Does anyone know if the Silpat mats are worth the money? Seems like there are a lot of new brands available now that are less pricey.
I used them for cookies. Better to ask then assume

Katie has had hers for 20 years. That sounds pretty good to me.

Just as a clarification, my mats are NOT Silpat. They are a Teflon-like material that can be cut to shape/size and I love them.
I'd really like to get a silicone baking mat for my toaster oven tray, but all of them seem too big. My toaster oven tray is 8.75 x 10.25 and the one Silpat makes is 7-7/8” x 10-13/16". Looks like I'm going to have to cut the Silpat one a little or get a bigger tray.
Look back at what Katie H. posted. Her mats are made of a Teflon material. And they are cutable. Cutting a Silpat is not advisable. There is material in the middle that will be exposed and could burn.
I'm a little concerned about using teflon. Will check safety issues on food blogs.

Thanks Katie! Have you used them in the toaster oven? I see that some manufacturers make baking mats specifically for that purpose.

I use them for everything, but I need a bit of clarification about "using in a toaster oven." Do you mean to line the bottom to make clean-up easier for spills there or in pans used in the toaster oven
Any parchment paper that I've used has worked. It might get a bit brown around the edges, but no flambé! I currently have Reynolds pp, just looked and it says it's oven-safe. I ran out of my huge roll from Costco.
