SilpatPremium Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat, Half Sheet Size, 11-5/8 x 16-1/2, Orange

I've been using the Silpat Premium Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat for a while now, and I can confidently say it lives up to its reputation. The quality is outstanding — it feels durable, lays perfectly flat, and has held up beautifully after multiple uses.While it's definitely on the pricier side compared to generic silicone mats, I believe it's worth the investment. Unlike other mats I've tried, I've never had issues with staining, odors, or oil leaking underneath. It consistently delivers even baking results and makes cleanup incredibly easy.If you're looking for a reliable, long-lasting baking mat that truly performs, the Silpat is a solid choice.

This is my second one so I can work two cookie sheets. They work perfectly. No burning. Love them.

I do not use this mat for cookie baking, however, I know many people do and love them. I use it primarily for pie shells, bread dough, etc when rolling out. I love this product, have given them away to people I know. They are easy to use, easy to wash, easy to store. The smallest one is a bit small for my needs so I have a larger mat and I would recommend that one if you roll out very many things like pie dough's. To preserve it, do not cut on it and I am sure it will last a long time.

Forget about aluminum foil, waxed paper, parchment, etc. for lining your pans. Buy one of these, and you'll only be messing with those things when you want to cover up your food or cook something "en papillote". As nonstick as it gets, doesn't seem to retain flavors, and unlike the cheap(er) imitation brand ones I've gotten from a local restaurant supply store, mine has not peeled a bit in over 2 years of hard use, including harsh broiling right under the element.I use these just about every time I bake, and they both make cleanup a breeze, and have saved all kids of dishes that I would have utterly ruined by trying to lift out of a sheet pan with utensils. You can just lift the mat, slide off the delicate/messy food onto a platter, et voila! - dinner she is saved.As a testament to how badass these things are: I once gave my dog a ham pan to lick out. He ended up tearing up a quarter of my Silpat thinking it was bacon! After making sure he didn't need to go to the vet (he was just tearing it up and spitting it out, the clever, destructive little bugger), I took my kitchen shears and cut the torn corner off, leaving a clean cut but some definite sharp edges that I was worried would fray. One year later... looks the same as it did when I cut it. That's a truly sturdy mat, right there.My friends also love using the extra-large ones for rolling out pastry and bread dough - non-stick, minimal mess, easy cleanup.

These Silpat baking mats work great. If you’re used to using parchment paper, these have all the same benefits without creating more trash. If you do a lot of baking, they will almost pay for themselves (parchment paper isn’t cheap!).The Silpat mats are virtually non-stick, as long as you don’t gunk them up with aerosol non-stick sprays like Pam. For things like candy that do stick, you can get them loose by folding the silpat away from them. For making cookies, the silpat helps temper the heat of the pan, so my cookie bottoms never come out overly browned or burnt.The mats are easy to clean, as most food just wipes off. They’re silicone, which can survive temperatures from -67 degrees Fahrenheit to +572 degrees Fahrenheit, so these mats and can go from the freezer to the oven without a problem. I've used them from everything from cookies to candy making, and they’ve held up well.Don't be fooled by the cheaper substitutes -- I purchased some other brands of silicone baking mats on Amazon and they were thin, flimsy, hard to clean, hard to slide out of a pan, and not sealed at the edges. The real deal Silpat baking mats will last for years, and are a great tool for serious home bakers.

I made sticky granola today and the mat performed like a champ. No sticking at all on my baking tray. i will probably buy more sizes.

Works well. Dishwasher safe and reusable. Easy cleanup. It protects your baking pan. It makes it easy to remove food. It makes baking a lot easier. I would buy this again and give as a gift for bakers and people who hate baking. Both groups would find this tool useful.

I've wanted these mats for a long time, but didn't purchase because they didn't fit my pans and it was not recommended to cut them to size. Well, I finally decided to upgrade my pans to the USA brand half sheet ones from my old cheapos. Those pans are awesome, by the way. These silicone mats fit the new pans perfectly. Cleanup is easy - put them in the dishwater and give them a quick wipe, rinse, and dry. I store the mats in the pans so they're always ready to go.
