is there fiberglass in this product because i am looking for something i can cut to fit into my counter infra oven?

i have not tried to cut into it.. but my guess would be no. Its pretty flimsy, which i like, makes the muffins pop right out...it might be small enough to fit, it fits in my counter top oven. You have to use a cookie sheet under it if you dont want your muffins all over the ground.

I'm not sure I really understand the question. I believe it is just soft (very floppy) silicone. I don't know of all the materials included. But I think fiberglass is more rigid, right? These are soft and floppy.

They are fairly pliable and soft and appear to be pure silicone so you should be able to cut them to size easily.

There is no fiberglass in the muffin pans. They are 100% Food Grade Silicone!

It sure can, that is if you want to put a woven fiberglass type material in a pizza oven.

I don't know if they are still making them with fiberglass, but the one I have is. What I did was wrapped the base with tape so my hand is never in contact with the material. This seems to work, as I have never had any problems.

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!

Thanks for the response. What type of material is the top ring? Could I cut and still be able to keep its functionality? Or is it something that would have to weld back together, etc?Sorry I just fiberglass. Thanks again.

Mine came with instructions, and it is very specific that if they get cut (like with a utensil), they must be discarded. So I would assume that cutting in half would be a big no-no. They can be used over 400 degrees. Also cannot be put in the dishwasher, or even soaked in soapy. Just wipe them off with a soapy cloth or sponge then rinse. Store flat or rolled, never folded as this might crack the surface. I keep mine flat in a drawer under my dish towels. One note my sister told me, is that they will always feel and look like there is oil on the surface; this is normal. Just found this; I had wondered why you needed to avoid cutting. From Silpat website: "Do not cut the SILPAT as the fiberglass mesh particles might migrate into the food" Here is a link to the site; I learned quite a few things..... http://www.silpat.com/faq.html PS I would buy another pan. These things are great!

I am curious about the same thing - this oven looks perfect for my family EXCEPT the non stick interior - PFOA is no joke people. Stay as far away from non stick as you can get. If I end up ordering this oven, it will only be if I find out the non stick does not contain perfluorocarbons. Look them up. They are bad news.

Yes to the apartment size oven. It's roughly 11x16. Don't know about BPA free. No mention on our paperwork. Says "pure food grade silicone and reinforced fiberglass mesh". Thanks.

probably kinda late not but there are pans from Nordic ware which are not too bad. I just bought some that by Chicago Metallic and they seem better than the nordic ware. For the pan the company sends with the unit, I would rather they reduced the price of the oven as the pan is about the worst you could get.

Sorry guys but the baking mats should never be cut. At their core is a fiber glass weave coated in silicone that should never be cut open and exposed to food. Hope this helps.Matt - StarPack Team

No, Absolutely not. You need a liquid epoxy or polyester resin specifically for fiberglass work. This is thick and filled with powdered steel.

Just don't do it. Even if it does not fray, if fiber-glass gets in your food that is not good. The reason the directions say "DO NOT cut..." is because eating fiber-glass is bad in all ways. Just keep searching for a smaller mat or a mat that does not contain fiber-glass weave.

Hi Gottaluvlabs, Please not trim the mat. Doing this will expose the fiberglass core which would make it unusable. The only solution is to have overhang, unfortunately. We are currently looking at adding new sizes so you can keep an eye out for that. Happy baking! BrightSpring

I am not sure if it is fiberglass or not but why would you even try cutting pizza on the mat.

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this is shatterproof since we utilize borosilicate glass. You can even take it from freezer to oven.Regards, Frego Customer Service
