I bought this as a replacement to for a non-silicone pastry mat that ripped after 2 uses. It also had some weird PVC-like smell, which made us a bit nervous. The silicone is quite nice and it folds up and stores much more easily than the previous mat. While it is comforting to know that I could throw the mat right in the oven (up to 450F), we don’t own a baking sheet that is big enough to put it on. If you are a serious baker or happen to have a large baking sheet, the oven friendliness will be of much more value to you.
The only complaint I have (and the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars) is that the markings are not as numerous as on our previous mat. It would have been nice to see some cm markings (or at least some simple conversion printed on the mat). Our old mat also had the diameters marked for “9 inch pie” which was handy because you don’t really want a 9″ diameter crust when you are making a 9″ pie. Nevertheless, this the fact that it is silicone and much easier to store makes it a winner in my book. The price was also right so you can’t go wrong here.

I have been using this for a month and it works great. I mostly make cookies. Rolling out the dough is easy. I can take the whole thing to the sink no more cleaning and scraping the counter! I have been using a culinary cooking book that asks you to roll out the dough certain lengths so now I don’t have to go hunting for a ruler. Just watch out with sharp instruments – it will cut the material. Despite the 3 cuts I am still able to use it with no problem.

After buying an ultra disappointing Wilton rolling mat this is heaven! Clings great to my rolling surface, very sturdy/heavy compared to the Wilton, very easy to clean and store. Use almost no grease (for fondant) or flour for cookie or pie dough. Is plenty large for the frequent home baking I do. Can’t recommend enough!

Norpro Silicone Pastry mat This is a great mat. Soft and pliable, sticks to the surface without sliding around, folds up to a small size, and yet straightens out when you want it, cleans easily, you can even bake on it, though I haven’t tried that yet. The only thing I would say is that it could be just a little bigger, or I would give it 5 stars.
