Silicone Baking Mats - Set of 2 Non Stick Half Sheet (16-1/2" x 11-5/8") - Food Grade, Easy to Clean

I have been eyeballing a couple of Silicone baking mats for some time now. My skepticism kept using "plasticy" things in the oven kept me from buying them but when I saw these on sale the other day, the price I was paying for TWO mats was all I needed to help make my decision. I received these last night and couldn't wait to use them this morning. These came ROLLED up in the mail. I was a little bummed when I saw that because I thought "Oh great, now they won't lay flat". Well, I was wrong. I unrolled them and they were ready to go! I took them straight to my kitchen sink and rinsed with warm soapy water and left them to dry out in my dish rack. My first grader ONLY likes HOT lunches - he's not a sandwich guy. I couldn't wait to make his pizza rolls on these this morning. I placed one of the mats on my cookie sheet and laid out about 12 pizza rolls. They bake at 425 degrees for about 10-11 minutes. When I bake these on my cookie sheet and on aluminum foil, they are normally toasted pretty well (sometimes dark brown at the bottom) at around 9-10 minutes with the cheese leaking out. When I did these on my ChicoChef, at 5 minutes (halfway through baking), the pizza rolls still seemed pretty "raw". I started to get worried. Plus, I saw a LITTLE smoke around the mats - I was even more worried that this thing was going to burn up in the oven (so I stuck around and kept an eye on the baking process. I'm not quite sure if the smoke was due to my VERY old and used cookie sheet either). I decided to add an extra minute to my pizza rolls though...then checked my pizza rolls at the 1:00 minute remaining marker...lo and behold...pizza rolls were INDEED nice and cooked...cheese seeping through the edges and all!!! The mat was NOT burnt! In fact, I decided to take the oven off and let the rolls sit in the warmth for the additional minute. The rolls did not have the dark brown "burnt up" look and feel to it like they do most of the time. And like all the other reviewers pointed out...there is NO STICKING and scraping needed to remove food items on these. They wipe right off or you can just use your fingers to pull stuff right off. I cannot wait to try other things with this as my week progress.I will ONLY update this comment if I have an issue with this mat. The only thing I would say is a con to these mats (as with anything with this type of material) is that you have to watch for staining. The areas where the pizza rolls leaked out the cheese/sauce have that yellowish/orangish tinge/stain to it. I did wash with warm soapy water (I'm afraid to scrub too hard) but the stains are still there.These are a GREAT bargain for TWO mats! I've seen other manufacturers charge this price for 1. I bake A LOT. I make my sons lunch EVERYDAY - the cost for liners can add up at the end of a school year! Also, most of our dinners are done in the oven as well. Try them, you have nothing to lose...these are FDA approved (something that caught my eye in the description as well) and come with a lifetime guarantee. Besides, these are being sold through Amazon Prime - if you don't like it, you can return it!Happy Baking!

Great bargain. I've used them a dozen times so far. No problems. The more I use them, the more I appreciate having them. I should have bought these years ago.It's great to have two, I can bake two sheets of cookies, bread, etc, at once. Also, clean up is much easier than an oiled sheet, and stuff that would stick to oiled sheet won't stick to these silicon mats.I washed them a few times in the dishwasher, but they clean so easily that there's no need to do that, just give them a quick scrub in the sink on each side with a stiff nylon brush with a dab of detergent and hand dry them. Roll them up and store each in its own cardboard tube left over from an empty roll of kitchen paper towels. It takes me about one minute to be done with each one. Fast and easy, and convenient compact storage.Another significant advantage is that because you don't need to oil a sheet, you can cook at much higher temperatures. I bake rustic breads, and often need to go to 450 degrees. That temperature makes oil smoke and burn, but these mats take it in stride, with no bread, cookies, etc, sticking.One last note; DON'T use any sharp utensils, (knife, cookie cutters, etc), on these mats. It will ruin them, they are only meant to be used as a non-stick surface for cooking. If you want to cut on a mat, buy a mat that is specifically designed for that purpose. Amazon sells them.This company does a good amount of follow up using email, along with good recipes and cooking tips.Buy these mats, learn to use them for their advantages, and eventually you will come to love them.

Silicone Baking Mat 2-Pk - Fits Half Sheets - Blue, Red colorsI love baking mats. They are like the new technology in cooking (for me anyway). I bought these back in 2015 but never got around to doing the review. They are great. This is a 2 pack that comes with different sizes. I liked that there was a smaller one that I could use in the toaster over. I bake often but I don’t always need to use the big over. So the smaller mat / sheet comes in handy. These mats are good quality. They have held up over time and have less staining than a few of the other mats that I have. It seems like they last a long time. They are still in really good shape after a lot of usage.Star Rating: When I do a review I always start out with 5 stars ★★★★★. Then if there is something wrong I will deduct one star and explain why. This way I’m not just arbitrarily picking a number. This mat set gets 5 stars. They are good mats that still work after me using them for almost a year. (Yes, that includes burning stuff on them and they are still good).I do NOT ever give good feedback for bad products.
