Could I cut this down to fit a small frying pan?

I got mine out to read the instructions. It does not say anything about cutting or not cutting. It does have some fibers in it. But when I looked closely, I don't think it would hurt it. At first I thought cutting it would 'free' the fibers and it might unravel. But I'm not sure after looking closely. Read the rest of the answers. They had good points. Sorry I was not more helpful.

Silpat does not recommend due to a fiberglass mesh design that if cut may enter your food. here is the link. http://www.silpat.com/faq.html

I accidentally cut my silpat while slicing something on top of it. It certainly was still usable even though it was sliced. I'm not so sure its designed for use in a frying pan however. I've only used mine for baking purposes. I had my original one for at least 12-14 years, until I sliced it. I replaced it with another just like the original.

No! Buy the size you will need as cutting it would expose the tensile fibers inside which can be toxic if exposed or cut open. I believe these are only used for baking, anyway.

I think, but I haven't tried to do that, so I'm not 100% sure. I don't know if the red around the edge is just for ascetics or if it does something for the mat.

Sure. I have a smaller one that looks like a cut down version of the larger one.

Yes I think you should be able to cut it down. This item does make the water warm and too hot for us so after 2 days we stopped using it. this is a solar heater not a cover.

This would be too small for 10.5 inch pan unless you just wanted room on all four sides.

The cover will fit a 10.5" frying pan, but the lid is smaller than the rim so it sits about a 1/4" lower into the pan. Also the lid does not fit securely it is slightly off so you have to fit it in the pan the best that you can. Hope that this is the information that you are seeking.

Yes you can. You just need to lay the liner down on the bottom rack of the oven,you can cut it to your desired size if you like. It is very easy to clean. You can also see the instruction from the box.

Hi there yes you can use it for that but you might need to cut it in to smaller pieces .

Since there is no finished side to this item, I see no reason why you couldn't cut it. Can't you find a smaller size though? If you do cut it, mark it with a chalk line and then cut with a razor knife.

It can be cut down to any size you want. I had to cut mine down to 25 x 22 x 1 and it worked like a charm.

The actual cooking surface is just under 10" so this unit would not be appropriate for the size pot you are wanting to use. Andy

I did not try this! But it appears that you could cut it down to needed size! It is like a big sponge!

I don't know if it will work. I would cut it if I needed it smaller but I think I would use foil in a toaster oven. Remember there is a maximum heat.

I would think you could use it for that. The pan is sturdy and not lightweight and deep enough to fry without having the oil too close to the surface. Obviously not for a large batch. I will say I haven't tried it. Otherwise those who have used it for this purpose can probably answer more accurately.

It is not very deep (quarter inch maybe) so if you fry bacon on it use a splatter guard on top and if you are making a lot of bacon do it in batches while draining the fat from the pan in between batches.

Dear Mary, I think that you actually could cut off some of the pressed board, but it may loose it's integrity. Even if you turned the liner,it will not fit 10 1/2 inches without trimming an inch or so.

It should be big enough, after the ends are cut back I don't see why not. I use it for a cosmetic tray , so I can't say as to how it works in the kitchen and cooking wise.

Yes you can. It's really easy to cut down to size as well. It's only one cut.
