Avg. Customer Review: 
 Doing without is not an option!
I'm a make-do cook. When I saw a well-known personality touting this stuff on her TV show, I just poh-poohed the notion. Then, at a pre-Christmas sale, I decided to try a sheet. Whoa! What a wonder! I promptly bought a second sheet, and I would never try to bake cookies again without one. The savings in time (1-2 min per sheet), headaches (cutting parchment to size every time and then running out), and clean-up (nothing - I say again NOTHING - sticks to this stuff) make it worth every penny!
A handier kitchen tool you'll never find
We've all seen the Silpat sheets on TV and in the stores, but I had never heard of a Matfer Exopat before. I had asked somebody once for a Silpat and I received this instead. Later I got a Silpat to try out and almost immediately stopped using it in favor of my original Exopat.The texture and consistency of the surface is exactly like the Silpat and it can be used for the same purposes. You can bake everything from biscuits to little cakes on this and nothing ever sticks! I actually cooked a batch of cookies that stuck to the Silpat and was a pain to clean off, but I cooked the same batch later on the Exopat and they slid right off the mat without leaving a trace. I place the mat directly into the oven at sometimes up to 500 degrees and it comes out and cools without any harmful effects--some of my metal pans can't even handle those temperatures! I never have to use cooking sprays anymore and my food comes out delicious and never oily as a result. As for cleaning, I only need to run it under the faucet for a second or wipe away some crumbs with a towel and I'm ready to store the mat or cook some more. It holds heat very well for such a thin sheet and I have actually overcooked rolls one time because I left them on the mat and they kept cooking! If I want to keep something really warm for a while, I can even lay the warm mat in with the lining of a basket and cover the food--it will stay warm as long as I need it to. If you are impressed with what you see of the Silpat on TV, you should give the Matfer Exopat a try--it's cheaper and works just as well if not better. You'll never see baking the same way again.
The Best For Cut Out Cookies
If you're into making decorated cookies, don't even think of trying without several of these and some 12" x 18" jelly roll pans. The Exopat fits the pans perfectly. In fact, you can even roll out your dough directly onto the mat and cut on it, peel away the excess dough and put it on the pan and bake it. How's that for saving time? (Although I personally recommend putting your cut cookies - on the mat - into the fridge or freezer for a few minutes before baking. It keeps them from spreading). The only way cookies will burn on these is if you leave them in too long. In other words, these make baking as foolproof as possible. If there are cookies you avoided making before because they burned too easily, try 'em again with the Exopat. You'll amaze yourself. I've been faithfully using these for over two years. They are as good as new.
