Review (5/5): Not only makes clean up easy, it also gives me better food.
If you haven't gotten a silicone baking mat yet, and you use your oven AT ALL, you should really get this!
It's incredibly easy to clean up. It doesn't matter whether it's those cookies that always stick to your favorite cookie sheet or a gooey cheesy mess, it really does simply wipe off.
Because it's so easy to clean, I was also able to get some of the best parts of one of my old standby recipes to come out. I like wrapping thin cut chicken breast around some kind of cheese and other fillings and baking it. The problem with this is that some of the cheese inevitably leaks out. Even on glass cookware, this is wasted food that I just can't get back in an edible form. With this mat? Nice crispy melted cheese fried in the oils that came out of the chicken breast. One of the tastiest parts of the dish, and a new favorite!
Cleaning up the dish above? I cooked it on a 1/4 sheet raised lip cookie sheet, with no prep other than putting the baking mat down. After pulling the food out, all it took to clean was an easy job wiping the mat off and then just basic washing to both the mat and the pan. While some of the juices from the chicken did get under the mat, NONE of the solids did and it was just simple to do.
The only downsize to this mat that I can find is it's size. I want a bigger one, because I don't want to keep using cooking sprays and parchment paper. It's perfectly sized for a 1/4 sheet baking sheet, but that's really what I consider a 'small' sheet unless I'm in the RV where my oven will only barely even fit this mat.
I received this product at a discount in exchange for my unbiased review.
I've been looking for reasons to use the oven for this
