Perforated professional baking mat, large

The perforated professional baking mat large is a high-quality alternative to baking paper and ensures optimum air and moisture circulation thanks to its fine perforations. This results in evenly baked pastries with a beautifully crispy base. The mat is robust, durable, easy to clean and can be reused as often as required. As it is also used in confectioneries, it is generally larger than a typical domestic oven, but can easily be cut in half and adapted flexibly. It is ideal for a variety of pastries such as choux, éclairs, profiteroles, puff pastry pockets, filled croissants, nut rolls and other puff pastry and choux pastry baked goods. Choux pastry is prepared fresh, filled into a piping bag with a 10 mm perforated nozzle and piped directly onto the mat in even dots or rolls. Alternatively, a border can also be piped onto a round puff pastry base to make a St. Honoré tart, for example. The baking mat completely replaces baking paper. The shaped pastries are placed directly on the mat and brushed with egg or milk if required. For optimum baking results, place the lined mat on a perforated tray or rack and place in the preheated oven. Depending on the recipe, a small bowl of water can be added to the baking tray to create steam; towards the end of the baking time, the steam is released and the water removed to achieve a crispy surface. After baking, the baked goods can cool directly on the mat. Cleaning is uncomplicated: Depending on how dirty it is, all you need to do is shake out the mat, rinse briefly and leave to dry. The perforated professional baking mat produces even, cleanly baked pastries with a perfect base - both for professional use and at home.
