How Commercial Baking Mats & Sheets Work

These clever kitchen essentials work by creating a reliable non-stick barrier between your dough and baking trays. Made from food-grade silicone or specially treated materials, they distribute heat evenly across your bakes while preventing sticking—no more scraping burnt pastry off trays! The silicone construction withstands temperatures from -40°C to 250°C, making them suitable for freezer-to-oven use. Many feature fiberglass reinforcement for stability and durability, creating a virtually indestructible baking surface that delivers consistent results batch after batch.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Baking Mats & Sheets

To maximise the lifespan of your baking mats, avoid using sharp utensils that could pierce the silicone surface. Always clean thoroughly between different products to prevent flavour transfer, especially with strong-flavoured items like garlic bread. For stubborn residue, a gentle soak in warm, soapy water works wonders. Store flat or rolled loosely—never folded—to prevent permanent creases that could affect performance over time.
