Silicone Baking Mats: Top 5 Reasons To Use One

By Anna Mckayla

Do you enjoy baking cakes, pastries, and breads, but experience problems when it comes to removing your baked goods from the pan? Whether you spend your whole day in the kitchen, or only bake once in a while, this challenge has plagued every baker at one time or another. The trouble with some baking tools used to keep baked goods from sticking (e.g. wax paper, baking pan spraying oil, baking sheet) can sometimes be beneficial, but can also cause some difficulties such as not being economical, changing the taste or texture of the food, or simply do not do the job that they are advertised to do. You may find that a silicone baking mat will be the best product for your money. This functional, flexible product can be used again and again. You can feel that most of your other baking aids in the kitchen can be replaced by a baking mat. Let's talk about the additional benefits of utilizing the silicone baking mat.

1. They are flexible. The silicone is pliable and malleable. It may bend like paper, but is 100 times stronger. The mat won't tear or shred when you bend or flex it to loosen baked goods and remove them from the sheet. The mat will fit inside of virtually any sized pan that you use in your kitchen.

2. The silicone baking mat is versatile. Along with being useful for lining all of your pans, the baking mat can be utilized to protect your counter when preparing foods that tend to make a mess such as chocolate spreads, carmelized suar mixes, and fondues.

3. Clean up is easy. A wipe with a damp towel is all that is needed, then set aside to dry. The mat can also be washed in the dishwasher if needed.

4. It is non-porous and non-absorbent, which makes this product resistant to stains and odors. And because this is a silicone based product, there is very little chance that micro-organisms will survive on its surface.

5. It is heat resistant. This means that you can keep the temperature high while baking without having to worry about your silicone baking mat bursting in flames. - 30289
