Is it safe to use if I trim this mat to make it fit into my baking pan (15 inch x 10 inch)?

No. I have read it is NOT safe to trim these as they have some kind of fiberglass in the middle of them.

Hi Lee: The silicone baking mat is manufactured with a silicone coating over a fiberglass core. The fiberglass is what allows cooking to the high temperatures evenly. The silicone is what makes it flexible and so that your baked and cooked items don't require oil and don't stick. This process is FDA approved. To cut the mat would destroy these properties. I hope this helps...Deb at HC Essentials.

Absolutely not. Any damage to the mat, it should be discarded, according to the manufacturer. Fire issue maybe? I'd just buy a new pan to fit the mat.

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

okay so i finally i went into the kitchen and dug out the lid (stored in the oven) it is 12" in diameter exactly sorry but it will be too small. you can use extra tin foil (not healthy) or put another pan on top of your 15" king sized pan.

Absolutely, especially if you have a rotary cutter and mat like is used for sewing. That is the kind of edge that comes from the manufacturer. It is a huge mat for rolling out cookies, dough, and pie crust, but could be used for any other purpose where a silicone mat is desirable. My counters are wide because of an overhang for a breakfast bar, so I love the oversize. But you could be very economical and cut smaller sizes from one big sheet easily. I would not think cutting with scissors would work well, however - use a rotary cutter and mat or find someone who has one. hope this helps you. Sharon

Im not worried about it. Its in between the layers of food grade silicone. All the other brands of non stip baking mats are made of the same thing. I love mine! They make baking and clean up so easy.

I bought this as a gift for my Friend. However, I do not have experience baking in this cake pan. My Friend says her cakes come out fine. If it were me, I would probably still cut out a piece of parchment paper the size of the bottom. In the old days with regular aluminum cake pans, people would cut a piece of wax paper and put it at the bottom. So, I don't know what else to tell you other than perhaps go back to the greasing pan and then flour method. I wouldn't grease it heavy though. I wish I could be more helpful.

16-1/4 (or 16-1/2) x 11 --- 1/2 baking sheet is the size that most individuals use. Commercial bakeries use the LARGE full size baking sheet. The mats will definitely fit the 1/2 size baking sheet. Good Luck

I cannot answer your question about using these in dehydrators but the manufacturer labels are clearly marked regarding the mats NOT be trimmed to fit differing sized pans, it will compromise the integrity and render them useless. I will say they work wonderfully in the oven, far superior to parchment paper or foil.

Yes, but there are some things to keep in mind. This mat is made if flexible silicone so there will be some slight sagging between the bars of your oven rack. Something relatively stable like a pizza would be unaffected, but more delicate items like macarons would be very affected. Also keep in mind that with a flexible sheet it might difficult to remove many items (like 24 cookies) before they have cooled for a bit.

I don't think so. There is a molded "lip" around the four sides of mat. If you were to cut the edges to fit you would defeat the purpose of the mat which is to contain any liquid that might leak. Mine fit perfectly and looks beautiful. I would remora sure your area just to be sure. If you're just looking to cover an ugly base than go for it. Hope this helps.

I use it with my microfiber mat. I would contact the seller directly about the question.

I love my Silpats and use them all the time. Mine fit exactly in my cookie sheet, but I would not expect any problems if they were to overhang a bit. I think having an overhang would be preferable to trimming them.

Yes that should work. It works like a regular baking pan. Check it at 15 to twenty minute intervals to ensure proper cook time.

I'm not sure it would fit because it is an exact fit and the liner would make the mat to big

Personally I would never consider cutting it. I don't know what it would do but I know they stress not to ever cut anything on it with a knife. I would recommend buying a perforated pan (the one with all the tiny holes). I think those pans truly are what these silicon mats are meant to be used with. Sil-Eco makes a perforated pan that has big enough measurements for these mats for about $15 on Amazon. I have a similar one I bought elsewhere and the holes makes for some nice even baking.

I don't recommend cutting this mat. A brick and mortar store like OD/OM sells a 17" width.
