I am new to baking and want to know if I can use this to make cake rolls? Does this work?

Yes. A pan is a pan and a plate is a plate. It is simply a vehicle to perform a task. Mind that the pan I got is 13x18...that would be a huge cake roll. Specific to cake rolls: USE paper (parchment paper, sprayed with cooking spray) to ensure the cake isn't going to stick to the pan when you want to roll it/remove it. It is a nice cake-hammock for moving the cake after it has baked. I recommend the silicone sheet to accompany the bakers sheet for other baked goodies. It will keep the bottom of your baked yum-yums light (more even baking on ALL sides, bottom included).

Yes I believe you can. My mother used to make them in this type of pan. I would suggest you line the pan with wax paper or parchment paper.

No you cannot use this for rolling out anything, It is made of cloth and is designed to proof rising breads. It would stick for one thing and as the other responder said, it wouldn't be secure to the counter. You can find many different pastry matts on Amazon.com, they also have non slip pastry helpers, but don't try the silicone baking sheet as it's exactly to be used for baking and keeping baked goods from sticking.

I don't see why not. I haven't tried those kinds of dough but I would think as long as you can get it through the rollers it will put out a nice flat sheet of dough.

Yes. Its great for cake batters. I use the white bowl for cake batters and the stainless steel for dough

I believe it might be a good thing to use for fondant. I haven't rolled that out, but I have pizza dough on an uneven surface with no problems.

This is a great recipe for rolls: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/RecipeDisplay?RID=R224 There is another recipe just like this one on that site, also. I use my food processor all the time for this. You make the dough then let it sit in the fridge all week! I also use it for pizza dough.

This pan makes a single layer cake for a jelly roll style cake. It would make a relatively thin single layer birthday cake. I usually make those in a 13 x 9 x 2". Having said that, you can easily make and store a cake in this pan. You could even decorate it and have room under the lid, just don't go too close to the edge. Good luck!

I use it to make regular yeast bread and also many misc. kinds of pound cakes etc.I have had no problems at all. Love the size. : )

I haven't tried using for baking. Up close, I wouldn't risk it (not sure if it can with-stand the heat). Perhaps you can try using it for pre-baking moulding...

I wouldn't think it would work well for cake. They are pretty small. I used them to mold chocolate and some of the detail on the molds did not turn out. It suited my purpose but I think it would be hard to get the cake batter to keep the details.

Probably. I have used it for baked and frozen treats. I'd recommend making one or two at first to make sure they will pop out intact. You may need to let them set longer than instructions indicate due to the small surface are exposed to the air to allow for complete drying. I have to bake all treats about twice as long as the recipe indicates or the bottoms are still moist.

I have used it only as a pastry mat to roll out cookie dough. I personally did not like it and won't use it again. The dough stuck like glue. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

it can be used for pastry flour but I use it mainly for cake baking because in is a much finer flour than all purpose flour. Therefore cakes are lighter in texture when baking.

I use it in a smaller cake pan. It's an unusual size but I have two for when I need to cover a larger cookie sheet. This works for me but it's not for most people.

Not sure about cookie dough, but I use this for cake batter and it was fine. The lowest setting is extraordinarily powerful, so I mix the dry and wet mixes together with a spatula a bit before I use this product, because the dry mix might go flying up if your mixing bowl isn't big enough.

I found that it can be used for baking cookies, muffins, tarts, lasagna, and brownies just fine. I have not tried cakes. The size though can be an issue and its best not to have a pan that "just fits" or the edges of the pan don't cook as well as the center. It is trial and error to find the right temperature sometimes but its like that with conventional ovens too. In general, I would say that yes it works for conventional baking as long as you decrease the size appropriately for the size of the oven.
