Can I use knives to cut dough on this mat?

I've never tried to cut dough on the mat. I suppose it would depend on how vigorous you are. It seems pretty tough. I do use the scraper on it with no damage

Yes, you could, but it would score the mat. I would recommend using pastry knife, pizza cutter, or a butter knife; basically, any duller knife that will cut dough.

Absolutely not. The other day I used the back of a butter knife to very lightly cut my dough and it left marks on it. A sharp knife would leave deep lines and possibly even cut through the mat. Also in another review someone mentioned the lines leaving marks on any future dough - not a problem for ME but if you are a pro it would be.

The mat will not last very long if you cut dough with a sharp knife. If you simply divide the dough with a dull knife or scraper it will hold up.

I don't think so. You don't have to cut anything. Just remove the carpet and put this mats in.

Sure, plastic ones work fine.I've used metal ones,but only with soft dough that didn't require much pressure. I generally keep sharp tools away from the mat as I want it to last for a good long time.

That would make a huge mess but I guess you could do it. I used a large serrated knife and a metal straight edge. It's hard to cut precisely. The texture of the material is a little bit like a really firm cake. Due to the density you cant really compress it so cutting it with a power saw would be difficult. I did try my table saw and it clogged up the blade pretty quickly. If you want to use a power tool you might consider a carving knife, it works really well. Otherwise a serrated knife from your kitchen like a bread knife will do the trick

No, it comes with a chopping blade and a shredding, dicing, slicing plate blade. but you can do dough in it with the regular chopping blade that comes with it. The chopping blade chops, purees and mixes dough as well. Works great for pie crust doughs!

No, but it can used easily for cookie dough. It's sharp enough to cut through it. Great idea!

The mat is made of a rubber material so it can be cut, but I think cutting it will leave jagged, unfinished edges depending on which edge you choose to cut along.

Yes you can. On some cuts, thats the only way I could get a nice clean cut, as the stone was so soft. You can't beat the 'bang for your buck' you get with this saw. Used on two tiling jobs using granite and ceramic tile, and was very pleased with its performance.

I would always use a cutting mat with this to avoid hurting any surface under the fabric. I certainly think granite would hurt the cutting edge of this tool, but am not sure.

I have used it for bread, and yes it is OK. however, a pizza stone for both would be better and you do not need a mat.

Sure can! Lay your cookie dough in the middle, lay the top piece over it and start rolling it out. Take the top mat off, flip the bottom mat over and onto a cutting board; Remove the Mat from the cookie dough, then start cutting out your cookies. Do NOT cut cookies while the dough is still on the Matt. Have you seen the new MAT with the red trim and the measurements imprinted on it? Looks sharp.

I have never tried using the bags for that purpose and don't know if the dough would come through the 1/2 opening. I think the dough would probably be to thick. But you could also cut the bag opening larger to make it work.

No,Ive had to replace my mat because of all the cuts i made on it. I would not recommend cutting on it at all.

Rolls dough to various thickness and cuts various widths, not a mixer. Buy a Kitchen aid stand mixer with dough hook.

yes, use a sharp blade. I did trim one to use as part of a collage, but if you want to use the mat as intended (on a desk) it would be best to order a size that closes fits your dest, as the edges of the mat, if cut, could present a hazard.

Yes but you have to pull the blade on the cutter out a little further. If you don't it will cut through just far enough to leave a skim of paper which when you try to fix it mucks up the mat. This thing will cut a real nice mat but there is a learning curve and even thereafter it's easy to screw it up if you're not careful. Overall I am happy with it. It does the job and was affordable. Once you have a feel for how the blade has to be fiddled with its fine. If you pull the blade out to far it will overcut

Yes you can. But let it heat up first before putting your dough or pizza to prevent sticking.
