Do you lay the sheets crosswise? With only 3 sheets per layer there are gaps in between noodles and at the edges.

I agree. Small gaps are not a big problem and you can limit the gaps on the edges by increasing the gaps in the middle. 1/4" gaps are not going to hurt the end result. Excuse my repeating myself, but the MOST important thing is to make sure you have some liquid on the top layer of noodles, even if you have to dilute the sauce a bid.

In a row side by side. Small gaps but it doesn't make a difference once it's baked.

Good idea. Very very carefully. These sheets are highly adhesive and difficult to make steady once the backing is off. If you took measurements of the book by each page, meaning front then back individually you could manage to cover the book. Meaning don't try to cover the whole outside at once. I think you could do this by one section at a time after you carefully cut the sheet with enough to wrap the laminate to the inside.Hope I was clear enough on that.

I have trimmed around the edges to make a better edge. I don't trim right up against the laminated object, but leave a little edge around it.

A regular lasagna recipe amounts will suffice. Instead of laying three lasagna noodles across in a single pan you will just lay one of the noodles in each slot, building your lasagna, in layers, as you go. Tip: if you take the time to make smaller amounts of three different sauces you can make three different lasagnas using just the one pan ...... Be creative ... And have fun!

I only have 3 sheets and use them all at the same time. One rack for each and it works out just fine.

We got two boxes of them, each with lots of noodle pouches therein.... Once we opened up the first box, we put the remaining pouches in the frig until we got to cooking them up. We still have a whole other box in pantry storage that has not been opened. So the jury is still out on this one I guess...

Hi. Its very simple. There should be three layers. You find the way you want to place it and tape the two edges and pull slowly as you press down on the taped end. My design came out very nice and neat. Google it and see if you can find a video on YouTube. Hope this helps! J. Collins

Mine came with instructions, and it is very specific that if they get cut (like with a utensil), they must be discarded. So I would assume that cutting in half would be a big no-no. They can be used over 400 degrees. Also cannot be put in the dishwasher, or even soaked in soapy. Just wipe them off with a soapy cloth or sponge then rinse. Store flat or rolled, never folded as this might crack the surface. I keep mine flat in a drawer under my dish towels. One note my sister told me, is that they will always feel and look like there is oil on the surface; this is normal. Just found this; I had wondered why you needed to avoid cutting. From Silpat website: "Do not cut the SILPAT as the fiberglass mesh particles might migrate into the food" Here is a link to the site; I learned quite a few things..... http://www.silpat.com/faq.html PS I would buy another pan. These things are great!

You must let it dry between layers, I have found if you let it dry naturally between apps it comes out smoother and is less likely to crack, I normally need 3 layers.

I've managed to throw it through three layers. The only issue is the second lamination sheet doesn't exactly stick to the previous sheet, so you know how you have to leave a border around the paper or whatever you're laminating so the sheets don't separate? You have to do that for each layer of laminate. so it could wind up looking bulky and have a really thick border. I hope that makes sense!

No boil noodles are a great convenience provided that you follow the recipe. As a general rule of thumb, you would want to put a layer of sauce below the first layer of noodles and some on top of the last layer of noodles. This helps the noodles become soft, without drying out while they cook. Wavy or straight they function the same. With the bakers edge pan, I have only found some of the gluten free noodles are narrow enough to fit into the dimensions of this pan.

I don't know as I only have one pan. It would be a lot off bother to put paper between them.

I've found that pulling it taut and cutting it 1 layer at a time helps but there are still some stragglers. I usually just cut it folded as is and rinse the ends so they don't end up in whatever I'm straining. :)

It sounds like you have a possibly defective product. The edges should be finished smoothly so you don't get cut or scraped! Hope this helps. Gina

I only bought two layers. I think if the third one is the same size, it could be stacked up.

I find the immediate edges don't seal. I usually run mine through twice but flipped upside down on the second pass. I use it for insurance cards, business card, nothing really important. It doesn't really bother me. Did you use the sheets that came with it? Maybe try a different brand of sheets.

Well, not done it so don't want to mislead you but I do not use these as extra layer, I just put them on top of the bare racks inside the over. We have baked cookies, roasted nuts and seeds, made kale chips, ... all only on these silicon sheets with no support other than the racks.
