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!
Terrific Nonstick baking Sheet!
If you have ahousefull of Labrador Retrievers who seem to hang around the kitchen whenever someone is baking cookies, best to have several of these pans handy so no one grabs anything while you are letting them cool. As a born-again cookie enthusiast, I have found the features of these pans to be absolutelky essentiual for someone neither skilled nor intuitive enough (yet) to really know what i'm doing, and although i have some wonderful expertise wandering around the place, she usually only appears after I've screwed up to give me the usual learning expeerience for "next time" Anyway. these pans prevent cookies from sticking while baking with the specially treated surface coating, and they can also be used in roasters. Indeed, they eliminate the need for either parchment paper or nonstick cooking surfaces because they're made of slippery silicone; which is quite nice as it wipes clean with a sponge. I am told it is heat-safe to 580 degree F, and that it can be used 2,000 times or more before needing replacement. At that rate my friends the Labradors and I are going to have cookies every weekend for years to come! Enjoy!
This is a Keeper
You may have seen these sheets like these on cooking shows or at fancy stores under the Silpat name selling for huge sums of money and were discouraged. Well, let me end any confusion and tell you that these work the same way! They are like having permanent non-stick surfaces for baking, roasting, and even candy making. You may be a bit scared to put this plastic looking sheet into the oven at first, but don't worry, as your pie would be charred before it would ever melt.You may have been very frustrated by candy making in the past because the hot sugar would stick to anything that wasn't caked in non-stick spray. Fear no more, as this slippery wonder is a great working surface for kneading it while it's still hot or after it has cooled. If you want to keep it maleable for a longer period of time, set up a small heat lamp over the work surface. What about cookies? These shocked me with how well they cook. Needless to say, nothing sticks (I was even able to just pick it up and slide them onto a plate), but the surface also helped for even heating of the bottoms in our wonky oven that normally burns them. This was the most even browning I've ever seen, and required less effort than normal. It makes me much less nervous about putting baked goods into the oven. A bonus feature is that you can place this on a cookie sheet underneath a pie that might boil over in the over. This can save hours of cleanup for those messy pastries. Then comes the cleaning. All you do is rinse it with warm soapy water, as I've never seen anything actually stuck to it. It can tend to feel a bit slimy, but that's just the nature of the material. Storage is very convenient as well, as you can roll it up and even stick it in your silverware drawer! I really have no reason not to recommend this product. It saves time, is cheaper that less effective sprays, and is convenient. I wouldn't cook without one... or two.
