Silpat Baking Mat

The Silpat baking mat has been around for a couple years now. Have you heard of it? Well let me tell you a little bit about it!

Basically, the Silpat baking mat is a new way to bake without the hassle of foods sticking. You know what I mean.

It’s your favorite cookie recipe. You can already smell them in the oven and then the timer goes off. You take the cookies from the oven and get ready to try one, still steaming from the heat.

Suddenly, your worst nightmare is true! Your cookies have stuck to the pan because you forgot to put on your non-stick cooking spray, aluminum foil or parchment paper. Common mistakes, but either way your cookies are ruined.

With the Silpat baking mat, you will never have to spray another pan as long as you bake! The mat is 11 ¾ x 8 ¼ inches so it fits most standard baking sheets. In addition, this mat has a naturally non-stick texture which can withstand temperatures from -40 up to over 480 degrees! That means that not only can bake with this mat, but you can also chill foods like chocolate molds or ice cream sandwiches.

These convenient little sheets were developed from a cooking company in France called Demarle. They were invented in 1982 and it’s very possible that the first of all the Silpats to be used are still in kitchens today. These heavy-duty mats can be used over 2,000 times! You better get to baking… your Silpat is waiting!
