Silpats - are they worth the money?

Are silpats worth the money?

 

[Coco]

I've heard they are but I have yet to make the financial commitment to buy one myself! Also, because I do not do a lot of baking, although I'm sure it would be useful for other things. If you bake a lot of things on sheet pans I'm sure it would be worth it.

Yes they're worth it. They're also not that expensive - even some grocery stores are now carrying silplats.

 

[glitterchi]

Definitely!!!

I bought one last year, and I use mine all the time. I bake alot of cookies and they make turn out better (in my opinion) but they are also good for anything that would require a parchment lined sheet or greased sheet. They just slide right off. I am going to get another one .

I bought one, baked cookies and liked it so much that I went out and bought two more.

Hi Essie,

Glad to know they are worth the money - Maybe the will inspire me to bake?? :?

I have an Exopat mat, same as Silpat. It's great and I never bake cookies without it. I would also like to get some silicone muffin and cake molds too.

silplat

I have two and they are great, for everything, cookies, and bread.

My mom found me two in some magazine. They were like $11.00 for both of them and they work great.
Check out the Betty Crocker catalog they have them in there too. I have some points if you need them. Just let me know. For a SASE you can have them. :P

I had a silpat once. But it got out of its cage and I havent seen it since.

I found it once, when I was hunting Snipe. :roll:

Um...at the risk of exposing my ignorance...what is a silpat? And Sushi...LOL!

 

[kitchenelf]

I know you've seen them Alix - they are those rubbery sheets that you lay on cookie sheets so the cookies don't stick. Martha Stewart was one of the first I saw use them. They're normally a beige/tan color and some have a border a different color. Did that help?

 

[Alix]

That does help Kitchenelf...thank you. I have never seen them to buy around here though. I guess if I want to try them out I will have to find them online.

Thanks for the information Kitchenelf, and thanks for asking about it Alix--I had never heard of them.

We bought them and used them for a while; now we just pull off a piece of parchment paper like before we had them. It seemswe never think of them.
