Someone does. We were talking about this a while ago. I have a hard time getting used to the idea that a rubbery thing can be put in the oven.
So I am still refraining.

That was me, but IIRC, I was asking about the actual baking dishes. Now I'm curious about the baking sheets that you put on cookie sheets, in the cake pans, etc. It's good for up to 500 degrees. From what I've read, you use them in place of parchment paper. Supposedly the baked items bake more evenly. I use the non-stick foil when I bake.

Oh yeah, I did use one many years ago, but it got all brown and yucky. Totally forgot about that.
I do use parchment but it is only good up to 400 degrees, so a higher limit would be good.

Actually, parchment paper's fine up to 450 degrees. I've used it recently at 425 several times with no problem. And that's from Dollar Tree.

I hate silicone mats or bakeware. I don't like the texture of the finish they put on any edges/bottoms they touch.
I swear by parchment paper for baking.

To me, if it's dry cold like CO/NM, it's not cold just crispy and chill  I can't take the humid, damp cold where it feels like it sinks into your bones and you'll never get warm. Ugh. That's the kind of cold we have here. When my folks visited me once in October they couldn't believe how cold 40 degrees could be - it somehow got into dad's back and he had to stay in bed for a day and stepmom came down with a horrible cold. Meanwhile people here are walking around in flannel shirtsleeves and down vests, standing around in the rain chatting bareheaded lol. They were from Pennsylvania. Yet this doesn't bother me in the least - it really *is* what you're used to, because heat just really gets to me. I've used silicone to bake and they work great - not at home, we don't have any, but when I've stayed overseas. |

Has anyone here ever baked with silicon baking mats? Did you like them? I havent used the silicone ones, but I do like the copper ones. I picked them up at Menards in their "As Seen on TV" aisle. I think they were a set of 2 for around $10. I cut them to fit my baking sheets and they work really well. Easy to wash off when you're done.
These are the one's I bought, but I'm sure they were cheaper at Menards.

Ahh Menards. They were supposed to build a huge one by me 4 years ago, and then Covid hit. Nothing has been done since.
At least those are brownish. The one that I have is pink. But mine is about 15 years old, so perhaps they have been improved. Would save on parchment paper.
