Silicone Pastry Mat, Large 60 x 40cm with Measurements
This silicone pastry mat is a large 60 x 40cm non-stick mat for baking and cooking, with measurement markings for rolling dough and pie crusts. It is made from premium food-grade silicone that is long-lasting and resists wear, and it comes in blue or purple.
The silicone pastry mat grips the worktop tightly to stop it sliding, and its smooth, non-stick surface is easy to use and reusable. It is flexible and folds or rolls up to take very little room in a drawer.

Why a measured mat helps
The printed circles and scales show you exactly when your pastry is big enough for your tin, so there is no guessing and less waste. The silicone pastry mat makes home baking neater and more precise.
Care
Wash the mat in warm soapy water, rinse and let it dry flat, or wipe it clean. Do not cut on the mat with knives, and roll it up rather than folding it sharply for storage.
Baking tips
Read the recipe through before you start, weigh and measure everything first, and preheat the oven so it is at the right temperature when the mixture is ready. Most ovens run a little hot or cold, so check bakes a few minutes early. With the silicone pastry mat in the kitchen, home baking becomes easier and more enjoyable.
Storing your bakeware
Keep baking tools together in one cupboard or drawer so they are easy to find on baking day. Make sure everything is completely dry before putting it away. Stored like this, the silicone pastry mat will stay in good condition and ready for the next bake.
Who it is for
Bakeware like the silicone pastry mat suits beginner bakers, families who bake together and experienced home bakers alike. They also make a thoughtful gift for a birthday, a new home or anyone who has just discovered a love of 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, sturdy tools such as the silicone pastry mat make baking with children easier.
Cleaning up after baking
Soak bowls and tins in warm soapy water while the bake is in the oven, so the washing up is done by the time it comes out. Wipe flour off the worktop with a dry cloth first, then a damp one. Little habits like this make the silicone pastry mat a pleasure to use every time.
Planning your bakes
Baking ahead saves time on busy days: many cakes, breads and biscuits freeze well once cooled and wrapped. Bake a batch at the weekend and freeze portions for lunchboxes and visitors during the week. Good tools such as the silicone pastry mat make batch baking simple.
Getting the best results
Follow recipe quantities closely, as baking is more precise than cooking, and avoid opening the oven door too early while cakes are rising. Let bakes cool before slicing or decorating. A little patience and tools like the silicone pastry mat go a long way.
