You can use a baking mat and parchment paper interchangeably in a variety of ways. Although both are great for baking or cooking, a baking mat is reusable and long-lasting, while parchment paper can only be used once or twice at a time. Baking mats are perfect for flat surfaces, whereas parchment paper can mold to fit in deeper pans like loaf pans. We break down the uses of baking mats versus parchment paper in the list below.

All of the Artisan models can withstand temperatures from -40°F to 480°F, making this yet another versatile option for baking, roasting, and freezing. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat and then either cut the fruit up into chunks or leave it whole (if smallpieces) and place the whole baking sheet in the freezer for a couple of hours. Kitzini’s mats are made with professional food grade silicone with a fiberglass core, making them another stellar option for ditching the parchment paper when making toffee, caramel, macarons, or crispy roasted potatoes.This type of mat was designed for multiple uses. Unlike parchment paper and aluminum foil, silicone mats do not need to be discarded after just one use. All the silicone baking mats were tested against a standardised criteria under controlled conditions in the olive test kitchen. Each mat was scored against the following criteria: Silpat products conform to United States regulations for food grade silicone. They are certified through the FDA and NSF (National Sanitation Foundation). They are also Kosher certified. The mats can withstand a wide range of temperatures, from -40°F to 480°F. So if you need to freeze something, or make a recipe that requires a hot temperature, Silpat can be used without any issues!

With a silicone baking mat, baked goods cook on the bottom at the same rate that they do on the top. Don’t waste – instead of using parchment paper or aluminum foil, a silicone mat can be used 3000 times with proper care & cleaning. An added bonus is that the bottoms get evenly browned, so there is no need to stir them during cooking. The same as the other brands, all of the Artisan mats are strong and flexible, with a woven fiberglass core that is completely encased by transparent silicone. Another idea is to lay out candy canes on a mat and then, while the mixture is still warm, wrap it around an upside down shot glass and form the soft peppermint into shape.Just pipe your egg whites into meringue shapes and bake them at a low temperature. They will be perfectly cooked on the bottom and the sides and you have far less likelihood of burning the bottoms. Deep frying in oil adds a ton of extra calories to potatoes, but oven fries are a cinch to make on the silicone mats. They crisp up well. You don’t need to add extra oil (or calories) and can use whatever type of seasoning you like.

They’re environmentally friendly, waste-free, long lasting, and make the need for spraying your baking surface with cooking oil or coating it with butter obsolete. It is easy to decorate your cakes to look totally professional. Just add some melted dark or white chocolate icing (or colored with edible gel) to an icing bag. Versatility: while there’s not much versatility to be had when it comes to a silicone baking mat, those that were able to go in the freezer, microwave and dishwasher scored a few extra points.
