Do these mat contain fiberglass? I'm asking this because Silpat Non-Stick Mats are made of fiberglass and silicone. Would this fit Bakers half Sheet?

No, this mat does not contain fiberglass. Yes it will fit in a half sheet pan.

Hi these mats are 100% made of BPA-free silicone and do not contain any fiberglass. The dimensions are 16 1/8 x 11 3/4 inches so yes they should fit a bakers half sheet.

I don't have silpats so I could not compare but they are nice. I can use them in a oven as well.

William Sonoma sells "real" parchment paper w/o silicone. I've been using it for a year now. It's like what they used 20 years ago. I often reuse a piece two or three times. Sold only online. Some silicone is natural occurring like sand, but I'd rather not have it on my food.

Yes, you can use silicone baking sheets with these, but it's definitely not necessary. They're GREAT just as they are - super non-stick and cookies just slide right off, never burned. These are the best baking sheets I've ever owned - love them!

This mat does not release food as well as Silpat mats. The mat is even less rigid than Silpat mats.

16-1/4 (or 16-1/2) x 11 --- 1/2 baking sheet is the size that most individuals use. Commercial bakeries use the LARGE full size baking sheet. The mats will definitely fit the 1/2 size baking sheet. Good Luck

Have not used regular Silpat for bread, but I definitely recommend Silpain, No problems with it & I get a nice crust on bottom of loaves.

I believe this is what you're looking for: Beyond Gourmet Unbleached Parchment Paper, 71-Square Foot RollOr you can use silicone liners, which I do most of the time. I just use parchment paper when it's more appropriate depending on what I'm baking.

Hi Edward, Thank you for your question. If by overlay you mean to fold them over we would not recommend this since the fiberglass weave (that helps distribute the heat) might be damaged. I am curiou what size is your baking mat that you would like to use our baking mats with? Thank you, Sam

I use the silpat EVERY time I use a baking sheet. Whatever you use your baking pan for, this makes it 'non-stick' and easy to clean up. Even when I am roasting chicken on a wire rack in the pan, I put the silpat in there to make it easier to clean up later (you still get some baked-on crud at the edge, but the center of the pan stays clean). From cookies to biscuits, if I am using the pan, I am using the silpat as a liner.

Hi Lee: The silicone baking mat is manufactured with a silicone coating over a fiberglass core. The fiberglass is what allows cooking to the high temperatures evenly. The silicone is what makes it flexible and so that your baked and cooked items don't require oil and don't stick. This process is FDA approved. To cut the mat would destroy these properties. I hope this helps...Deb at HC Essentials.

I have not tried using liners in pan, but as long as they fit, why not? It should work. Don't you just LOVE those silicone pans??? I do. Why oh why did I struggle so long??

It is flexible, definitely not metal. It is not silicon. I love the idea of the baking mat but when I received it I read that there are cautions about the material, I think there may be a toxic aspect to the material. I would be thrilled if it was silicon!

I have not had any issues with using my mat. I do not have the data on what they are made of, but I imagine this might be listed in the product details.

There's only one piece, but don't compare this to a roll or package of normal parchment paper. This product is something in between parchment paper and those expensive non-stick liners (like Silpat). It's a very thin woven material (much thinner than used in a Silpat liner) enveloped in a non-stick material. It feels much smoother than the rubbery surface of a Silpat. It's very strong and, with some care, should last a long time, much longer than a sheet of regular parchment paper.

Yes, yes, and no:) It is a special FDA approved food-grade silicone raw material, which is BPA FREE! No fiberglass so you can cut it to size if you want! Thanks for the great questions!
