I purchased the R&M silicone pastry mat. Can I place the cookies I bake on it to cool?

I do not cool my cookies on the silicone mat but it is silicone after all so maybe you could.---I just feel like it serves the purpose for preparing dough and that's all that I use it for. cookies will cool faster if you put them on a wire rack or plate

Not recommended, they will sweat and get soft. Ideally they should go on a rack where the air can flow around them while they cool off. Hope that helps!! =)

I take the cookies off the mat because the mat stays hot. It takes on the temperature of the oven so I always leave my cookies on the cookie sheet with the mat for a minute or so once I take them out of the oven but then transfer them to a cooling rack. I take the mat off the cookie sheet so that it cools to room temp before I use it for another batch of cookies. I also use a new cool cookie sheet.

I don't think so, I am not even sure what you mean by an "oven liner." You are not supposed to put the silpat in the over until it has come up to its full temperature...it tells you not to heat up the over with the silpat in the over. Hope that helps

No. You can NOT put it the oven, it is for rolling your dough. It is rubbery on the backside so it doesn't slide around on the counter and smooth on the front side so your dough doesn't stick much. Very similar to my old Tupperware one I had for 20+ yrs.

Hi Gottaluvlabs,Please not trim the mat. Doing this will expose the fiberglass core which would make it unusable. The only solution is to have overhang, unfortunately. We are currently looking at adding new sizes so you can keep an eye out for that.Happy baking!BrightSpring

I kept the original container/wrapper so I just went and read it. Yes, you can. Here's what it says: This is made of food grade silicone and is great to bake on also. Withstands temperatures to 450 degrees. I have never used it this way. There is also a web address for the company on the packaging if you need further information: www.atecousa.com I also use a lot of parchment paper in my baking but cut the cost down to nil when I found several restaurant supply companies on line that sell bulk huge sheets of like 500. I can cut 4 sheets out of one to fit large cookie sheets. Even split the order with my daughter and I think we both will be set for life with the quantity we both now have for a real good price! Hope this was all helpful to you.

A good question. I have used the mesh for heating frozen pies. - Works great but the pastry takes the form of the mesh where there is contact. If the meatloaf or chicken fried steak is soft, then the contact area with the mesh will have some anchoring but is easily removed and will mot damage the mesh. Place a dripping pan on the bottom shelf of the oven

I would bet you can although I used the liner on the bottom of the oven. It does work as a cookie sheet liner too.

No. I have several brands of silicone baking mats besides this one, and the directions always say that they can't be used under broiler, on grill, on stovetop, or directly on oven bottom.

I've never tried to do this on this pad. I love the pad for baking cookies so buy it and try it and if it doesn't work for that situation it works great for cookies. Also use it for underneath baking a pie so the drippings catch on the silpat and this makes for an easy clean up.

Hello,Yes - I agree with the previous answer as well but make sure that you get a good imprint to do so and that you refrigerate your cookies before you bake them. That way the cookie will hold its shape better - I also bake my sugar cookies at a little higher temperature to avoid distortion of the imprint (355 to 360 in a convection oven - not as high in a regular oven). I loved this type of cutter the best! Similar to the Star Wars imprint cookie cutters. I hope this helps - enjoy!

you could try putting it on a cookie/sheet pan with rack and some water in the bottom?

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.

I do not have an Artisan mat, only a silpat. Mine does not have tiny holes in it. I bake everything I can on it and pop it on the top shelf of my dishwasher. Because I like my chicken, pork, and fish crispy, I brown and then bake on low oven to finish. Cookies turn out perfect, unlike days in past where they were a little browner or burnt where I could taste it. LOVE MY SILPAT and have bought for all my family members along with nice cookie sheet and cookies as gift for Christmas.

I'm not sure why you'd want to, as these mats are for baking. Dough: yes. Hot glue gun: not so much.

Use the liners as a pan and stand on a cookie sheet. I bought a pan as well and much preferred the pan to the liners. Did not cook evenly in the liner but was wonderful in the pan.

I would do like Alice Hager said, make sure that the cookie press is screwed tightly together, the dough is at room temperature. Use the recipe included with the press, I did and it made cookie very easily.
