Product Description
This unique mat is composed of fiberglass and is coated on both sides with non stick silicone, allowing for the dough to be rolled out effortlessly. The World Cuisine silicone ski-resistant counter pastry mat is ideal for kneading, beating and rolling dough or working with sugar and chocolate. This mat can withstand extreme temperature ranges, however it is not designed to be a baking mat and should never be folded or cut in order to fit in a conventional oven…. More >>
I am concerned that it is made of fiberglass with a thin coating of silicone.
Fiberglass is considered a health hazzard and once inside the body, it can’t be removed. It says not to cut it (good idea since the fiberglass is in the middle) however, cutting up dough, a slip of the knife….
I don’t know, it just seems crazy to use fiberglass for food preparation.
Just my .02 cents
BTW I had to give it a star just to leave a comment. I don’t have this item and have no intention of getting it.

I have used this mat a few times and am very happy with it. It stayed in place on the countertop while, along with flour, did a nice job of letting the dough be worked and yet not stick to it. It cleaned up easily and was an excellent purchase.

Works well. I roll it up with Velcro strap for storage. It is large so you need space for it when using.

This mat is just the right size for those medium/large pastry projects. It adheres nicely to the counter top and requires much less flour dusting than most surfaces. Dough rolls out easily and comes off the mat with very little effort. (Of course you must maintain a light coat of flour or the dough will stick.) Clean up is easy and the mat dries quickly and rolls up for easy storage.

I love this mat! It is the perfect size for my countertop AND it doesn’t move around when I roll things out. Great size for rolling out cookies, pie crusts, pasta and bread dough. Easy to wash and store. Don’t hesitate to purchase this baking essential.
