Topic: SILICONE ROLLING MAT

[Duke Ellington]

I thought I would give this item a try. I used it today and I am very pleased with it. I was sceptical but happy with it.

Nigella used one of those silcone baking tins on her shows the other week. She made a cheesecake in it.

Love silicone I've got bread "tins"trays ,rolling mats,sponge "tins" they're fab no greasing  :)
'Tho' roasting chickens etc makes them difficult to clean but I'd swap the tin variety anyday  :) :)

I got 2 silicone cooling dishes and I haven't used them yet. I was the same when we got our first duvet. Kept the blankets at the side of the bed just in case. ;D

I've started to use silicon for some cooking, and like the way it doesn't stick.
Saw this and went to Lidl's and bought one of their red silicon sheets. Very good value for money. Made some chocolate cookies (the sort that spread when they cook) and it was brilliant, thank you for the tip Duke.

Sorry, I may be a bit late, but I bought 3 silicone loaf tins from Lidl recently.  They're every bit as good as the other silicone loaf tins that I have, albeit a bit smaller.  I put 800g of dough into each one, rather than 850g for the larger ones.

She got some baking dishes from asda pack of two, cheap. Lighter to carry in the caravan, plus more room for my fishing tackle. Only one problem PINK! now I cannot do the washing up in the communial caravan park sinks. Shame ;D

I have one of their spring form cake tins, in silicone............Really good but the kids are fed up the cake now ;)

"Made some chocolate cookies (the sort that spread when they cook) and it was brilliant,"

So did you actually use the rolling mat to cook them on?  And if so, do you need to put a tin tray underneath them to stop them sinking between the bars of the oven shelf?

When I baked the cookies, I slid the silicone mat onto a baking tray and put them both in the over. When I first made the cookies, I used the mat to roll up the dough into a cylinder and put it into the fridge to chill well before cutting into rounds and baking.
