These silicone baking mats have made us quit tinfoil for good

    If someone want to bake cookies, the first choice for them is lining thee pan with parchment paper or aluminum. But there is another alternative---silicone baking mats. These mats are helpful for cooks who don’t want to deal with scraping food off their pans, clean oil-slicked pans or waste foil and parchment paper.

    Silicone baking mats are very useful when you’re rolling out sticky dough — they require you to use less flour to dust the top of the surface. All four sides of the mat have ruler marks in inches so you can easily measure long pieces of dough or pastry for bread-sticks or shortbread, which is so convenient for people who love baking.
