I bought this item in hopes of finding a non-stick mat that would act as an easier-to-clean-up work surface than just my bare countertop. The mat is certainly non-stick – even sticky pizza dough slides right off. However, the “non-slip” feature just isn’t true and the mat won’t stay flat. The mat comes rolled up in a tube which is nice for storage, but unfortunately the mat wants to roll up onto itself rather than lie flat as advertised. No amount of re-rolling would correct this. To use it, I had to weight mine at all four corners just to get it to stay flat on the counter. Even with it weighted, I was unable to knead or roll out dough on this mat without it sliding all over the place. Unfortunately, this product just doesn’t do what it says it will do and for me it is unusable. You are better off with an old-fashioned pastry frame/cloth.

The Magic Dough Mat that I received emitted a strong, unpleasant chemical odor that did not dissipate over time. I discarded the mat without using it.

I got tired of my dough sticking to my cutting board. This mat does work like magic. I made some crescent rolls last night. The dough was very soft. This didn’t stick at all to the mat. I can’t wait to try sugar cookie dough on it. I always have trouble with that dough. Thanks for a great product

The mat is wonderful for rolling out pastries, and I was surprised by the utility of the measuring circles that are printed on it. But I was seeking to replace a much heftier board, and for kneading stiff bread dough, the “non-slip” feature simply wasn’t up to the task. The lateral motion used in kneading overcame the friction between the underside of the mat and the wooden table it rests on. It didn’t go flying across the room, mind you, but it did have an annoying tendency to wander.
On the other hand, being able to roll the mat up and tuck it out of the way, rather than find room for a large board, has been a definite plus.

The size is great, and not easy to find. They usually sell the small ones. With this mat there is very little mess due to over-spill. I’m very happy with this one! It rolls up for storing but lies flat when taken out.It doesn’t slip on the counter. I’m getting one for every baker in my family!!!
