’s non-stick surface. Cleanup is easy, allowing you to reuse it again and again for a very long time. They come in four half sheets and a variety of accent colors.
Great grip
For the ardent pastry chef. Made of food-grade silicone, this non-slip baking mat is designed to handle virtually any kind of food, including dough, pie, bread, cookies, and more. The large size design measures approximately 28 inches by 20 inches, and the non-slip surface provides enough friction to grip the countertop and prevent food from sliding off at the worst times. After you’re done cooking, you can simply rinse the mat in warm soapy water to clean it up.
No wrinkling or fading
This pastry mat from GREENRAIN is made out of premium silicone and glass fiber, allowing it to be safe, soft, and long-lasting, without wrinkling or fading. The mat is 0.6MM thick, almost double the thickness of standard mats, which gives it a longer lifespan than other similar products. The anti-slip bottom means that it won’t slide around the countertop in the midst of your food prep, and the non-stick surface will prevent sticky foods like dough or grease from getting stuck to your granite or corian. Also comes with a convenient measuring chart for ingredients and ruler guides to mark the dimensions of your dough printed right on the mat’s surface for reference.
Preset guides
HOTPOP’s multi-purpose silicone baking mats can handle temperatures from -40 degrees Fahrenheit to 480 degrees Fahrenheit, and they are also capable of withstanding use in ovens, freezers, dishwashers, and microwave ovens. The pad is approximately 0.75mm thick, and the nonstick surface helps you handle even the stickiest foodstuffs, such as pizza dough, and bread. Comes with two half-sheet and two quarter-sheet liners for all your different needs. Preset circular guides show you exactly how far apart to space your cookie creations for optimum baking and uniform results. In three bright colors to make your kitchen pop.
