QUESTION What is a baking "mat" as compared to a metal baking sheet?
ANSWER Hello, many people enjoy this bake mat because of the convenience it offers; It is non-stick so you do not have to grease it and silicone is much easier to clean than a normal metal baking sheet.
Basically, it saves on prep and cleanup time.
The manufacturer says, “Food grade silicone over reinforced fiberglass to withstand temperatures up to 500° F (260° C). Naturally non-stick so no grease, fats, or oils are needed. Use smooth side for baking cookies, Danish, and pastries. Use smooth side for baking cookies, Danish, and pastries. Safe for use in oven, freezer, and microwave.”
I hope this helps. Thank you!
