Five Star Reviews: | 82% Great to keep food from sticking to cookie sheets and to keep cookie sheets clean July 31, 2017 These mats are fantastic. We use them on top of cookie sheets anytime we bake anything. You don't need to grease the cookie sheet with these, and any sticky residue comes off of the mats easily.We use them for everything we bake: cookies, fish, roasted vegetables, chicken, etc.The main downside to them is that they stain easily. Ours are a strange color now, and they don't look very nice. But they're so useful that I don't care how they look.Pros:-Make cleaning cookie sheets so much easier-Don't need to grease cookie sheets-easily fits in dishwasherCons:-They Stain easily-Supposedly if they get cut you have to throw them away because they could leach bad things onto your food BAKING QUEEN LOVES THESE January 24, 2017 OMG I love these silicone baking mats, they are fantastic. I have used them for potatoes, fish, roast, cookies and they clean up with soap and water like a dream. They are so great to keep your cookie sheets clean but also bake with no spray or oil, everything just comes right off. I would purchase from this company again. Buy with confidence, you will love these mats and there are 2 in the package, which is a bonus when you are having to use 2 cookie sheets at the same time. These are magical! August 18, 2016 I don't know about you but I HATE scrapping and soaking my pans. Most of the time I just cook things on tinfoil so that I don't have to scrap a pan afterwords, that is until I found these Non-Stick baking mats. WHERE INTHE WORLD HAVE THESE BEEN ALL MY LIFE? I stumbled upon them by chance through a youtube video I was watching, a girl was making homemade fruit rolls ups with these mats and I was astounded that they just peeled right off. Right then and there I got on Amazon to find these babies, and even more astonishing was that I could get two of these miracle sheets for just over $10. I ordered mine right then and there. I used them right away. I made homemade fruit roll ups and couldn't believe that they just peeled off the mat (after 7 hrs in the oven). I also made homemade chocolates, and cheesy chicken, and NOTHING STUCK. HOLY COW! I don't have enough good things to say about these. The ONLY downside to these things is that you have to store them somewhere without anything on top of them. I find this a bit difficult, because I have a microscopic kitchen with almost no storage space (but this isn't the mats fault). Definitely read the directions before using. Do NOT cut on them, do not fold them, and do not store things on top of them. I highly recommend making your life just a little easier and buying these magic mats. Chef approved. Comparable to french made 'Silpat'. April 18, 2016 Chef and avid baker approved! I also have two of the professional kitchen grade "Silpat" brand that is made in France and highly respected in the industry, and these perform equally as well as thise. If used as intended, its non-stick properties will be 100% effective at every use.A couple tips for these mats to last a lifetime:- Lay flat and don't place anything rough or sharp below or on top of them- Do not cut on these mats after items come out the oven- Hand wash in kitchen sink, rather than dishwasher Longevity and quality January 16, 2016 PROS:- The Mats are very easy as well as straight-forward in regards to using the item.- I have never had to grease the baking pan since i've bought these guys.- Have been using these mats since August 2015, and they're still working fine to this day.- Everything is cooked evenly and minimal flipping is needed even if the instructions include flipping the food mid-cook.- There are not one, but two mats included with this package.CONS:- Cleaning has to be done very carefully, by hand or a really soft sponge. This is so this doesn't damage the silicon, but its worth it to keep the product working in tip top condition.TIPS:- Need to have the proper measurement baking sheet in order to have an even cook.SUMMARY:I have been using these sheets for so many assortments of foods. I have baked cookies on these mats. I have cooked fish on these mats as well as vegetables at the same time. I've made countless dinners as well as snacks and breakfast. There is no end to the use of these very useful mats. And the wear and tear on these guys are almost, if not, non-existent. If these mats get dirty, its simple as taking them to the sink and giving them a hand-wash in the sink. So scrubbing them with rough materials supposedly removes the non-stick aspect of them, and I do not want to test it out, so I will continue hand washing. Overall its a good product and saves me from greasing a baking sheet of any kind! And lastly make sure to get a baking sheet that fits it properly, because the food doesn't cook properly if the mat is at an angle. An oversized baking sheet will work as well. Perfect!! March 25, 2015 Silicone is where it's at, you guys! If you're a health conscious person like me! It's a great non-toxic alternative to using metal baking sheets!!I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to buy these - I had them in my wish list for too long. I'd been using parchment paper for every single baking experience where I didn't use glass bakeware, and what a waste of money that was - plus, it just creates more trash, which isn't good for the environment!You'll find me happily baking my grain free goodies almost daily now. I'm so happy with these mats that I can't wait to buy more for myself AND for a giveaway on my site! :) :) | 90% Perfect For Complicated Embossed Cookie Cutters October 25, 2017 Around Christmas, this bizarre mania overtakes me. I become a baking fiend, specializing in very elaborate, cut-out cookies, particularly the type with embossing. These are difficult to cut out, because of all the internal shapes, which means that the cutters don't release the dough, so it gets stuck in the nooks and crannies. The silicone baking mat is perfect for them. You roll out the dough, using no flour whatsoever. Then you cut, cut and cut your cookie shapes. The cutter comes up with no dough in it, because the mat acts like glue, holding the dough to its surface. Then you remove the excess dough from around the cut cookies, put the mat on a cookie sheet and put the whole thing in the oven. Easy peasy. A wonderful invention. I really like these June 9, 2017 I like these as they are easier to clean than cookie sheets, and storing them in a drawer is pretty cool... They take some getting used to, you recipe books won't tell you how to use them.... A couple of Google searches and you will figure out... Get some silicone pot holders to go with them, no slips, no burns... Great product... Full size ones are still pricey Great, reusable mats. No problems after a couple months of use May 20, 2017 I don't bake stuff too often, but when I do, it's really nice to have these around. They stay flat unlike most rolled up parchment paper, and they're easily reusable. Had them for a couple months, and haven't had any issues with them. Great product at a great price! May 2, 2017 I purchased these to replace several older silicon mats that had been abused over the years (kids cutting their pizza on it, edges starting to fray, etc.) These arrived on time, at a good price, and I learned that a Half Sheet size is still a tad large for the baking sheets I have. This is not an issue with the product ordered, just with the baking sheets I have. So now I'm searching for 'true half sheet' baking pans! In summary, product works as advertised, good price, fast shipping. I might order these for Christmas presents for several baking friends! Very good product April 22, 2017 The liners fit perfectly in my 1/2 sheet pan. They do not slip as parchment does at times. I bake cookies and use a lot of parchment. This will replace the expensive parchment and still give me cookies that do not stick to the pan. I really like these and will order more!! Perfect!!! April 5, 2017 These are amazing! I washed them in cool soapy water, dried them & made cookies 10 min after they were delivered. None of the cookies stuck & my brand new cookie sheets still look brand new just the way I like them! Cookies slid right off onto cooling racks & clean up was a breeze!!! With a 4 & 5 year old "helping" that's saying a lot! I. Thinking of buying another set! |

Four Star Reviews: | 11% Mats may or may not always be perfect, company has AWESOME customer service and makes other great things. January 8, 2017 Terrible item, I made the mistake of not using these for several years after buying because they came too late for the original use. I finally used them, and they smoke like crazy. What the hell?! How is this a useful item if it SMOKES AT 350 DEGREES F????Wish I'd read the reviews. Waste of money.Update: While I cannot speak to the current mats on the market, I can say that the company who makes them absolutely made it right with me, what incredible customer service. I'll buy from them again, seriously. Heck, I may try the pads again (knowing what could happen), cuz they definitely gave back more than I originally spent, and weirdly enough I needed EXACTLY what they sent me (I'm currently in the middle of a move, everything's everywhere but where it should be). What they sent me would have been worth buying, very nice.Thank you Artisan!P.S. The mats make very pretty and tidy placemats. Best For Baking Cookies... December 5, 2016 I love these baking sheets and use them while baking often. I currently own three sets of 2, along with 6 cookie sheets, and I use them for cookies more than anything else. They help keep my baked goods from sticking to the sheet and making removing them with a spatula a breeze. I have used them for other things, but find that if you use them for anything greasy they are much harder to clean than when just using them for cookies (chicken and other meats in particular tend to discolor them and leave a nasty film that can be difficult to remove). Aside from that, I have no complaints; I did notice some people have complained about them smelling, but I have not had a problem with that myself. Artisan Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat - 2 Pack Review June 9, 2016 Artisan Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat - 2 Pack ReviewI got these when my failed Macaroon baking sheet didn't happen. I am super happy with these They work awesome and so far nothing has stuck to them. Cookies come out nice, i use a air bake pan under them, and anything else i have put on them works wonders. They are a must have for anyone doing baking.Pro’s• Nothing sticks• Easy to clean• Come in a 2 pack, so that's niceCon’s• Hard to store, they don't keep rolled up well so i have had to improvise• Dust and things stick to them, i usually wipe them down right before I use themConclusionThese are another must have for any baker or aspiring baker. They help with clean up and work well for cooking just about anything. just remember not to cut on them. Great product, highly recommended! February 23, 2016 I'd like to start off by saying that I dont bake much - mainly stuff that comes frozen. However, I was looking for an alternative to using aluminum foil for everything. I took a chance and bought these. I am not disappointed. They work great. I have baked a variety of things that normally even stick to foil, but have not found a single thing that sticks to these. They fit really well on standard size baking pans. They clean really easily and I have not had a single functional issue with them since I bought them.So why 4 stars? I noticed that once you use them, you can see the outline of things you've baked on them - even after they've been washed. I made frozen cookies on them as a test run when I first got them and you can still see the circles where they sat. This has since been covered with other shapes and sizes, but it still is strange that it happened. They work great, but its strange to me that food imprints their shape on them - even if you follow the directions closely.I highly recommend these to anyone who wants an easy cleanup to their baking projects. Great for induction cooktops care! February 9, 2016 Item: Artisan Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat | Ships from and sold by Amazon.com.It works very well for the purpose I've bought it.I use it to protect my induction cooktop while cooking, by placing it over the cooktop.Has been working very well by now, other attempts using mat without "Fiberglass Mesh" has been a complete fail.Look for this "Fiberglass Mesh" when buying, not all mats have it.4 out of 5 because I didn't use it to bake, yet. Very useful April 3, 2015 I bought these for two purposes; baking and chocolate making. I think it was absolutely worth the cost, however, one of my mats is already a little damaged after just a month or so. More on that later.For baking, I've used these for everything from chicken to asparagus to chocolate chip cookies and they have held up really well. Nothing really sticks to the surface, the only exception I can think of is the breading I used for my chicken one time. It did take a little bit of scrubbing to get that out, but once I did, it was like new. We use the oven to roast veggies pretty much every night, so this has really saved us a lot of aluminum foil, which is what we normally use on top of the cookie sheets. From experience, I would suggest you make sure these will fit your cookie sheets, because they are just a tad too big for mine. Mine are 10" x 15" and the sides of these mats stick fold up a little bit when I put them in the cookie sheets.Great also for chocolate making. I made peanut butter cups on them last time and although there wasn't much of a mess, any chocolate that did drip onto the mat came off easily.As I mentioned before, one of my mats is already damaged. The edge is bent and there's a little bit of fraying around where the crease starts from one side. I believe this may have happened when my boyfriend put this in the dishwasher, so please try to avoid doing that. It's fairly easy to just hand wash these mats. | 7% Easy clean up July 25, 2017 For the most part I love these. My main pro is the easy clean up. Biggest con is that everything outside of cooking clings to them. (i.e. pet hair and crumbs) I have to wipe them down with a damp cloth before each use, that doesn't stop me from using them though. So far so good. I bought these to use as liners in ... June 27, 2017 So far so good. I bought these to use as liners in place of parchment paper. After a few uses, I am happy with the results including the ease in washing. Ask me later if they hold up after repeated use. Non stick. Left some weird taste on my food. June 12, 2017 When using them (180F oven) to dry some fruit leather, it left some funky tastes on my food, though I read on another review(s) that it goes away. Not sure how poisonous that was but I didn't want to chance it so I threw the food out. I'll try again and let you guys know. Interesting product. May 14, 2017 Who knew? I wasn't sure what I'd do with them, but everything we bake goes on one of these. Sure makes cleanup a snap. Nothing sticks, however a little extra tlc for getting grease off them. Clearly a timesaver for us. YMMV. Another item to clean but they work! May 11, 2017 These are super slick and easy to clean with soap and water. Baked fish on it and the fish just slides off to serve! They don't fit a standard baking pan very well though. The length is a little short and the width over laps the corners. Much better than foil for sure. Perfect deal for the perfect price February 12, 2017 I've been using maths like these for a while and I needed to replace my old ones that I have had for ten years... been looking around at different stores and just for one that it would have costed me almost $25. Here I got three mats for less than what they were offering me at any of the cooking stores I was there at their and they're very strong very durable and I've already used them multiple times all at once and they held up. If you're a baker or if you just don't like cleaning up... well good news their easy to use and easy to clean up... |

Three Star Reviews: | 3% Still unsure. August 7, 2017 I would given this a 4 if it haven't started cracking. I've only used this a few times since it arrived. All and all I'm still on the fence on whether to repurchase or not when it comes time to replace them. ... these for a while now and they have gotten pretty stained. They definitely work to keep things nonstick ... March 31, 2017 I've had these for a while now and they have gotten pretty stained. They definitely work to keep things nonstick but you can burn things to them. They really really alternate between being kind of greasy to sticky. We use one for baking and one for cooking. I'd recommend using them for baking more than regular cooking.The photos show both. Works as advertised, but don't use with greasy foods. April 15, 2016 I bought this product to use as a barrier when I make bacon in the oven. I normally just throw the bacon on a baking sheet and stick it in the oven. The bacon comes out great, but it's a bit of a pain cleaning up all the bacon grease and pieces of bacon that stick to the sheet after it comes out. After reviewing these mats, I thought this was perfect. Unfortunately, cleaning bacon grease off of these is MUCH more of a pain than cleaning it off a hard baking sheet. I ended up just throwing it away after trying to get all the bacon grease off. No matter how much I cleaned it, I could not get all the grease off the mats. There was a perpetual film of grease.The product worked as advertised and made the cleanup of the baking sheet much easier, but it was not worth the trouble of cleaning the mat itself. I imagine this would be ideal for baked goods, but I would avoid using these when cooking something greasy. Like it... May 27, 2015 This was my first purchase of silicone baking mat. I am not sure how the orginial brand of silicone mat look like, but I am happy with mine. It came with 2 mats.Beware of the size when purchase, it not a large mat, but it fits my baking tray perfectly. The mat is a bit thin and I don't know if it suppose to be like that, but I have to be a bit careful when using and caring for them. In addition, the mat seems to absorb odor/fragrance really well. I did not use my mat until recently and I store it in a hallway closet. I also store my fabric softener dryer sheet a long with tons of other things, but the mat (still in its box, but the box has a cut out piece) absorb the scent really well. I kept thinking that once I wash it and using eat to broil meat in the oven, the scent won't affect much. However, I was wrong, I washed 1 mat and placed my meat on it to bake in the oven. And the softener scent actually infused with the meat. After removing the meat, I washed the mat a couple times and it not only still has the softener scent, but now combined with the meat scent. I have to air out both mat for almost a week and reduce down the odor.Overall, it does it job at baking in high heat oven. Great for Bakers! February 4, 2015 I've been wanting to order these for a while and they have been a good purchase. Over Christmas I used them countless times and it was wonderful to not have to worry about looking for or be almost at the end of the parchment paper.Pros:- Completely fits onto my Nordicware Jellyroll pans- Rolls up or can lay flat- Dries quickly- Don't need parchment paper when cookingCons:- Leaves marks of where the cookies wereI read the directions about these and the proper cleaning procedures and followed them exactly. However after using them the first time there were round cookie marks of where the cookies were placed. I thought that after I cleaned them the cookie mark would leave the surface but they have stayed. It's not a stain or a discoloration but if you are looking at it when on the pan you can see that there were already cookies on a clean sheet. I don't know if that is just this brand or if the other brands would have the same effect.Even though this happened I'm extremely happy with the purchase and glad that now I have a reusable surface to use instead of having to toss paper away after baking. Good price, don't last long November 5, 2014 These silicon mats work great for cookies and other baked goods. Baked goods peel right off, like cooked on a greased cookie sheet, only cleanup is much easier because, well, nothing is greased. Heat transfer seems good, since everything cooks evenly, and overall these mats serve their non-stick function quite well.Unfortunately, you can't (shouldn't?) use these mats with wet foods, like for baking meat, because food bits that are left behind when water evaporates on these mats DO stick. This happens to some extent with baking, too. The consequence of this is that you shouldn't expect these mats to last long. After a few months cooking with one daily, it will be stained, and stuff will stick to it.I can't complain too much about these mats because their price offsets the unfortunate reality that you have to replace them frequently. Still, they're nothing to write home about. You might be better served in the long run using parchment paper, though these aren't a bad alternative. | 1% Work fine but check your pan sizes first. September 9, 2017 These are great but not the right size. I don't use them very often. Check your pan/sheet size before you order them. Really like these. Makes some foods more crispy/crunchy - good ... August 1, 2017 Really like these. Makes some foods more crispy/crunchy - good thing. Also good for cookies to cool on. Makes for a perfect storm. After tearing at the box for awhile ... February 28, 2017 This is made in China and NOT as thick as it seems. I say that because it should give you a basic idea as to what kind of quality to expect. It arrived poking out of the original box and was stuck to the inside. I'm sure due to the fact that it's silicone but the inside of the box was made from a semi slick cardboard with plastic windows instead of a cheaper rough cardboard texture. Makes for a perfect storm. After tearing at the box for awhile I got a pair of kid scissors...the kind that shouldn't cut clothes or hair. I thought I was being careful to stay away from the mat but it turns out they weren't rolled up very neat and those kid scissors cut right through the end of one of the mats without me even knowing it. Now I have a chunk missing out of one of them. I'm not even sure if it's usable at this point. I have yet to try them in the oven but based on my experience with how sticky the silicone is (aka non-pourous, very smooth), I'm assuming they will be very good for their intended use. I was hoping for a thicker mat as advertised and I am extremely disappointed that I received an opened and handled product. Not good for macarons... February 13, 2017 If you are buying these to make macarons, don't. Save your time, money, and frustration and just splurge on the silpats. I thought that it was my macaron recipe that needed altered, but the problem was these silicon mats. For any other cookie they will be fine... which Is why I gave 3 stars... but for macarons they do not work. The silpat, on the other hand, has made a world of difference with my macaron baking. Make cleanup easier! December 13, 2016 Cookies do not stick, however you'll need to adjust baking times as these will help to bake a little quicker. Once you know that, these are great. Cookies slide right off not as good as I had thought April 19, 2016 It's all right, not as good as I had thought. The mat are not as non-stick as I thought for kneading dough. |

Two Star Reviews: | 2% Cleaning them is annoying as they feel oily after the first use March 23, 2017 They get stained so fast. Cleaning them is annoying as they feel oily after the first use.Gets 3 stars because of durability. Threw out one because it became so nasty looking, was unbearable to use. How Do You Like Your Cookies? March 3, 2016 I really wanted to love these and perhaps had high expectations. I've never baked on the silicone mats before, preferring parchment paper or just a bare cookie tray. That said, I found these rather temperature sensitive. I immediately broke out my baking ingredients as soon as these arrived to make chocolate chip cookies. Well, many tries later, half the batch was burnt on the bottom and the other half was perfectly done. The culprit? These darn silicone mats. The bottom of the cookies were cooked before the centers were done and thus moved to the burnt stage when they were ready. The length of time needed for a 'done' cookie was actually a minute or two or three more than was called for in the recipe.I may try a few more recipes to be sure, but I have a feeling these will be returned and I'll return to my old methods. Who knows? I may try silicone again once I wash the taste of Burnt Cookie out of my mouth. IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN after use for cookies January 3, 2016 This was my first ever silicone baking mat, so I don't know where my experience with this product falls in the spectrum of how this product is supposed to function. My issue is I cannot get this thing clean and un-greased after making cookies. Light wash with Dawn and water, scrub here and there, and rinse - it's still greasy - so repeat, again, again, again.. still greasy. Is that normal with silpats? If so, this is not for me, my kitchen is clean, and I have no room for greasy filthy mats.I've owned this thing for about a year now (I once got it clean, and for about 9 months resorted to parchment paper instead when baking) however it's christmas cookie season, so out comes the Artisan Metalworks silpat. I look at it, and it looks me right back. It's an awkward relationship. This year, I scrubbed that thing so hard in my sink that on the first try, it came out squeaky clean. I was impressed and thought this might be the start of a useful relationship. However, days later I baked fresh bread on it, and the bread's bottom tasted remarkably like soap. I baked cookies on it days later (they were sooo flippin' good) and had to throw them away as they tasted like soap too. The day I throw out fresh baked soft gooey artisanal chocolate chip cookies, worthy of some major award, is a very sad day.So, are silpats supposed to be greasy? Is anyone else out there experiencing this? Is it just me who likes non-greasy cookware? I threw out the soapy silpat, but I have 3 more (I purchased 4 of these things, ugh). Flavors/odors cling to the mats even after washing October 16, 2014 While flavors and odors may not PENETRATE the mats, they do CLING to them--even after washing with soap and warm water. If I bake garlic bread on these sheets, wash, then bake cookies, my cookies end up smelling and tasting a bit like garlic bread, and vice versa (if I bake the cookies first, the garlic bread has a faint cookie taste). Not impressed to say the least. I thought the cleaning instructions that came with it said NOT dishwasher safe (in contrast to the Amazon description), but maybe I will try them in there next, since no amount of washing by hand will get these things truly clean. I liked these a lot, but maybe mine were defective? July 25, 2014 After just a few uses, there were bubbles in the center parts of both of my mats, so I returned these.I don't know if mine were defective (to cause the bubbles with normal use according to the directions) or if that is par for the course with these, but I also wasn't sure if they would be safe to continue using.Other than that, they worked VERY well and I was happy to not have to tear and fold parchment paper to fit my baking sheets... I'll either re-buy these to see if I just got a fluke, or try a different brand of similar baking mats. not durable January 31, 2014 I was very interested in trying these silicone mats. I stored them according to instructions (rolled up, not creased). On the first use, I noted the protective backing had come apart from the reverse side of the mat. According to the information sheet, this now renders the mat unusable. Very disappointing. The one that I did use yielded a cookie that did not spread out on the cookie sheet as much as the cookies baked on a pan lined with parchment paper.Perhaps I received a defective mat, but I'm not likely to replace it. Any kitchen item that requires gentle handling is probably not for me. I expect tools to be of very sturdy construction, as I believe I should not have to replace them (buy a good tool and it should last 20 or 30 years…or longer!). | 1% No good - consider an alternative choice August 10, 2017 Used it twice and the second time the veggies stuck to the mat and it was difficult to clean. Also, the coating is coming off the mesh. Never had heat above 400 degrees. I'll try the second one, but the first one will not be used again. They don't look and feel like the silicon baking sheets I have checked from brand-name ... May 15, 2017 They don't look and feel like the silicon baking sheets I have checked from brand-name specialty kitchenware store. I have other silicon utensils that I have bought from Costso, these definitely don't feel the same at all. Don't know if these are safe at all or might leak out any harmful chemical for human consumption. I haven't used them, afraid to.Can I return these? Can manufacturer please forward info and guarantee of any sort? Stained on first use June 23, 2016 It stained on it first use. I attempted to clean it like I do with my other silicone based products, but no luck. I would not recommend this product unless you don't care if it stains. Poor Quality Control May 27, 2016 On first glance, these seemed a much better deal than the overpriced Silpat sheets, two of which I have been using for at least 15 years, perhaps 20. Unfortunately, upon close inspection, one mat had a row of voids in the top surface, exposing the mesh. Another had some fuzzy stuff imbedded in the top surface and partially exposed. One of them seemed OK. Clearly the maker has poor QC. I returned them. |

One Star Reviews: | 2% Smoke Alarm Hazard March 17, 2016 Kicked-off the smoke alarm for over an hour! The silpats created a catastrophe at my house. The alarm would not stop sounding unless you stood directly under it, waving a magazine. Had to open doors & windows to air out the house & my puppy got out... it was awful. The neighbots came running,.. embarrassing. I was simply baking plain ol' Toll House cookies at 375 degrees.I didn't know that this type of product would smoke, but on a hunch, I googled it & mystery was solved. I bought them based on the number of high ratings, but from the look at the "recent" reviews of this product, something must have changed. They are going in the trash, it took over an hour to clear the stuborn fumes/smoke out of the house & shut-up the alarm. UGH. These are NOT non-stick and also conduct heat very poorly February 18, 2016 I've been trying to make macarons with these but after 10+ batches, I still had hollow macarons that stuck to the silicone mats no matter how long I left them in the oven or how overcooked the tops were. I tried lowering and raising the oven temp, overmixing or undermixing the batter, moving the oven rack up and down, different quality ingredients, different baking sheets, different recipes, and other things I don't even remember doing anymore, and the same problem. Finally, it occurred to me that I should try parchment paper. And what do you know? The next batch came out perfect in half the time. No burnt tops, no stuck bottoms, no hollow shells. Turns out, for some reason, the mats were just not getting hot enough to cook the bottom of the macaron so they were collapsing inside, leaving me with hollow shells and bottoms that didn't come off.I also tried to make sugar cookies with these. I had to bake them five minutes longer than usual and the batter didn't spread at all, so I had sad little puffy "cookies". I'd used that same recipe multiple times without a problem, and once again, when I switched back to parchment paper, the cookies were fine.I'm not sure if I'm just using them incorrectly, but the frustration and confusion these have caused are just not worth it. Spend the extra on the original December 18, 2015 Spend the extra on the silpats instead of this version. I purchased these along with the original silpat. While baking my holiday cookies, the ones I baked on these cracked on the edges and got darker on the bottom but weren't done on top, however the ones I baked on the silpat turned out perfectly. Same dough, same pan, same oven, only difference was which mat I baked them on. Sure wish these worked better. These were great for cookies November 30, 2014 These were great for cookies, olive oil and vegetables, and other items that don't stick too much. However when I used them with a honey brown sugar recipe, the food stuck and it would not rinse clean. This only got worse with other sticky glazes. The mats stained and the orange borders started to peel. I'll add some pics. I'm tossing them and getting the big name brand instead. Now I know why I like parchment paper July 19, 2014 I forgot to take some pics, but there were some deformities right out of the box. I have two "standard" sizes of cookie sheets and they didn't fit right... my fault for not measuring? THEY ARE NOT DISHWASHER SAFE. that's why I bought them. They're very hard to clean cause they're floppy of course, and the one sheet I did use wound up with visible and tangible imprints of my cookies. Now I know why I like parchment paper. The cookies did slide off, but the matt is hot to the touch out of the oven and hard to slip off the cookie sheet... again something which might not matter to you. There were a few more bubbles and warps after one trip in the oven at 325 for 12 min. fell apart after first use February 6, 2014 The mats are completely falling apart. Clumps came off of the outside border, along with the material the mat is made of. They are now useless. | 1% Flimsy September 3, 2017 I am very disappointed in this product. It is a fiber that is coated with some sort of plastic or other hard coating so that it looks very much like a screen. After only one use, and no sharp utensils, I had a worn spot on one side where the hard coating had come off and the fiber was exposed. After two uses, there is now a hole. I will be looking for a replacement mesh likely made of perforated metal. Don't waste your August 25, 2017 After the first use, the edges were curling up due to the heat. Second use, part of it was burned off. Don't waste your money I was disappointed at the quality of this product July 23, 2017 I was disappointed at the quality of this product. One showed white thread coming through the mesh and one had messed up edging around it. Unfortunately I threw away all the packaging so can't return them. One of them was ok. I am very disappointed with this product July 17, 2017 I am very disappointed with this product. I had a terrible experience with this. I used it on a propane gas grill. This is not my first time to grill. See pictures what I mean. One mesh with White area got burned and made a whole. It flared up while chicken thighs are being grilled. The Other mesh borders melted and came undone. Will definitely return this product. It didn't do what was described by the great reviews. Why mine is defective and others had good reviews. Made in China not in France as we'd expected. March 3, 2017 These are not as we expected. Made in China, not France. Will never use them, so a total waste for us. |
