Silicone Baking Mat, 60 x 40cm with Measurements
This silicone baking mat is a single non-slip mat for baking and cooking, about 60 x 40cm, with measurements for rolling dough and pie crusts. It is made from premium food-grade silicone that is long-lasting and wear-resistant, and the photos show a white mat with red markings.
The silicone baking mat grips the worktop tightly so it does not slide, and its smooth, non-stick surface is easy to use and reusable. It folds or rolls up to take very little room.

Why a measured mat
The printed circles show when pastry is big enough for your tin, so there is no guessing and less waste. The silicone baking mat makes home baking neater and more precise.
Care
Wash in warm soapy water, rinse and let it dry flat, or wipe clean. Do not cut on it with knives, and roll it up rather than folding sharply.
Baking tips
Read the recipe through before you start, weigh and measure everything first, and preheat the oven so it is ready when the mixture is. Check bakes a few minutes early, as most ovens run a little hot or cold. With the silicone baking mat, home baking becomes easier.
Who it is for
Bakeware like the silicone baking mat suits beginner bakers, families who bake together and experienced home bakers alike, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves baking.
Baking with children
Baking is a great way to spend time with children: measuring teaches numbers, and mixing and decorating are fun. Let them help with the simple steps and keep an adult in charge of the oven. Simple tools such as the silicone baking mat make it easier.
Cleaning up after baking
Soak bowls and tools in warm soapy water while the bake is in the oven, so the washing up is done by the time it comes out. Little habits like this make the silicone baking mat a pleasure to use every time.
Storing your bakeware
Keep baking tools together in one cupboard or drawer so they are easy to find on baking day, and make sure everything is dry before putting it away. Stored like this, the silicone baking mat will stay in good condition.
Getting the best results
Follow recipe quantities closely, as baking is more precise than cooking, and avoid opening the oven door too early. Let bakes cool before slicing or decorating. A little patience and tools like the silicone baking mat go a long way.
Planning your bakes
Many cakes, breads and biscuits freeze well once cooled and wrapped. Bake a batch at the weekend and freeze portions for lunchboxes and visitors. Good tools such as the silicone baking mat make batch baking simple.
More than pastry
The same mat works for kneading bread, shaping biscuits, rolling fondant and as a clean surface for children’s baking projects. Because it rolls up small, it is easy to bring out whenever you need a bigger work surface.
