Silicone baking mats prevent food from sticking to the pan in the oven. Since they do not require grease or oil to create a non-stick coating, food baked on a silicone has less fat, and unlike nonstick pans, you can use your baking mat in both the oven and microwave. (see reference 2) Repeated use, up to 3,000 times, contributes to the value of these baking mats. (see reference 2) Proper use and care of your silicone pad will ensure you get the most use from it.
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven up to 480 degrees F. (see reference 1)
2. Place the silicone baking mat onto a cookie or baking sheet with the writing facing up. (see reference 1)
3. Do not add grease, oil, or cooking spray to the surface of the baking mat. (see reference 1)
4. Place the food directly on top of the baking mat and cook as directed in the oven, but do not use it under the broiler, in the grill, or on the stove. (see reference 1)
5. Remove the cooked food from the baking mat and then shake off the excess food crumbs from the surface of the silicone mat. Do not cut on the mat or use sharp utensils to remove food. (see reference 1)
6. Hand wash the silicone baking mat with soap and water and wipe with a soft sponge. Avoid placing it into the dishwasher or using harsh cleaning products. Lay the mat flat to air dry and store in the same position. (see reference 1)
