It is highly heat resistant and can withstand heat up to or just above 450 degrees Fahrenheit or 230 degrees Celsius. This is usually the hottest temperature a home oven can heat, so you can bake almost anything on a silicone pastry mat without worrying about it melting or even catching fire in your oven. It is also a non-stick surface that you can use when preparing sticky doughs, including but not limited to bread dough.
You can use a silicone mat in many different ways. Here’s a list of ideas on how to get the most out of your silicone mats in everyday cooking and baking.
1. Substitute parchment or aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Can be used to bake cookies or stand-alone desserts or even bread
2. Keep the griddle clean. Can hold any hot and cold food
3. Lay the silicone mat flat on the countertop to knead bread or roll out cookie dough.
4. Heat the food in the oven on a baking sheet.
5. Cover the baked goods in the oven to ensure they rise evenly.
6. Place under the cake ring to prevent the cake batter from sticking to the pan.
