Can i use a non-stick spray on the mat to make sure the cookies don't stick? Will this ruin the cookies?

you don't need to spray anything , silicone pan is non-stick . Cookies won't sick .

I didn't end up keeping mine, but I always use Crisco when I am baking. Not the spray...the spray seems to leave a film on all of my baking dishes.

I do not cool my cookies on the silicone mat but it is silicone after all so maybe you could.---I just feel like it serves the purpose for preparing dough and that's all that I use it for. cookies will cool faster if you put them on a wire rack or plate

Sharon:There should be no need to use cooking spray on the pans. Use butter, perhaps. You should also check the website and try to find the exact pan you have. they have the most up-to-date information. If you can't find the answer yourself, I'd invest the time to give the customer service number a call. If you still have the wrappers around the pans, read this carefully. A lot of information is spelled out regarding use and proper care. I hope this helps. If not, please ask again.All the best!Helen

Never use cooking sprays on things like this. The area in which the item is being cooked will be fine but if the spray sits on a hot area with nothing cooking there, coking will occur. This is the build-up of which people speak. I leaner this using pizza baking sheets. I would spray the sheet and cook the pizza. The pan surface under the pizza would be fine while the area around the pizza wold be all sticky and nearly impossible to clean. I have since gotten over the stupidity of cooking a frozen pizza on a pan and now cook it directly on the rack as it should be. We live and learn.

Hi Laura, This nonstick baking mat works with temperatures between -40 F to 480 F. Because the mat is nonstick, it is extremely easy to clean. Many times, you will find that simply wiping it down with a paper towel is sufficient. Otherwise, just wipe it down with a soapy sponge and rinse the mat with warm water.

I've used olive oil spray and never had any issues with the food baking. Clean up is easy and the pan still looks great.

No, I just spray it with a little cooking spray and have had no problems at all! I live these pans!

I take the cookies off the mat because the mat stays hot. It takes on the temperature of the oven so I always leave my cookies on the cookie sheet with the mat for a minute or so once I take them out of the oven but then transfer them to a cooling rack. I take the mat off the cookie sheet so that it cools to room temp before I use it for another batch of cookies. I also use a new cool cookie sheet.

I would not recommend it...you don't want any grease or anything on the mat - it will erode fondant. I also think that cookie dough might need a bit of flour to keep it from sticking. But if you aren't going to use it for fondant all that often, I don't see why not. But really, just go to the Walmart and buy it by the yard. It's a lot cheaper and you can have several for different uses. It's very expensive. And the first one I ordered came folded into an envelope, rendering it garbage, so be careful who you order from, if you do.

Yes. But every once in a while I just spray some nonstick spray on it and wipe it off to keep it nonstick.

In my experience, I have have to use a non-stick cooking spray. Butter has not worked well.

Never spray Pam on non-stick pans! It will make them sticky and reduce their non-stick properties. It's not the oil in they cooking spray that is damaging, it's the accellerant. Even sprays labeled "canola oil" or "olive oil" contain these compounds, so don't use them at all on coated pans labeled non-stick. It is petroleum based and will dissolve the non-stick surface, ruining your pans or grills. Use oil or butter instead. The best way to use oil is to brush it onto the food you are cooking. Olive oil works fine as does canola oil, just keep the smoke-point of oil in mind if you're searing anything on high heat. Hope that helps.

You could, but I would be gentle not to rip the material. Nothing sticks to it so if I am making cookies I generally just pick them up with my hands.

all I did was spray some non-stick spray all over inside the bottom the first few times. now, I just spray the bottom very lightly, and nothing ever sticks, even on the sides where I haven't sprayed. I just wipe out and use my scraper and/or clean with plain water. I guess my baker is seasoned very well by now ... been using it several times weekly for a little over a month. also, I usually proof my bread in the baker and start baking in a cold to warm oven (warming the lid some).
