Do I have to put this on a cookie sheet in order to bake? I am looking for a silicone cookie sheet to use by itself. Thanks.

It's rather flimsy to use without something more sturdy underneath it. I do use it on a cookie sheet but it should be able to withstand being placed on the rack.

I don't own one of these, but have owned silicone bakeware in the past, and have had mixed results with it. Silicone is a good insulator of heat, and so you'll likely need to increase the recipe temperature slightly (if it's still in the tolerable range of the material, which I believe is 450 for silicone bakeware, but don't quote me on that.) When you bake with it, like any silicone item, you'll want to place it on a cookie sheet, and use plenty of Baker's Joy or Pam with flour, or grease and flour, as this is NOT non stick by any means. Hope this helps!

Dear Natalie...I am sorry it took me so long to get this letter sent to you. I don't read my emails very often and just now found your question.I personally recommend putting the gingerbread house pan on a cookie sheet just in case it were to tip over while you were baking it. I don't have the instructions anymore so I don't know what the company that made the pan recommends. Let me know if that works for you. Good luck with your baking.

I have not tried to fold mine to use it to bake on as it doesn't really fold in half. Its made of silicone so is not really designed to be folded but it depends upon what you are baking you might not need to put it in a baking pan maybe just place it on a baking tray or similar.

I don't believe that is the way it was intended to be used. I have only used it in the regular oven on cookie sheets to bake items.

yes, this is used to bake macarons. The silicone does not influence the cooking time.

I did use it to bake some cakes. I followed the same baking instructions as I do for any mini cupcake silicone bake molds. Unfortunately the cakes didn't pop out very well due the type of batter I used. Unless it is an extremely dense cake or brownie batter it won't come out easily or have any real detail to it. I mostly use them for making chocolates and flan now.

No liner needed. This is 100% silicone. I think that adding a liner or cups would kind of defeat the reason for having silicone. It's a non-stick surface.

Since they're silicone, you should be able to bake in them. They would need support since they're quite flexible. Haven't tried it myself. Don't have any paper work to check cautions. Why don't you contact seller?

Yes I use this to make macarons. The silicone does seem to influence cooking time. I am new to using silicon and a new oven so I can't really say for sure which one I am having to adjust for. But when I make macarons on a cookie sheet with paper they don't take as long as the silicon.

I'm not sure what you problem might be. I have a convection oven and place my silicone mats on top of my double-layered cookie sheet. The only adjustment I've had to make is to cook the cookies 3-4 min longer than normal. My daughter has a standard oven and hasn't reported any problem with hers. I know that with my old oven I had to buy a thermometer for inside as the electrical power in our neighborhood fluctuated terribly...sometimes 175 degrees hotter and sometimes almost that amount under...

I put it on a cookie sheet. Not only does it make handling easier, but mine leaks so badly it keeps my oven clean.

Directly on an oven rack. Absolutely no need to use a cookie sheet my wife has baked many cakes, casseroles, etc. terrific product & the handles are a great added feature. Order one & enjoy!

I am not sure u know there is an oven out there with this type of baking but otherwise I am not sure sorry. But these baking sheets are great for cookies.

I have used these twice and they came out great! No need for a cookie sheet underneath. I used regular cupcake liners. Hope that helps!

I have had success putting the dough in an oven with the oven light on as a heat source. Of course many of the recipes require you to pre heat the oven for up to an hour before you start baking so you need a spare oven to do it my way. Feel free to laugh, but I have also put it in the trunk of my car, in the summer of course!

I have never used silicone for my cookie sheets; this product is like parchment paper - very thin and you can cut them to fit your pans. They are wonderful for cookies. I have cut one sheet to fit my round cake pans. You can use them over and over - just clean with soap and water. I love this product; I have ordered several times and given them as gifts. I have used some of them for over two years.
