Made of slippery silicone, the Exopat baking mat prevents cookies and pastries from sticking, eliminating the need for parchment paper, nonstick cooking surfaces, and the greasing of baking sheets. It measures 16-1/2 by 11-5/8 inches, wipes clean with a sponge, is heat- safe to 580 degrees F, can be used 2,000 to 3,000 times, and is an essential tool for an avid baker. --Fred Brack
Product Description
If you love to bake but are disheartened by cookies and pastries that burn and stick, you'll certainly appreciate this flexible, non-stick Exopat Baking Mat, often referred to as Silpat. Made in France, the mat promotes even browning without burning, and easy removal from the pan without sticking. To use, simply place the mat on your baking sheet ??? no greasing required. Place your cookies or pastries on top of the mat and bake in the oven as you normally would. After baking, simply remove the mat, shake it clean and store it away until next time. The mat is freezer safe and can withstand oven temperatures up to 580 degrees. Use it over and over - it's guaranteed to last up to 3,000 bakings.

 Matfer baking mat September 18, 2008
I love the baking mats. I would love more, but the person selling only had three and I gave two to my daughter. Definitely recommend the product and seller.
 Why does my smoke alarm keep going off? September 15, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just moved into a new apartment, and bought this for all my baking needs. It was great at first! Stuff really won't stick to this guy. It was a little difficult to get the brown spots that... some common ingredient in baked goods... causes off, but in general I was happy.
But every time I baked, even when nothing burned, my smoke detector would go off! At first, it was obvious to me that it was the electric oven; it was just too hot and I was used to gas.
But that didn't seem right. Everyone else can bake with an electric oven and keep the smoke alarm from going off! ...It must be the baking mat. Sure enough, it was. The next time I baked frozen Pilsbury cinnamon rolls (which sent the smoke detector into a high-pitched rage last time) with nothing but aluminum foil on my cookie sheet, everything was fine. Needless to say, I am disappointed.

The Matfer Exopat is great. Less expensive than some similar mats and it works great. Would buy again if needed. Hopefully I won't have too, unless I give it for gifts.
Not as nice as a Silpat. August 25, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have a Silpat and generally use it for making bread and other doughs. It really is a great nonstick working surface which helps me to use less flour. I don't use it for baking because I'm sensitive to many chemicals. I bought the Matfer for my daughter after reading reviews that claimed it was comparable to the Silpat (and was cheaper). The first thing I noticed was that it just didn't have the nice heft that the Silpat has, which I can just unroll and toss on the table and it lays immediately flat. This was thinner and curling a bit on the edges. Next, I noticed that it was dirty with some sort of greasy spots and the white edges were smudged. Could be cleaned off, but it does make you feel better for something intended as a cooking surface to arrive in clean condition. My daughter was moving and timewise a return didn't work out so we decided to test it out and see how it held up. It may turn out to be perfectly serviceable.
My recommendation would be that if you are very fond of your Silpat, as I am, stay with them. And maybe Matfer should take care that its products are sent out in clean condition.
Non stick is great, but I'll stick with parchment paper August 10, 2008
I used this mat to bake pig in a blanket. The bottom was still undercook whereas the top had turned brown. I used parchment paper and my bakery turned out perfect.
I will stick with parchment paper for my bakery and use this mat only for cooking meat.
