Cleaning silicone baking mats


If you love baking, a silicone baking mat will be your best friend. It protects cookie and baking sheets from hard-to-remove stains and other spills.

The mats were designed in the 60s and combine fibreglass mesh and silicone coating that withstand extremely low and high temperatures.

Their interfacing, shoulder padding, and lining may be destroyed or deformed when washed so do not take the risk.
