Has anyone had their Silpat mat orange rubber edge degrade? Never over 425 degrees.

not at all clear to me why Amazon forwarded this question to me, I guess Amazon's software can't apprehend that I only once used the mat and it was contaminated with clearly toxic chemicals.No, Silpat never sent me a new one after arranging for me to send in the contaminated one.

YES! After only 2 months of use. Never used above 425 in my toaster oven and always hand washed. NOT SAFE once it degrades due to fiberglass.

Mine has never degraded, but I haven't used it at that temp nor has it been used a great deal. I find that it is a good addition to the cookware.

I have a Silpat and only use it for pastry/cookies. After trying some recipes from the Bread Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum where she recommends a SilPAIN for bread, I purchased one through Amazon. Works really well, specifically for high temps.

I recently placed the entire pan in my 350º F oven with the blue silicone handle on it and it had no problem at all. The handle definitely heated up but it did not melt. I imagine the silicone is similar to that used in baking mats such as the Silpat brand which withstand high oven temps.

Hi M. J. I'm a 64 year old male and I use the Silicone Mat. Like you I need a replacement from a plastic mat, Yes it is more expensive but the benefit is worth the money. My wife also uses the Silicone mat for making pie crusts ware as I make a pastry that consists of Cream Cheese and Flour. This mat does not slip on the counter when you roll out your dough - a benefit from the plastic one we had.So for clean up soapy water - easy, and the mat folds up and doesn't loose shape for the next time you use it.I recommend this mat enjoy You can send me some cookies for the review Hi M.

Our winters in NY get pretty cold but rarely ever below 0. I have never had any problem with these mats getting brittle under any weather condition and they are great!

I have seen these mats reach between 83-87 degrees Fahrenheit. I used a thermostat should the product overshoot my desired temperature settings. Just being cautious.

I have not put down the mat yet, so I'm sorry I can't give you any information. It looks good, but I don't know how it will wear.

The "mat" is obviously cut from a giant roll... rather unprofessionally and jagged at that. The layers started to separate within months of purchase. Maybe it's because I live in Tucson and it can get really hot in the garage during the summer. I didn't replace it as I was so bummed out by the experience. I just don't see anything else on the internet that might work for me.

4+ years. Slight peeling of coating at a corner or two but not really visible. Full Midwest winters!

I've had mine since December and haven't had any issues. It seems pretty durable for me. It doesn't get sticky when it's warm, that's the beauty of fake leather! I say it's a pretty good deal! I've had two friends stay the night and use it as a bed so it's been put to good use!

No, I got mine exactly a year ago and it was fine. Still running great. All I can think of is you got old stock that has been sitting around long enough for the rubber to harden. I would send it back.

I made pizza and baguettes on silpat (not silpain) and it was great. No parchment, no stone. Needed temps are not 500-550 F, but rather 250-260 C = 480-500 F I believe. I preheat oven to 575 F. By the time I put the baguettes in and deal with the steam, opening the door twice, the temp goes down 100 F very fast and slowly gets back up to 500 F which is enough time for the baguettes (15min) and not much of a stretch for the mat (480F)

No problems with my black one. And I treat it rough. It is a good product in my mind. I have had it about 6 months. Willis Yule

I have the same issue with the Kikkerland owl mat. Don't know how to get it to stick. :(

Haven't used it around heat. Sorry but I doubt it would be a good idea. Soldering might not be a good idea on top of this mat. (Just my 2 cents)

No problems at all. It's stuck through hot and cold temps and hasn't dropped off once. I'm sorry you're having that problem with yours. Has Amazon offered to replace it?

I would agree with Matthew. The whole thing is practically covered in a plastic material, so it is mostly impervious to water splash or drips. The largest concern would be where the power cord attaches to the mat. Do not know if age and localized rapid temperature cooling from water contact could cause the material to become brittle and crack over time.
