Is there any fiberglass in this product? Unknown to me when I purchased it, my current baking mat has fiberglass inside. Dangerous if cut or scratche

I can't say for sure. However, from all appearances it is silicone and no fiberglass. It is very flexible and soft. There is no indication of any mesh in it.

I would agree with the other answers to the question. There is no mesh in the mat. It appears to be pure silicon.

I cut mine in half (with scissors) to fit a toaster oven and bake bread and cookies directly on the wire shelves. The inner fabric, possibly fiberglass cloth, is completely embedded in silicone and there's no hint of fraying after perhaps a hundred uses. Trail lawyers have everyone spooked.... particularly product manufacturers.

can it be used as in a pizza oven? Where in a pizza oven or for what purpose do you in intend using it. To be on safe side I would say no!! If it was used and exceeded the temperatures it was designed for I would think that between the fiberglass and the chemicals given off would be toxic. No I would not use it around food!

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

Liner is like paper thin. I put my liner on the bottom of the oven which has the element beneath the pan so you cannot see it. I'm planning to just use my cookie sheet instead. We made a claim to the company, but they said they couldn't do anything about it. Please do not take a chance for the price. We think using a cookie sheet is a great idea; you wash it just once in a while.

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

Hello Tatiana, what do you mean like a sponge? Also what brand of fondant are you using, not all brands works with the mat.

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

You should font actually your tile manufacturer for that, but if you have a lot of scum you may need to clean it first. Every case is different. On fiberglass it is a dream to use.

You must be thinking of the Olfa mats, but I wouldn't expect to wash these with hot water to sanitize them. And if you're going to put food on them, you'll need to wash them. I've got the Silicon Pastry mat, but I don't cut on it. I use it to knead my bread on and roll out pastry. I absolutely love it, nothing sticks to it, it's easy to clean with hot soapy water and it's thin enough. I don't know how to advise you on cookie cutting, but you can use parchment. That is what I use for cookies specifically.

I did find this...Silpats and Exopats have a glass fibers (regionally called fiberglass or glass wool, but not candy floss) embedded in them for strength. The warning not to use them when scratched is because fiber glass does nothing good for a person when ingested, and a scratch may expose it. Some types of silicone based cookware do not have the fiberglass reinforcement, and so do not have the same issue. These are mostly the flexible baking dishes or muffin cups, but you should read the label information for the product you have.

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.

Best bet: put a standard 16"x11" silicone baking sheet on the top to insulate against the heat. Best price: "#1 Rated Reusable Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat / Liner" by Fugami for $11 Prime (you get two!).

I would not trust Sokoff on fiberglass. When I recently used Sokoff, I squirted it off my oven racks with a hose outside the house on a concrete patio surrounded by rocks. Sokoff did a poor job of cleaning my oven racks. I had used Sokoff years ago on oven racks in another house and it worked great at that time. It seems to me that the formula was changed. It is still caustic and could possibly harm or etch the finish on fiberglass.

I haven't used it a lot, but so far no sign of fiberglass. The Steiner web site says:"The unique CF™ fabrics are made of a revolutionary blend of high performance, non-flammable, carbon based fibers blended with durable Para-Aramid strengthening fibers. "No mention of fiberglass. Also, the fibers are extremely soft, so I have no reason to believe there is any fiberglass in it.

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.
