Silicone baking mats are flexible, non-stick sheets made from food-grade silicone. They are designed to be placed on baking trays to provide a reusable surface for baking cookies, pastries, and other foods. These mats help prevent sticking, making it easier to remove baked goods without damaging them. Using silicone baking mats can also reduce the need for parchment paper or cooking sprays, making them an eco-friendly option. They are heat-resistant and can typically withstand temperatures up to 450°F (about 232°C). After use, they can be easily cleaned with soap and water or placed in the dishwasher.
