Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of World Cuisine Silicone Nonstick 16-3/8-by-11-5/8-Inch Baking Mat
Customer Review: Made in China
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm returning this because it's made in China. I have no problems with things made in China. I generally like Chinese-made goods but I'm not sure baking cookies on this silicone-thing in a 400 degree oven will keep my food safe. It's not just made of silicone. It's got filler ingredients. It's no surprise that the country of origin is not mentioned on Amazon or World Cuisine's website. I think I'll stick with the French-made Silpat sold for $20.Customer Review: No more sticking food!
Summary: 5 Stars
This cooking mat works great. I have used it on three of four different things without any of them sticking. I didn't notice a hot rubber smell when baking or a funny taste on the food. I did wash with soap once and when it was in the oven I could smell the soap when I opened the door I could also smell the soap on the food but couldn't taste it. After that I have just been rinsing and scrubbing with a paper towel. You may want to get more than one for different types of food. Not sure if it will hold up to 3000 uses but it seems like it will last long enough for the price.Customer Review: Not Made in France, but in China
Summary: 2 Stars
Sadly Amazon chose not to be forward about where this product was manufactured. Had I known that it was made in China I never would have purchased it either. There is a reason that a law is being contemplated that will require the statement of the country of origin. I wish Amazon would do this voluntarily. :(
I cannot recommend this item, as I would not allow anything in the kitchen that was made in China at the moment. There are too many news stories of products being toxic, poisonous and downright deadly. Hopefully, when China cleans up their act and the corruption within the state. Maybe then.
Customer Review: Perfect cookies Top and Bottom!
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't you hate it when your cookies burn on the bottom and are still doughy on the top? No more-thank goodness for this baking mat! I have baked two batches of cookies so far and let me tell you, I don't know how I lived without it. My cookies look perfect on the top and the bottom and I've had to check 'em many times to be sure they are actually done all the way through because I am so used to having them burn before I'd know they were actually done.
This is super easy to wash up as well and the instructions say to hand wash it and store it rolled up. So far, no problems. I will update after a few more uses. It says it is good for 3000 uses. I wish I could find a cookie sheet with a claim like that!
Customer Review: Perfect for rolling dough
Summary: 5 Stars
Sure, it's great for baking. Needs no grease and nothing sticks to it. But I like to use mine for rolling out bread and roll dough. When you make a soft dough, sometimes you have to use more flour than you'd like to get it to roll out and not stick. Not so if you use this mat. The stickiest dough pulls right off, even shortening rich pie crust dough. Let's say you melt chocolate almond bark to make candy. Mix in the nuts or crushed peppermint and pour it right on the mat. After cooling you can pop it off with your fingers. Excellent cooking invention.
