Can I use this as a Pastry mat for rolling out dough ? I don't want to bake with it but silicone pastry mats are so much more money

That is exactly what I was going to try out this week! I'll let you know how it turns out

Yes, you can use this on which to roll out your dough for pastries. This was a trick I never knew I could do but picked up from another cooking website. Works well!

I haven't tried using it in that manner but it should work well. You may want to avoid cutting on this mat since it cuts easily.

I don't see why not, but its not very wide. If you were to use it to roll a pie crust, you might go over the edge.

You can if it is for a pie or something small, it just is not advisable to cut on it.

I just made an apple pie and tried rolling out the crust on the mat. I would NOT recommend doing it. Actually, the dough stuck to the mat and I needed to flour the mat and then roll it out. I do have two silicone mats, one is the Wilton 14-1/2 x 9-1/2, the other is Cuissential 15" x 11". I used the Cuissential. I don't think there would have been much difference (if any) had I used the Wilton since when I bake cokies, both mats react the same. In the end, I would up flouring my countertop and rolling the dough out there. The positive was that I wasn't restricted in the size that I could roll the dough out to.

this product is designed for use as a mat for cutting paper or plastic with a razor knife. The grid lines do wear off overtime and may transfer to your fondant. 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.

You could but I would not recommend it, this is more for pastry and dough then it is for cutting.

I haven't used it for something like that, although I don't know why you couldn't. I've mainly used mine for pie crust and biscuits. I love it. Give it a try for you red velvet or pumpkin cake roll. I think it would probably work pretty good. Good luck.

I mainly use this rolling pin for fondant, I did try to roll pie crust out once with this pin and I wasn't happy. For pie crust I personally prefer a wood rolling pin. After using this Norpro rolling pin for several months I have to say that I'm not impressed and will be looking into purchasing a different one soon.

I've never tried it myself, but I don't see why you couldn't. I just used it this morning to roll out a pie crust. Keeps the mess contained and gives you a reference of how big to make it.

Silpat can be used as an oven liner but it is not meant to be. Silpat is great as a liner for baking pans because nothing sticks to it, Think of Silpat like reusable parchment paper on steroids. For an oven liner try the Spillmat.

Sure, just be sure to flour the mat beforehand as well as the cookie cutters and then proceed. This mat is very durable and great for pie crusts, biscuits, cookies and more.

I don't see why not. I haven't used it for anything besides dough, but it works well for mooshing stuff.

This is a silicone mat, so it can be used for either purpose. Personally, I wouldn't use it for baking - I have separate mats for that purpose. With the measurements, this one is primarily for use making pastry. I've found it really useful in that regard. But again, to me, the primary function of this is as a pastry mat.

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.

I believe it might be a good thing to use for fondant. I haven't rolled that out, but I have pizza dough on an uneven surface with no problems.

I believe you could probably use both items on the pastry mat. I have not done so yet, butI am a baker and your cutters and pastry wheel are essentially just cutting through the dough. Just don't exert any more pressure on the mat than is necessary.

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