Рецепт Silicone baking mats: like or dislike?
Welcome to Like or Dislike, where you get to share how you really feel about ingredients from the pantry, ingredients I'm thinking about adding to my pantry, other seasonal foods, and favorite cooking gear. The things you like are sure to find their way to the recipes here on The Perfect Pantry, so do tell.
In the beginning, there were Silpats -- miraculous silicone baking mats that guaranteed no cookie, pastry, or meatloaf would stick to a baking sheet. Now there are many brands, at many price points. Good at temperatures up to 450°F and even higher, the mats last for 1,000 bakings or more, and they're easy to wash. Sound too good to be true? It's true. I have Silpats (and other brands, too) that have baked hundreds of batches of cookies for donation, and are still going strong. Don't use them under the broiler (I did that one time and yes, it caught on fire), but for baking or roasting, I can't say enough good things about them. I have them in several different sizes, to fit all of my sheet pans, and the super-large size mats are great for rolling out dough. Are you a fan of silicone baking mats?

Last week: cloth napkins. Good cases made on both sides, cloth vs. paper, and a number of readers use both, depending on the occasion. Oh, and plenty of napkin rings, too. Thank you all for wonderful answers and a few great ideas about cloth napkins as gifts and family heirlooms.
