KitchenCraft Non Stick Pastry Mat with Measurements, Plastic, Extra Large, 61 x 45 cm, White

Bought as a novelty but practical prize for a charity bake off event, the winner has been really impressed with this mat.I've got to admit that for some reason I didn't think the pastry mat would be as big as it is, but obviously it has to be, so that you get a wide variety of dimensions to roll your pastry out to. It isn't very flexible so doesn't roll up well, so you need to be able to slot this down the side of a cupboard etc. for storage. Having said that, our winner was pleased with the size as the mat isn't necessarily being used just for measuring pastry - it's come in very handy for when his 2 young children bake - the mat covers a wide area and is very easy to wipe clean. Given it's portable nature, it can be put on a coffee table or other lower surface which makes baking with the children a lot easier.All in all, a very good quality, practical product.

This pastry mat is very useful indeed. I actually used it to roll out a very large piece of fondant icing for a birthday cake. As the icing was too large to lift off the mat without breaking, I just held the mat upsidedown over the cake and the icing peeled off beautifully, landing in exactly the right position without cracking or breaking. The only downside is that the mat is very large and doesn't roll up but I've solved that problem by covering it with polythene and suspending it by a skirt hanger in the corner of my wardrobe where it takes up hardly any room and keeps nice and flat. Good value for money.

I bought this mat to decorate a cake with icing. I have only made two cakes but I am still using this mat very often as it is very good for dough rolling and kneading. The dough does not stick to the mat, I do sprinkle a bit of flour on it. It also has vertical and horizontal rulers in inches and cm, very useful if you want to control the size of the dough when rolling it.The only problem is that you cannot fold it so it takes a lot of space and it is not easy to clean so that is why I don't give 5 stars to this product. I use dettol wipes to clean it after each use, I think it will be a total mess if I try to wash the mat in the kitchen sink.

Came well wrapped rolled up in a cardboard. Seems to be big enough for kneading/making fondant, rolling out fondant for cakes and as a work surface area liner for making flowers and characters etc with fondant. Hope to use this for making rotis/parathas etc too. The sizing print might come handy though not a must for me atm. The only down side is when storing this, it will have to either be put in a tube storer or be tied with a string to keep it rolled in place or a huge file folder like thing.

Its a great pastry mat. Because of the price I thought it would be something below average but its very good.Its thick and hard enough and best to keep it flat when you store it rather roll it.The only negative is that it slips when you work with pastry the only way to keep it at place when you work the pastry to push it against the wall. But overall a good product.

i bought this matt, as it was like one my mum has had for 30 years!however, her matt STILL has all of its printing intact, where as the printed measures and circles on the underside of this mat just comes off, after the first use!!huge area of the printing is gone from my mat after only a few uses, and i have only hand cleaned it with a soft cloth and water!the 2nd time i used it the benchtop was slightly was slightly damp from being wiped down and once the matt was placed on top and used, the printing was left on the surface of the damp bench!although the actual surface is good for rolling out things on, and is a good large size, it was really disappointing about the quality of the printing!the reason i bought the matt was because it had the circular sizes etc on it and that was useful, but it is just going to all come off eventually...why is it that my mum can have something made 30 years ago , and it still looks as good as new, but these days ,everything is so rubbish quality that it breaks down after the first use?i was going to complain and ask for another one, but i figured- whats the point? the next will do exactly the same again!buy it if you want a good surface for rolling, but not because you want to make use of the measures and sizes on it!

This mat is delivered rolled up, which means you will need some heavy items to weigh it down with the first couple of times you use it, otherwise it's perfect. I had been looking for a mat that was made in a thicker material than they usually are (as my table is uneven and I need a flat surface) as well as a large one, and this delivered on both points. The delivery was quick and the price super cheap as well so there's no complaints from me on this one!

I like the size of it and it serves the purpose. The thing I do not like about is that it is sliding while rolling pastry. I do not mind this as I am not cooking too often and do not have to use it more than 4 times a year but if you think you will need to use it on more regular basis it is better to buy a silicon one that will stay in place while rolling on it.
