Customer Reviews

My new favorite kitchen "thing"
I love kitchen "things" that make assorted cooking activities easier. This mat certainly does that. A perfect size, whether you're messing with pie crust or bread dough or cookie dough or, well, whatever. The big bonus as far as I'm concerned is that when I lay it down on the work surface -- it STAYS there. No more slipping and sliding around while I'm rolling out dough. In spite of the mat's ability to get a grip on things, its working surface is slick enough to allow you to get by with less flour to keep dough from sticking. Cleanup could not be easier and storage is as simple as rolling up the mat and sticking it in a drawer.

Counter Improver
Rolling out tricky pastry like pie crust is not so bad on a standard counter top, but this mat improves the experience enough to be well worth the price. If you own this threaded type of silicon mat for baking, which I also highly recommend, you know exactly what to expect. This mat is just a huge version. Just for fun, I tried to stick it in the oven and found it was too big, though it might be used for that purpose in a commercial size oven. However, its purpose is to create a non-stick work surface that is easy to clean up, and it does that with style. The size is perfect for most projects, including pretty big pastry, and will probably be almost oversized for candy making. If you don't need something this big or don't have room for it, the standard silicone cooking mat from this brand or other (Exopat, Silpat, etc.) should be a better fit.

As others mentioned, the tacky nature of the mat keeps it from skidding, while the nonstick nature allows the use of less flour. The only real caveat is that it can't be used with a knife, though a pastry knife has not harmed mine. Otherwise, this is the perfect tool for common kitchen tasks and I love using it.

Finally, a mat that stays put!
I love this mat! It is the perfect size for my countertop AND it doesn't move around when I roll things out. Great size for rolling out cookies, pie crusts, pasta and bread dough. Easy to wash and store. Don't hesitate to purchase this baking essential.
