i don't know if it is food safe if that is what you are asking. it is certainly tough and holds up to an exacto blade.

Absolutely, you can cut the mat to size. I ordered numerous of these mats and cut all but 2. Some I cut in about half, others I cut into 1/4s. I have used these mats to line numerous things I bake for which silicone mats are not used (lasagna, baked spaghetti, and any and every time I do not want a caramelized bottom to cookies, tarts, biscuits, turn-overs, calzone, etc. I would recommend cutting these mats using very sharp kitchen shears, or a new razor blade razor cutter or box cutter with a straight edge such as a metal yard stick. Best in to you. Bon Appetit!

Yes it will. I made a double heart cake using fondarific fondant and I had no issues at all. No sticking, no tearing, this mat is amazing. Just make sure you wash it first and rinse and dry it thoroughly prior to using it. Hope that helps (hth), God bless.

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.

No, you can't trim it--cutting it at all ruins the integrity of the mat. However, the mat is very flexible; in fact, it comes in a narrow box, rolled up like a tube. You can usually get it to fit well enough inside a baking sheet with sides. It won't tightly conform, but it hasn't been a problem for me.

Yes, but that doesn't show when your cutting into your dough or fondant. I hope this answers your question!

Yes, you can and I have done so myself. I have the 12x24 mat but have not used it. I have cut out a 6x4 photo &#128522;. Have fun exploring!

I don't think so. There is a molded "lip" around the four sides of mat. If you were to cut the edges to fit you would defeat the purpose of the mat which is to contain any liquid that might leak. Mine fit perfectly and looks beautiful. I would remora sure your area just to be sure. If you're just looking to cover an ugly base than go for it. Hope this helps.

You can't use the cutter on the cardboard mat. It will ruin the mat and it will dull the blade and may damage it.

I wouldn't. It is an excellent mat for rolling out dough and other items, but I would not cut on it. I have another rigid mat that I use for that purpose.

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.

The material that this mat is made from is a foam-type material and can be cut and still be workable. It does have a decorative rim a few inches from the edge, but cutting this will not make the mat fray or where it could not be used.

I haven't tried rolling out fondant, but I would guess that it would be fine. It's thick enough that i have no problem with any type of dough: pastry, pizza, or kneading bread dough. This pastry mat is really the best I've used.

I'm assuming you are talking about ceramic or porcelain tiles if so, the the answer is NO! You would have to use a ceramic tile saw or a score and snap saw. The Skil flooring saw could be used to cut laminate floor tiles.

It looks like you can very easily. Just be careful as the mat is very soft and springy. I would place the cut ends along the wall.

I only work with chilled cakes and I only use home made MMF and I always use 'The Mat'. I am a beginner but I can tell you that with the mat, my results with fondants are getting better and better. It allows me to get fondant super thin and it saves me from the pressure of having to work fast when rolling fondant.

Absolutely, especially if you have a rotary cutter and mat like is used for sewing. That is the kind of edge that comes from the manufacturer. It is a huge mat for rolling out cookies, dough, and pie crust, but could be used for any other purpose where a silicone mat is desirable. My counters are wide because of an overhang for a breakfast bar, so I love the oversize. But you could be very economical and cut smaller sizes from one big sheet easily. I would not think cutting with scissors would work well, however - use a rotary cutter and mat or find someone who has one. hope this helps you.Sharon Absolutely, especially if you have a rotary cutter and mat like is used for sewing.
