Making bread it is perfect to knead on, roll out dough. Love this, wouldn’t be without it !
I bought the extra large size. It’s the best mat I’ve used. For whatever reason, my first one split down the middle which I didn’t understand because I always roll it up for storage. It comes FOLDED in a box which might explain the split. Who know how long it was in the box? Other than that, it’s my pastry mat of choice.
Couldn’t be any more satisfied than I was with this mat.
I purchased this non-slip baking mat so our counter will remain clean when we are working with cookie (and other types of) dough.
Liked the color, love the thickness, liked so much, order for those I love.
Very useful product my son is just learning to make pizza from scratch helped with sizes and easy to clea
I have been using for the past 2 years. I had been using an old Tupperware model that wouldn’t lay flat and slides all over. So I decided since I was baking more would replace and give this silicone mat a try. Why didn’t I do it sooner! Easy to clean, lays flat stays in place, the lines and marking are easy to read and I didn’t realize what a nice feature. Highly recommend
I never had luck with pastry sheets because they just moved around the counter. This is heavy weight and stays in place. I keep it folded and in the original box after use and it unfolds flat. Markings for sizing are great. I’ve never put it in the dishwasher cause it is so easy to clean. Highly recommend.
I bake bread & biscuits 3-4 times a week and the cleanup was such a pain. This pastry mat changed all that and made my baking passion so much easier and enjoyable. Thank You!!
Stays in place and washes easily. Stores well rolled up.
I like the color, all the measuring equivalents, candy making temperatures, baking pan substitutes and that it’s professional grade silicons, oven safe, most importantly dishwasher safe.
I could not find even a tiny speck of dough on the mat after using. I damp wiped it off and dried it. No need for the dishwasher!
Could not be more pleased!
I bought one for each of my daughters, too.
So easy to use. Stays flat on counter which makes it easy when rolling out dough for pies Very easy to clean.
I received this mat today. It was folded, but layed completely flat. It is very large and kept my counter top clean. My issue is that the printing on the mat is too blurry to read. I am going to return this and order another. I hope that the issue is just with this one mat.
Update: the issue is with my black countertops. I placed a white dishcloth under the mat and the problem was solved.
I love baking and the pastry mat has become an invaluable tool. I don’t know what I ever did without it.
Secures well to counter top, no sliding. Great for rolling out fondant.
Makes rolling out dough super easy. Doesn’t slip and easy to clean.
My husband and friend loved this so I ordered it for a gift for my daughter in law. Originally at ordering it would’ve been delivered by Christmas. How disappointing for the shipping/delivery date to change to January just before Christmas. Otherwise, everyone loves it.
After using the Tupperware pastry mat since the 1970’s I have finally advanced to the present. I unfold it, lay it on the counter and then roll out the pastry. No putting weights on the corners or wetting the counter to help it stay in one place. I can put this on my oven bottom to catch drips and it’s so easy to clean. Should have found this years ago.
used it on quartz worktop, judt to do pancakes with kids, not proper baking. big enough for 2 kids to share the mat for mixing etc. so easy to clean. cannot vomment heath resistance at this mome
I used this for the cutout cookies I always make at Christmas. I loved it. I used less flour than I normally would to roll out the dough with no sticking. Very easy to clean. Have not used in the oven & don’t know that I will but will definitely be using it again to roll dough.
It is everything that is claimed. It came in time to use for cookie rolling. Perfect!
I go this to use mostly to roll out sugar cookies and it worked great and also cleaned up easy. Folded small and put up for next sugar cookie baking or pie crusts
For everything you’re likely to buy this mat for it works well and as we expected.
There are conversions and the like printed on the perimeter, we happened to notice that one states there are 2 quarts in a gallon. We all should know that it’s really 4 quarts in a gallon. The Amazon picture isn’t high enough resolution to tell for sure, but this may have been fixed in the picture.
I wonder if it was a test? ;^)
Dough doesn’t stick to this, and the non-skid surface is helpful even when using wax paper to roll out pie crusts. Wish it were easier to clean though, since it’s very floppy. Still was a good purchase, however.
This lies flat on my counter and doesn’t slide around when I roll out dough. I love the fact that it not only has round measurements for pie crusts and tarts, but also inches (squares). It makes things so much easier to roll out rectangles.
This product more than met my expectations. The size is very large, rolls up for easy storage and wipes clean so easy. Very happy I ordered it. Highly recommend!
I have baked so many pies and pastries this summer because of this pastry mat! It is the perfect size and has grids and pie sizes marked, which makes it easy when I am rolling out dough. I love that it is silicone and so easy to clean. It is flexible, so after it is dry, I just roll it up to store it out of the way. I wish I had bought this sooner – it is definitely a time-saving kitchen equipment for me. If you are a pie or tart baker, you will want this!
This pastry mat was great. It sticks to the counter instead of slipping like my previous one. Markings are clear and easy to read.
My wife loves this mat. Works like a dream. Has all the measurements and cleans up easily. She’s rolls it up and stores it in the hanger with her rolling pin. The rubbery, grippy feel will stick to practically any counter top. I definitely recommend getting the large mat (this one). Whether you’re making pies or biscuits, this is the mat to get. Washes off so easy. You definitely won’t go wrong purchasing this mat. I may buy go ahead and buy her another one just to have. A very high quality item that you will not go wrong with this one
I use this the first day I got it. The extra large size is perfect. It’s large enough to roll out the dough and still not make a mess all over. It helps a dough from not sticking. The best feature for me is that the grid lines go completely across in both directions so I can easily see the shape that I need to roll out the dough to and also to cut pieces of dough in uniform sections.
Much heavier and larger than my previous mat…about the same density as a silpat. Highly recommend if you are an avid baker or scratch pasta maker!!! Just love it!!! Will be ordering many for holiday gift giving.
I was just a bit skeptical when I bought this mat as ones I had in the past would slide around when in use. NOT THIS ONE! I love to use it because it is heavy enough to stay put when kneading dough and rolling out pie crust. It wipes clean really easy! I love the info that is printed on it! I would certainly suggest buying this if you are looking for a great baking mat. (I have not used in oven yet and do not plan to do so). Happy cooking!
It does not work well with my brown sugar oatmeal bread nor my molasses honey wheat bread it sticks badly without some flour. But it is very useful otherwise, not crazy about the color but only choice for this size. Purple was too small for my needs. At least it matches my rolling pin.
Used this mat for rolling out puff pastry and cutting it into shapes. Easy work! The mat did not slide around the counter but it did release the pastry easily. Cleans quickly then rolls up to store. I can’t believe I spent all those years flouring counters. This is an infinitely better way.
I used this yesterday for the first time, it was exactly what I wanted. It was delightful to roll out my dough without the mat sliding all around on my counter. I also looked the mat over carefully to see if there was any defect where it was folded, as people had complained about this issue. Glad to say, mine was free of any defects !
Excellent large pastry mat that doesn’t slide, easy to use and clean. The circles of different diameters printed on mat are helpful, and so are measurement equivalents that I always seem to have to look up online. Glad I bought this one and would highly recommend.
I love making bread and this mat is a life saver. I used to do my kneading on the counter which I have to constantly clean. The dough also tends to stick more on the counter. With this mat, I can easily do my kneading. It is easy to clean and it helps me handle the dough better. The size of the mat is also perfect.
As long as your table/countertop is perfectly clean and dry, the mat sticks and stays flat without issue. I’ve used it several times now – it came quite in handy to measure out and cut lattice work for a pie. You can place a sheet of parchment paper over it and still be able to see the lines, and gently cut your dough with a pastry roller.
After it’s clean and dry I just fold it back up and put it in it’s original box. Takes up no space at all!
Wife threw her old ‘mat’ away as it had seen its days. Complained she would probably never find another one as good at it had been. I looked on Amazon and found this little fellow and place my order. It came as advertised and she is pleased as punch. She likes it better than the last one.
We had never used silicone in baking before this, but we are sold on it for pizzas. Haven’t made a pie yet, but would think it would work equally well.
The silicone map is extra large, as excepted, and slip proof. It has the bonus of many measurements printed around the perimeter of the central circles. In the upper right corner are liquid cup, pint, quart and gallon measurements. In error, it has 2 quarts=1 gallon. Hope I remember. I tried to use a permanent marker over the mistake but the surface is too slick. It certainly will not interfere with my baking. May be Quality Control will catch it eventually!
It’s nice and big and covers a good section of my kitchen counter when I’m baking. I usually roll out my dough on parchment and this mat keeps the parchment from sliding around and helps keep my counter or table clean. I bought this on a whim on Prime Day and haven’t been disappointed. I have a different silicone pastry mat that isn’t nearly as durable or as big, and this one is far superior.
Started baking because I was at home way more than usual due to covid. This mat is perfect to help measure dough and not worry about cleaner chemicals on counters.
I have a tile counter and have always had problems making bread on a big cutting board. Board kept sliding around. This mat works perfectly. It keeps flour from getting into the tile grout, it cleans up quickly and easily. Folds up for easy storage. It does not slide/move at all. It is large enough to lots of kneading space. I’m very happy with this mat.
I love it compared to my old non silicone mat that is thin and doesn’t lie flat and slides around on counter plus it curls at the ends and I must weigh it down with a glass at either end. This mat is a generous size with nice bold clear markings and I can’t wait to use it. Easy to fold and store. I just got it 2 days ago. I also bought one for a friend who is a new baker and she likes it too.
I had occasion to contact Kitzini customer service. I found that the company is as good as its printed word in supporting its product(s). Customer service worked quickly to ensure I remained a satisfied customer. I was so pleased with the product and customer service response that I purchased a second Kitzini mat of a smaller, size.
I think of my grandmother and her trusty bread board, covered with flour, and scrapping off the sticky dough when it missed the flour dusting. This sheet is great – large, attractive, uses and measurements well defined, wipes clean, and stores easily. Wish I’d had it years ago.
I am kicking myself that I did nto buy this type of mat years ago! Such a wonderful product! Easy to use and clean. Love that it has measurements on it. Especially love that my expensive countertops are not being used to roll and cut dough.
This is very large. I love that I have plenty of room to roll out doughs. Cleanup is a breeze. I roll it up to store it and it doesn’t effect it when opening. It lays flat and stays in place. I’ve found that I make more homemade doughs, cookies & pastries since I bought this because it makes it so much easier! Every baker must have one!
I love, love , love this mat. It makes clean up and handling so easy. This mat keeps my cocoa Bombs in place when filling and quick release when decorating chocolate candies. Easy to scrape off excess chocolate h the or re-use and simple rinse for cleaning.
I dont have complaints so far, have been using it for a few months. Obviously i dont put anything hot on it,I just roll the dough and it works great with my long oklava rolling pin. Also when I am making dumplings it creates a good working surface.
Using this i need so much less flour to roll out pie and pastry doughs.
My baked goods are much more moist!
and thanks to the grids i know exactly and quickly how far i need to roll out everything.
it also grips the surface underneath, i don’t have any issues with it slipping at all.
i highly recommend this!
The silicone material construction, durability and flexibility is easy to use, and clean. It doesn’t roll up or slip and slide away when being used. The helpful hints and size markings are easy to read. and the mat size is large. And, being heat resistant it protects tables and counters. I love it. .
I love this mat! I have a large area to work with, it’s large enough to make crust 9×13 for cobbler! I used to dread making bread or pie crust & you’re constantly pushing your mat back onto the table ugh!!!! Now I’m the happy baker instead of the frustrated bake
A friend had the larger mat & highly recommended it. I only have counter space for this smaller one but it’s fantastic! I used to have a laminated pie mat I kept in a box. I had to tape it down to the counter top In order to keep it in place and I dreaded making pie crust because my mat was so awful. This rolls up the same as my last one (so it doesn’t take up any more space), but it unrolls and lays perfectly flat every time- no tape needed! Plus, it has a special backing that keeps it in place all on its own. Super easy to clean & has measurements for reference. Love it! I use it to roll out pizza crusts and pie crusts cause it’s so easy to pull out & clean.
It’s non-slip and gives me a large work space. There are measurements imprinted to use as a guide when rolling out or cutting dough. I haven’t had a chance to see how it holds up to heat yet. However, I would recommend it to my family/friends.
I love the mat. It’s great with the measurements that I can see while working with my dough. The only drawback is that the mat doesn’t want to stay in place. I have to put heavy items on the corners so it doesn’t move around with I’m working on top of the mat.
I received the baking mat and, after washing it, immediately put it to work. I loved the way it didn’t slide around on the counter top as I was working with the dough. It was roomy and allowed me to roll cookie dough out with ease!!! I’ve never had such a wonderful item for rolling out doughs!! This is definitely a keeper!!
I’ve used this mat several times for pie crust and rolls. It is super easy to roll out dough to the appropriate dimension without dough sticking…it requires much less flour that rolling out on a conventional counter. Cleanup is pretty straightforward, but requires a little more elbow grease to clean than a conventional counter top. My only complaint is the storage. The box is just barely big enough to hold the mat, and it is super tedious to fold it to the appropriate exact dimension to put it back in the box.
This is a very good product. However, it was delivered in a box and the product was folded. Everywhere there was a corner of a fold it has a small hole in it. It should be rolled and delivered in a tube.
This item is perfect for my baking needs! I have a tile countertop and like to make bread. I purchased this item to replace my old worn out bread board because of size and price. The item is much larger than I anticipated, which is perfect for me and my sourdough recipes. It easily handles all the kneading and proofing involved, which staying in place on the counter. I would recommend this product to any serious baker.
A good device for rolling out pie crusts, etc. Really worked well. It does have information printed on the mat that would be nice to have readily available, but it is almost illegible. I want it all, I guess.
The lack of gridlines was the real problem… what is the use of starting at 1 when that is in a corner of the mat… you usually work dough in the middle so having a start and end grid line is important when shaping squares or rectangles to desired sizes. If you don’t know what I mean, then you haven’t done a lot of dough forming.
This new mat by Kitzini is very thick (and I plan to not use my ultra sharp knives on it)… pastry cutters should not be a problem. And, more importantly, it has grid lines and round shapes for pie dough / scones in inches! Its very well made and the silicone amply covers the fiberglass edges. Its rated to 450 F, but I have other silicone baking mats so this isn’t really needed, but nice when placing a hot pie pan on the mat knowing it won’t burn through. Cleaning it is easy as its firm enough that it doesn’t flop around in the sink. It is rated dishwasher safe, but I like to clean my mats and most other cooking utensils by hand so they will last my (and probably my great grandkids) lifetimes.
Enjoy! (apologies to Chef John, the best chef on YouTube despite what Gordon and Martha may think.)
This product is amazing! I got the xl size and am overly impressed with its weight and nonstick qualities. It came folded in a box and I was afraid it would have wrinkles, but wow, it immediately became flat, so now I can fold it to store, and it’s flat as soon as I set it on counter. It grips the counter (quartz counter) and does not budge while using. Super easy to clean too!
I have been very happy with the silicone mat for rolling out my pastry dough. It stays put, has very helpful guides, easy to clean and it stores beautifully rolled up. It’s thick enough to stay in shape and it fits perfectly on my kitchen counter space. I love it!!
I love the product, but I’d hate for anyone to be mislead by one of the measurement equivalents. It takes 4 quarts to equal a gallon (not 2 quarts, as stated on the mat). But for that I’d give it 5 stars.
This mat is easy to use and easy to clean. I have used it to make scones and biscuits! It has measured markings so you can easily make your dough the correct size. I make a lot of gluten free products and found they peel off this mat better than anything else! Can’t wait to try cutout cookies and pizza crust on this mat! I’m so glad I got out of measuring tape and looked at how big the mats would be before I purchased mine. They run quite large and if you have a small countertop you may want to pre-measure to see which ones appropriate for your needs.
Has inch and cm markings. Circle size ranges from 6″ to 14″ increasing in 1/2 inch increments. Has a chart with measurement equivalents tbsp, cups, oz., unfortunately no metric. Has candy thermometer temperature and for stages of cooking sugar.
I was looking for a large mat with grid for the entire surface as guide for cutting strips and planning designs. This was the only one in a larger size that I could find. I also like the thickness of the mat. Do not slip on quartz counter surface or stainless steel.
This does exactly what it says it’ll do. I can’t say I’ve used it in any scenario that requires heat. When cleaning it (since it is large) I find washing it by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher to work. Then, while it’s still wet, I just roll it up, stand it upright, and let dry out on my countertop dish rack.
I love this pastry mat. I never thought a product like this would be so handy but it is. Makes just about everything pastry related much easier and manageable. Clean up is a piece of cake. It has various measurement conversions on the mat itself and measurements for pans so you can shape your doughs to the perfect size. Lastly its oven safe so you can bake right on it.
The company is a UK company although I do not know where the mat is made. That being said, it is the best mat I have seen and used. A couple of times I forgot to put flour on it but not to worry the dough didn’t stick. Heavy but flexible enough to rinse it in the sink. It is oblong which makes it fit my counters better. The markings are a good color I can see, not raised, intricate enough to be detailed without being busy. I may be getting another for the motor home.
I purchased this mat to use to cover my countertop when making sourdough bread. I had been using two Silpats placed together to cover the surface I used, but it a less than spectacular solution. I kept running into the space between the two mats and the dough kept getting stuck. Enter this mat! It is wonderful. It’s nice and thick – and large enough to cover the area I need. It’s got conversion information and pie crust rolling guidelines printed on it. And best of all – for the high hydration sourdough breads that I make – the dough doesn’t stick. I only need to use a very little bit of flour to dust the mat – which is perfect. Try this mat – you will not regret it!
Perfect for rolling out dough. It was a little wider than my tiny oven though so if I had to trim it. I don’t recommend using it in lieu of a baking sheet because it is flexible and difficult to remove hot things from the oven. if you could put it on top of a baking sheet that is ideal
I use it as a base when rolling out sourdough, or making pasta. It’s nice and I just leave it down on my table because I use it so much. It’s easy to clean and durable though difficult to fit in my sink because of it’s size. No points off for that, you can buy smaller ones if that’s an issue. I wanted something massive for my big ol’ loaves of sourdough and this baby delivered! Grab yourself a bench scraper while you’re at it.
My husband bought a Kitzini 26″ x 16″ pastry mat for me. I just used it to make biscuits. Nothing to dislike about this mat. It surpasses anything I’ve ever used in my 55 years of cooking and baking. The biscuits all but made themselves! No need for a damp tea towel underneath to avoid slipping, no need for extra flour to avoid sticking. This mat is easy to use, easy clean, and easy to store. I love my Kitzini mat and highly…HIGHLY…recommend it!
Arrived folded as many said but no problem rolling up. No creases. Surface is very slick. Still getting used to removing cut dough from this sheet. Very large. It’s so big I can roll dough onto parchment paper for tarts if I have to. Easy to clean up as it’s a little stiffer than silpat. Too big for my dish rack. I hang from pot rack with clips.
This appears to be well made, but you cannot read any of the grids or charts unless it is on a solid white surface. I ordered 2 because I bake so often and luckily only opened one so that I can rerun it. So, if you’re ordering this for just a solid mat, it good, but, if you are looking forward to the grids and carts, this is not for you unless you have solid white counters.
So I bought the extra large…I recommend actually checking the space you need because it is huge! Hangs off the counter and doesn’t fit in my oven…however, that’s all my fault and not an issue with the product itself. It’s huge! Great to work with, cleans up nicely, and a great buffer between my bread and the counter-it never moves. Very happy with this, I mostly wanted it for counter work and it does great. Can’t speak to how it is in the oven, but I am happy with it for my counter!
I ordered this mat to make clean up easier. The mat is amazing! In the past I have just used the granite counter top and then dealt with scrubbing off dough. Now I simply roll out my mat, make my mess, an then wash it in the sink. It provides a great stable surface for dealing with dough and the measurements are handy too. I haven’t subjected it to heat yet, but so far it is a win!
It is one of my favorite things in the kitchen. I got the large one its just big enough for me to prepare anything baking related on it! No flour everywhere! It literally washes away debris with my kitchen faucet. I just used chocolate and the drips peeled right off So easy! I have a small kitchen and I hated having to clean my dining table twice. First preparing and second to get the flour off the table which often times was like glue. My kitchen counters were the same! Now i just lift and move it to my sinks swooosh! Iv not tested the heat temp on it but i have put a warm pot on it with no issues. It wont comfortably fit in my small oven but it wasnt why i bought it..
Wish the manufacturer would package this rolled up instead. I store it rolled up to not worsen the tear.
I have wanted a pastry mat for a long time. I looked in stores, but couldn’t find one. So I went to my trusty Amazon and was greeted with a plethora of choices. I chose this one because of the generous size, the pie crust sizes, how handy! and for the easy clean up. Gone are the years of sprinkling flour on the counter top and making a mess, plus the dough managing to stick anyway. Now it is so easy to roll out the dough and easy to clean up. Why didn’t I do this a long time ago? Duh.
The grid and circular markers are perfect for those working with any type of dough. It stays in place (does not slip) and keeps the kitchen counter clean (almost) while working. And it is big enough to fit almost any dough size. This is the reason we bought it and we are delighted. I am not sure on whether we are going to use this in the oven, because it is way too big for my oven (I would say for any home kitchen oven), and again, it was not the reason we bough it (we have several regular sized Sil pads for that) . Easy to use, folds great. We are happy with our purchase.
I like this mat. It has great measurements for rolling dough. It is large enough to roll most anything and place work items and keeps my counter clean. I like the non-slip material so it doesn’t move as you roll or knead. I have not used it to cook and probably will not. I use parchment for that. Washing is easy though a little bulky, but worth the effort. I got one for myself and one for my daughter. She likes it , too.
**Update! As stated above, I loved this pastry mat & used it for a few weeks before finding a small tear where it had been folded for shipping in a thin box. But after juset a few weeks of use, I find a small tear along the fold line made where it was folded for shipping! Since the first use, I have always rolled it up for storage. My suggestion is that the company should NOT fold them but package them rolled up in a small box similar to a tin foil box! Sorry Kitzini!! I think your packaging just ruined your otherwise wonderful product!
This is that product you never knew you really needed it but got it anyway; and now wouldn’t do without it. I got this on a whim since I have other silicone baking mats and figured why not try it. It was on sale. I figured it should help ensure a clean environment to roll out dough. Tried it with super sticky biscuit dough and it was great! I could use a dough scraper on it without and issue. Easy clean up. I like that I can put it in the dishwasher as well. It is big so that is a challenge but doable. The measuring lines are the most helpful. Many don’t come with them but this one does so easy to roll out a rectangle and measure at the same time. Easy to measure out equal portions of stuff too. Printing on conversion chart really can’t be read so not as helpful. It’s best to just look it up on your phone or use a separate conversion chart. Overall great. I would recommend it.
This is a wonderful tool. I love the way it lays so flat and doesn’t even try to curl. It’s a beautiful texture so the dough rolls out smoothly and lifts easily. It’s very easy to clean, I just leave it in place and wash it like it’s part of the countertop. Cleans and rolls up perfectly. I wish I’d had one of these forever! My daughter in law was here and commented on how nice this mat was, so I sent her one too. The ONLY thing, is I wish I’d found some little ties to keep it closed, didn’t want to use rubber bands so I settled for a clothespin on each end. When you take it out to use again, it lays flat immediately. Just a wonderful kitchen helper.!!
This mat was bought as my go to mat for my sourdough bread baking when I am moving on from the first rise in the bowl to the second rise in the loaf pan… As I scrape the dough ball onto the mat, It sticks to my tile counter top but my bread scraper glides over it with no catching or tearing. The circles denoting size are useful as I can then cut the dough ball into two equal size balls which then are put into my loaf pans…or just leave the dough ball on the mat and bake it as necessary. Its a very versatile product, well recommended.
I absolutely love this product and highly recommend it for all pastry bakers and anyone else that needs a workspace mat that won’t move around while you’re working! This mat is so easy to use and to clean, PLUS it easily folds up to be stored away using barely any space. It stays firmly in place while rolling out dough and the easy-to-read measuring guide printed on it makes it a breeze to roll out the perfect size dough every single time. Cleanup is a snap because you simply fold it up to keep your flour or other mess contained inside the mat then gently shake it off into the trash. Washing it just as easy and comes clean quickly by simply wiping it with a dishrag or soft sponge.
As I stated before, I am so impressed by this mat and its high-quality that I am buying this for each one of my daughters (and future daughters-in-love) as Christmas gifts this year! But not only is this mat fantastic for pastry bakers but it could also be used as a craft mat for both children and adults. The mat never slips, as some I’ve used in the past, but holds firmly in place making it great for protecting your table with little crafters. And with its large size, it would be perfect for finger-painting without the paints getting onto your table. I’m so impressed with this product that I’m getting a second one for myself to use in all my crafting projects! You can’t go wrong with this product! Absolutely amazing and durable!!! Five stars just isn’t enough! If I could give it more stars, I would!
EDITED TO ADD A WARNING!:
After 3 months of consistently using this mat, I was highly disappointed on Friday night to see that it has begun to tear along the crease in the middle of the mat. When the mat was shipped to me, it was folded into this neat, little square, which I loved. After each use and cleaning it, I would fold it back up and place it back on the top shelf of the under cabinet where I store my hand mixer, rolling pins, etc., but I always made sure that it was nowhere near anything sharp or that nothing was laid on top of it. And because it was so lightweight and compact it could be easily placed on its side.
My first mistake was not looking at others pictures and reading through the lower rated reviews, which I usually do. My second mistake was folding the mat up after each use, just like it was shipped to me, because I loved how convenient it was to store it like that. What I should have done was ROLLED the mat up and stored it that way instead because then I feel the chance of it ripping would have been less.
Because of this tear, I have lowered my rating to 4 stars. However, this mat is still amazing in my eyes and I will more than likely end up ordering a new one in the very near future. I’m truly disappointed that the tear has developed and hope the manufacturer will find a way to make it even stronger so as to lower the chance of this happening to others. Just be aware of this design flaw, please.
I had something similar years ago and it was stiff and kept sliding off my table. This mat stays on the table, is pliable, rolls up easily and I just love it. I don’t bake much as I avoid sugar and sweets but I do love to make Gluten Free Pot Pies…. that is a challenge working with gluten free dough. This mat made my life so easy. I made huge pot pies for Easter dinner and will continue to make them !!! You won’t regret buying this.
This is a new love of mine for the kitchen. The size is absolutely amazing and covers such a large space that makes it so easy to work on. It is a no skid mat so it makes it so easy to roll my dough and the sizing takes the guess work out of making things to a certain size.
I easily wash this mat as well as fold it up to put it in a kitchen drawer. My daughter who often bakes and does things in the kitchen was also very impressed with this mat. We fo have a smaller one but she said “there is no use for that one anymore” and that is the truth..
I can not say how much I love this product and it will now be my go to house warming gift for anyone that bakes.
I bought this mat for my daughter because she loves to bake and she is obsessed with learning to do things from scratch. This mat is huge, and the guidelines on it are so helpful in rolling out pastry. It rolls up to store in my pantry, but I do find it’s best to wrap a rubber band around it for it to hold. I haven’t put it in the dishwasher but it’s a fast hand-wash, quick to dry and put away. Best of all—no scrubbing the counters or wasting wax paper to avoid caked up flour on the counters. She loves it, and so do I.
Actually I was a little disappointed when I received this item. I expected the mat to be thicker than it was. I am not a cook nor had any desire to use the mat in the kitchen. I wanted the mat for my shop’s bench top to the catch glue dripping when I was joining different wood projects. This mat is perfect for my job intended!! The dried glue is easily cleaned up and protects my work bench. I am not disappointing in the least now that I have used it. Maybe other wood workers will find this mat a tool to add to their shop as well. …Frank
This pie mat is very flexible and feels heavy duty in comparison to other baking sheets. I say this because you can actually bake on this mat as well as prepare food on it. It takes all the guesswork out of making my pie crust the right size for my pie pan (see photo 1), clean up is a breeze, and it rolls up easily for storage. The single problem I’ve had with it is that the first time I used it, as I tried to lift my pie crust from the mat, about halfway through it stuck a bit and once it started to stick it wanted to keep sticking which tore my crust up some (see photos 2 & 3). I finally used a butter knife to loosen it as I lifted it the rest of the way off the mat and it worked great (see photo 4). The next time I used it, I started from the beginning loosening the crust with the knife as I lifted it and it worked perfectly. Most important, it’s so very easy to clean up. No more messy counter.
I was SO happy to get this mat! It’s BIG!
Our trial run was make your own pizza night.
We could roll out the dough balls to the sizes we wanted, which was really neat. Solid Red circles mark 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14″ sizes. Dotted black circles mark 7, 9, 11, and 13″ sizes
The dough came off the Mat easily, since we floured it well.
We also tested a baking sheet straight from the oven (350F) to the mat. It resisted the heat well, and was warm, but not hot to the touch when I lifted the hot baking sheet.
Cleaning was very easy. I peeled the mat from the table, shook the residual flour off, and wiped it down with a wet cloth.
Previously, we would roll out our dough on a cutting board and place a silicone hot pad underneath to stop it from sliding. We don’t have to do that again! The mat adhered to both our Formica countertop, and our concrete table top.
I could not test the mat in the oven since it’s way too big.
I love it, and would definitely recommend it.
