Can you cut pastry on it? For example, if I want to make crackers, could I cut the dough on the mat after rolling it out?

This is silicone so no sharp implements can be used on it as it will cut. A soft silicone palette knife is ideal.

Yes you can cut paste dough. However, I use a pastry cutter not a knife. I hope this helps.

You might be able to cut felt as long as you had a new sticky mat that would hold the material well. After you cut, I would imagine that the mat would not be worth keeping because of all the tiny fibers that would stick to it. Myself, I don't think I would try it. I really wish Cricut would create a product that would clean the mat from residue fibers (even from paper) so that they would last longer. Hope this helps.

I would say a pastry mat is for working your pastry dough on the counter and a baking mat is for placing on a sheet pan and baking in the oven, so you don't have your pastry stick to the pan and have more to clean. I use this mat just for rolling out dough on, not for baking.

Sorry, I've never use cookie cutters and/or pastry wheel on this mat. However, I've use small knife to cut my pastry. It's fine.

I haven't had any problems, but I use this mat for rolling dough/pastry only. I have separate SilPats for cooking. The only thing I try to be very careful with is using any sort of scraper on the mat. It would ruin it if the surface got scratched/cut up.

The pastry cloth is great for rolling most any dough. I keep mine floured and ready. Stored in an airtight container. I must use the pin cover with some very sticky dough. Works on every rolling pin I have. The dough is so sticky it sticks to every type of naked pin. Flour both pin and cloth and happy rolling.

Certainly. I do it all the time. You will need to flour it, of course. I make bread weekly, and I like this mat because it makes for easy clean up. After my bread is done, I just shake the floor off (I go outside and shake it onto the grass, good fertilizer) and wash the mat off. Same thing for rolling pie crust.

I've used mine only for baking. I'm not sure if it would be appropriate for rolling or not.

I never have done that, but if you were to make your pasta dough and roll it out really thin, I dont see why you couldn't roll the miner length wise across - the blades are spaced far enough apart that you could have a linguini thickness I'd think. This works SO well to mince herbs quickly - its honestly worth the cost just for that! If it works for pasta too, then thats a bonus :)

i would not use for pie dough-it is not wide enough. stick to your rolling pin!

No, you would need to cut the tip off with scissors yourself. But the top of the pastry bag is sort of slanted.

Most definitely. It's an excellent product that's perfect for rolling out dough, etc. Love it!

Yes you can, I did it sometimes but I used it more to make a flour for ma home made bread :-)

You can knead bread on this certainly or make pizza on it. But if you are making pizza on it and kneading pizza dough on it it will be getting covered with flour and bits of dough will stick to it and you do not want that. It needs to be clean and smooth and oiled.

When you use a floured pastry board you can roll thinner and make better cookies, pie dough, pizza or lefse. Love mine.

Yes, you could, but you could possibly scratch it that way. It has a really nice finish and is a sturdy table but not sure it could take repeated pie dough rollings without causing a lot of scratching to the surface. I've only used ours for eating purposes so far and it cleans up beautifully.

Hello! This product is for rolling out dough. You mix your own pie crust dough recipe, form into a flattened disk, place in the zippered pouch. I dust lightly with flour. Zip closed and using a rolling pin, roll out. Quick and perfectly formed pie dough every time! I rinse mine out after each use and let air dry. Hope this helps!
