what is the recommended temperature for baking brerad using the mat?

There's a maximum temperature that has to be observed... maybe 400, maybe 450 degrees, but I didn't change the temperature for any of the items I've baked. I think I read something about using them on top of an insulated baking sheet wasn't recommended, but that's the kind that I have - didn't see any problem resulting from it. :-)

Like others have said.Don't change a thing.I did spare ribs last night. Clean up in no time.

You don't change anything, other than the fact that you don't have food stuck to your pans! That's the beauty of these things: easy cleanup, stick-free cooking, no changes. Just don't exceed the manufacturer's recommended maximum temp.

I don't change any temp settings using these mats for anything I do! They work great. I want to use them with my induction cooktop but haven't gotten any answers from Chico Chef if that works

I don't know about this particular brand, but the other silicone baking items I have are rated to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Convection Bake, Bake Steam and Bread settings have a Max temp of 450 degrees. Broil and Broil Steam settings have a Max Temp of 500 degrees. These specs are based on the user manual and I have not conducted my own tests to verify the accuracy.

I use mine for jelly and pumpkin rolls at 375 degrees and it works great. But haven't baked at 400 degree.

Set the temperature for whatever you're cooking. Parchment paper is meant for the oven.

My proofer sits on a granite countertop, and does not seem to overheat. I set it for 80 degrees for proofing bread and it is perfect. I do not make yogurt.

I typically pre-heat to between and leave at 485-505 degrees depending on the type of bread. Don't lower the temp after pre-heat! You'll have greater success with concentrated heat afforded by the cooking stone. Experiment! It's how we all learn!

Every silicone mat I've ever seen says not to use it above 425. The silicone starts to break down above that temperature. Parchment paper (at least the brands I've seen) isn't food safe above that temperature either.

Oh sure, no problem with that. I use mine at 400 degrees often for baking fish or chicken. They don't clean up as well as I had hoped so I sometime line with foil to save me some scrubbing. Non stick spray or butter works well also.

Helli Linda - Bakeware is safe up to 450 degrees. Do not use under the broiler. Cooling rack is safe to 350 degrees. Do not use under the broiler. Hope that helps. Mike.

I have also used this mat, but have not met such a situation. Maybe the mat is not dry when you bake with it.

I've only used mine in the oven to keep stuff warm. But ... silicone bakeware (like a loaf pan I use all the time) is suppose to be good up to at least 400 deg. if not more. Can't imagine that this one would be any different. Product description says 460 degrees.

I have used glass to cook in it. Usually brownies and baking at normal temps like 325-350. Brownies turn out great!!!

The paperwork that came witht the pan specifically says "it is not recommended to exceed a baking temperature of 450 degrees. Because USA pan bakeware conducts heat efficiently, we suggest monitoring the oven temperature and baking time for the first few uses and reduce time and temperature as necessary."

I don't have any official temp guidelines, but I regularly use this in a cast iron dutch oven when baking breads with oven temp of 450

I used them last night to make crayons and I set the oven to 250° C. Worked perfectly!

I made pizza and baguettes on silpat (not silpain) and it was great. No parchment, no stone. Needed temps are not 500-550 F, but rather 250-260 C = 480-500 F I believe. I preheat oven to 575 F. By the time I put the baguettes in and deal with the steam, opening the door twice, the temp goes down 100 F very fast and slowly gets back up to 500 F which is enough time for the baguettes (15min) and not much of a stretch for the mat (480F)
