When I could no longer find space to use my maple bread board, I tried this out. Frankly it's not as great a surface because it tends to be either too slick or too sticky -- often during the same session of kneading. However, it's cheaper than a board, easier to clean up, and rolls up into something that fits in a drawer. ~ Kevin

Customer Reviews

Size
Just wanted to add that this is 18x26... That's bigger than the racks in my oven....

Parchment Replacement
For the most part, I no longer use parchment paper when baking. This has saved me money since parchment can be pricey. I have the half sheet and quarter sheet sizes.

The Silpat keeps baked goods from sticking, but it isn't just for baking. I use it when roasting veggies. I sift flour on it because it makes it eaiser for me to get the flour into my Kitchen Aid. I also shape dough on it. Pans are super easy to clean up after using a Silpat.

Just wash it in hot soapy water and it should work fine for you. Do not put it in the dishwasher or cut it.

Nothing better than a Silpat
You just can't beat a Silpat. I got this one for rolling pie dough (not to actually use in my oven.

It's size is great for crusts for my torte pan, and I had no problem getting my dough off once it had been rolled to the right size. No flour needed. I bought my mother-in-law one for Christmas a few years ago for when she makes pies and biscotti and she swears by it.
