Silicone Non-stick Healthy Cooking Baking Mat

I grew weary of frying bacon and then "cleaning the kitchen" afterward.This elevates food off the "sheet pan/baking sheet" (which I cover with foil just to make cleanup easier)and it does a great job. I've noticed 2 things in the "negative comments" which I'll address:"They smell when they're in the oven". Hmmmm. First, did you wash them thoroughly and dry them? Not knowingwho handled them, precautionarily I washed them prior to use. I placed them on a foil lined baking sheet and put themin the oven, at 400* without anything on them, to see how they "smelled". They smelled like new silicon for the first time in the oven.Next, I baked a full pound of bacon at 400*. Took about 20 minutes, but I DID have to flip the bacon over, no big deal for me there."They're so difficult to clean". Again, Hmmmmmm. I rinsed mine off under running hot water, then put them in a dishpan half filled with soapy water to soak for about 30 minutes, then took a stiff bristled brush to them, and besides "a few spots remaining", they looked likethey had never been used. And I cooked some "brown sugar maple bacon" and again, the cleaning wasn't a "chore" like some havecomplained about.I'd like to try some packaged frozen fries on this, and once I do, I'll update it with my findings. Overall, I'd recommend it for "oven cooking ofnormally fried foods"...........

When I first opened this, it had a strong chemical smell, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. I aired it out on my window sill and eventually it went away. As far as the function goes, it works great. I used this on a pan to make chicken and was pleasantly surprised to find how it browned on both sides. Clean up was so much easier too. Definitely worth purchasing.

These mats look odd but work very well. They roll up and fit in a small drawer.The meat being roasted sits atop the peaks of the pyramids while fat and grease drip down into the flats (use a pastry pan with sides to capture any grease that leaves the mat.The mats are reversible if you need to cook on the flat side.They can be put in the dishwasher and will withstand temperatures of at least 425 degrees.

I thought this was going to be a fantastic product that we would use frequently. However, we don't. The primary type of foods I expected to cook on the mat are the greasy type such as meats, especially chicken pieces as shown in the picture.I haven't tried baking rolls and such on it but would expect the firmness of the mat ridges would change the appearance of the rolls so all I can review is my experience with cooking meats.When meat drippings get down in the mat, it is no fun to clean. It takes a fair amount of attention to scrub completely clean to the point of deterring me from wanting to use it.My family is from the South and my kids grew up with me cooking a lot of fried chicken, French fries, fried fish and so forth... all of which I switched to cooking by baking on a lightly greased oven pan to cut down on excess oils in our diet. I had hoped this mat would help draw even more oils away from our food. A few weeks ago, we got a Black and Decker Air Fry appliance and I am so happy with it that most of things I would have cooked on this mat, I now cook in the Black and Decker Air Fry.I gave this silicone mat three stars because it is sturdy, well made, does what it claims to do but the fact that we rarely use it because clean up is a chore makes it just okay.

I bought this to bake my pepperoni rolls on. I was tired of the rolls sitting in the oils that always ooze out (no matter how nicely I close the edges). Although the dough expanded and filled in around the pointy bottom, it was better than the rolls sitting on the bottom of a flat baking sheet.I actually wish the baking mat were less flexible. It was pretty wiggly trying to maneuver it. It's impossible without a baking sheet under it. My biggest baking sheets don't have little sides on them and I was afraid that the oils oozing out of the rolls would spill over the baking sheet so I had to get creative with aluminum foil.I'm still giving it five stars (none of the above issues I had were the mat's fault). It performed perfectly in the oven, with absolutely no sticking. Clean up was also a breeze.

Can't be sure of this purchase. There's no free recipes if you don't have an Android device because the "free book" is not a book, but rather it is an app. People reviewing the app state it is only about a page long (I haven't seen it). I'm glad it was inexpensive, but it really looks like I'll just use it for protective padding rather than for cooking.

I've always hated cleaning a roasting rack and pan. Clean up with this is super easy. It tolerates up to 500 deg F temp, so can definitely take the heat. This is nice and big and completely covers the bottom and sides of my 11 x 16 x1 inch pan. I did sausage and bacon in the oven on it this morning, as I had a crowd, and hardly needed to clean the pan at all, only the very rim. This mat I just placed in the sink rinsed, ran a soapy brush over it quickly and rinsed. No real scrubbing or elbow grease needed. Also, one can put it in the dishwasher and it does well. Try it, I'm sure you'll love it.

this is great. chicken was crispy, like pan frying. I had trouble cleaning it, so I put it in the dishwasher and it came out very clean. I has used it for baking. the baked goods are crispy on the bottom, but not burnt.
