Is this mat BPA free? Also, will it fit in a smaller "apartment size" oven?

Yes to the apartment size oven. It's roughly 11x16. Don't know about BPA free. No mention on our paperwork. Says "pure food grade silicone and reinforced fiberglass mesh". Thanks.

I don't know about it being BPA free, but I know for a fact that it will fit in a small apartment sized oven.

Hi Amanda, I can confirm that the silicone is BPA free and safe. Silicone is a natural substance that is formed by bonding silicon with oxygen. Silicon is an element that is abundant in sand and rock making up 28% of the earth's crust.I hope this helps but please do let me know if you have any further questions.Kind regards, BrightSpring

Yes, it will fit in a small sized oven (but not in a toaster oven). I don't know if it is BPA free, but I do know that we love it. It works perfectly.

I don't know about BPA but the seller should. The description will also include measurements. I have one that's 9X13 so I know they come in smaller sizes. hope this helps!

The mat is 16-1/2" x 11-1/2". Afraid I don't know the answer about BPA, try the website for BRIGHTSPRING BAKEWARE.

Do you mean from baking? I use the mat only for rolling / working on the dough. mine never goes into the oven.

I checked my oven, and while it is stamped TOB-80 the size does not correspond to the product description...my oven is approximately 10" x 14" x 8", and the interior is only 10" x 9" ! What can we do now, Amazon?

This mat is thick enough and is easy to trim to fit as directed. It is also easy to wipe clean. We placed it as directed on the lowest rack and it works fine. Hope this helps.

Not a problem. We have two of these and the dish rak fits perfectly and it will not ruin the mat.

I don't really know. I didn't keep mine because I was so disappointed with its performance. I doubt if you could put it in a self-cleaning oven because of the plastic handles.

I'm not sure because I had mine in convection oven. I ended up throwing it away. The way the convection oven cooks it ended up blowing the matt up off the oven floor which in turn sent food and liquids from the pan underneath the mat and making a mess in the oven anyway. Sorry I could not be more help.

I think the liner would be microwavable but I'm not sure about the oven, I wouldn't put my liner in the oven. Check with the Manufacture.

This mat is for use with a microwave not sure if it can even be used in a convection oven.

I don't have the packaging any more so I can't say if there were specification listed. Save actually measuring the mat, I would guess that it is 0.2 mm, because it's not flimsy but still thin enough for meats to take on grill marks when cooked on the mat.

Here's a description form another site:Features:Oven liner keeps the bottom of your oven clean.Made in the USA from a durable non-stick plastic.Oe long sheet can be cut to suit the size of your oven.For use in temperatures up to 315°C.Reusable and easily cleaned with dishwashing liquid and water. Great for the environment by eliminating oven self-cleaning cycles!Dimensions: 41 x 58.5cm.The temp limit was a surprise to me.

it's for the microwave (that's what I got it for to begin with). No way can it go in an oven! It has no problem in the dishwasher top rack.

Carolyn, I suspect I know why you are asking the question. According to my research, this product is made of PTFE, best known as the much debated Teflon. I really don't use my oven very much for baking food that I worry will cause spills; but I like to have this liner available for use when I do. I used to use aluminum foil and keep it in place; but in my oven, it seems to affect how some foods bake. This mat is easy enough to use just when I need it and it has no impact on my oven's performance. Hope this helps.

I got the smaller liner for my Cuisinart toaster oven. I put the liner on the floor of the oven, and it works fine. I read other reviews about the smells, impacting the reflective heat and catching fire, but I haven't had those problems. Haven't used it in a microwave oven.

No, worked perfectly. Do you have an oven thermometer? This mat is good for 480F and am wondering even if you set your oven for 425F it's really at a higher temperature.
