Plain baking & rolling mats
There are 13 products.
Plain silicone baking mats replace baking paper and can be used again and again. Biscuits, macarons, eclairs and choux pastry release without greasing, and thanks to their glass fibre weave, mats such as the Silpat lie flat and spread heat evenly. In this category you will find the original SILPAT silicone mat 40 x 30 cm, other silicone mats in 40 x 30 cm, baking mats in 52 x 31.5 cm in white, black and brown, a transparent 30 x 40 cm mat, a 40 x 60 cm baking mat and large rolling mats up to 80 x 60 cm, some with printed diameters and measurements for rolling out dough and fondant.
Tips for baking and rolling mats
- Never cut on the mat: knives, cutters and scrapers damage the surface. Cut dough and pastes on a board and use plastic spatulas on the mat.
- Dust correctly: a little flour for biscuit dough, cornflour for fondant and marzipan. Nothing sticks, and coloured fondant leaves no marks.
- From freezer to oven: freeze shaped pieces on the mat; the Silpat can go straight from the freezer into the hot oven.
- Follow the care instructions: many mats are dishwasher safe, but the 60 x 40 cm rolling mat must be washed by hand. Store mats flat or rolled and never fold the Silpat.
For especially crisp bases, have a look at the category Perforated baking mats, where fine holes let moisture escape.
Frequently asked questions about plain baking mats
How hot can a silicone baking mat get?
It depends on the model: the Silpat handles -40 to +260 °C, the white Pavoni mats and the transparent mat -40 to +280 °C, several other mats up to +230 °C. Check the details for each product. Many mats can also be used in the freezer.
What makes the Silpat different from other silicone mats?
Silpat is the original: a glass fibre weave coated with silicone that transfers heat very well and works in every type of oven, including steam and microwave ovens. For rolling out fondant, the Städter mats in 80 x 60 and 60 x 40 cm and the ScrapCooking baking mat are more practical, as diameters and units of measurement are printed on them.
