Has anyone used this for baking? I'm thinking about making desserts with this.

I use it as a herbal extract for the cancer fighting ellagic acid that it contains. I fell it would be excellent and healthy for baking, also.

Yes, you can bake with it and it's great. It has a real chocolate taste. I make cookies with it and cakes as well. I also make hot chocolate with it and use it in my smoothie daily. Great product!

I think it to small to make a cake. I think it good for chocolate. I use it for making soap and lotion bar with no problem.

It cooked beautifully. However, do use something ovenproof to prop up against the ends as the silicone does bend freely. The first time I put it in the oven without doing so, one end bent and I had mix all over the oven. I also put it on a cookie sheet to help keep it sturdy. I used it to make a giant cupcake to put on top of my daughter's baby shower cake and it was awesome. I had previously made a liner by coating the bottom half with melted Witon candy melts. It was great.

I have not but I think it would melt just fine. I have used it to bake in place or regular sugar and it tastes great. I have also used it in coffee and iced tea, tasty yummy.

I have used it only as a pastry mat to roll out cookie dough. I personally did not like it and won't use it again. The dough stuck like glue. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

I have -- more than once! It worked beautifully. A part of using a pan like this well, I think, is knowing not only the properties of the pan, but the habits of your oven. I use a sort of tired electric stove, and instead of pre-heating oven and pan, I usually oil well, put a little extra flour in the pan before putting the dough in, and let the oven and pan slowly heat together. That means I do end up cooking the bread for, say, closer to 40 minutes than 30, but the results have been delicious. The lid does a good job of helping the crust balance crispness and moisture. One thing to note: the dome on the lid is rather flat, so if your risen dough (even after punching down) does a really BIG second rise while it's cooking, it is going to bump against the lid. The one time that happened to me, it just meant the top was a little indented rather than really round, which doesn't bother me. In any case, it's cooked evenly and tasted great every time I've done it. I'm about to cook a couple of loaves to take with me for the holidays, in fact. :)

I use it for cakes, muffins, pancakes, cookies, brownies, quick breads, etc. with great success. I do not like the results for yeasted breads or for pastry doughs (pie crust, etc.) very much though - I would stick to bread flour or all purpose flour for those.

I've tried baking with it a couple times without much success. In my opinion it doesn't give the proper sweet for baked goods.

Yes I've make bread with this product. I like it more for baking sweets, but it does work. Slightly dense for bread.

I have used it for breads, muffins and cookies. In those instances, the direct substitution worked fine. I'm not sure how it would work for pie crusts or pastries.

I only use it for cupcake Batter, but Im sure if the filling isn't too hot, it should be fine. There is a rubber ring around the opening at the bottom, so if it's too hot it might melt it. But there's only one way to find out for sure. : )

I have used it to make gluten free oatmeal cookies and they came out great. Even my cookie pro husband likes them. I also use it to make tapioca pudding and anything else that calls for sugar.

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.

Cooking with it is easy, I bake with it too but you have to make it sweeter than you want it, the sweetness kinda bakes out. I like to mix it with just a tiny bit of anther sweetener, it just seems to work better that way.

I have used it in making Oatmeal and in making Creammed Sweet Potato and I use it in making coffee, I would have to answer yes. I'm not much of a baker however I have used it in attempting to make bread. If you could ever get over my " Bread" and stop laughing I think you would agree it did taste good. You can stop laughing now.
