Many mats are made of silicone and fiberglass, and can withstand both the heat of an oven and the cold of a freezer.

The terms pastry mats and baking mats are often used interchangeably, but these mats differ from each other in 3 ways: The most elegant and chic, marble pastry mats are made of natural stone and have a highly polished finish that gives them a non-slip grip on any surface. Their porous nature makes them prone to staining and discoloration over time, but they have a higher resistance to heat than plastic mats. What Is the Best Way To Clean a Pastry Mat? Plastic pastry mats are more rigid than silicone, but they’re more affordable and easier to clean. However, they can bend or warp over time and may not always be dishwasher-safe. Wood We all procrastinate cleaning the utensils after a baking session, but it’s an essential aspect of maintaining your tools. If you hate scrubbing off burnt-on sugar or crumbs, go for pastry mats that are dishwasher safe, making the cleaning experience easy and pain-free. Size

Experienced and more adventurous bakers may prefer to select a mat with markings for patisseriework, such as macarons and éclairs. On the other hand, for those new to baking, a mat with every type of baking conversion you'll ever need will be a great help in the kitchen. Some pastry mats have recipes on them too!

But there's no arguing that it's the most photo-friendly choice for showing off your pastry creations, and you can even opt for a matching marble rolling pin to complete the set. If you plan to use your pastry mat for baking, consider what size pans you have. A full-size sheet pan is 18 by 26 inches, but a half sheet pan or smaller is what most home cooks use. A half sheet pan's dimensions are 18 by 12 or 13 inches, which fits in most home ovens.Lakeland is a trusted name in kitchenware, so it's no surprise that this high-quality pastry mat comes with an impressive three-year guarantee. We particularly like that this mat is non-slip, preventing it from crumpling up when you're at a critical stage of rolling out. Some pastry mats are even resistant to freezing temperatures, which can be a good choice if melt-in-the-mouth flaky pastry is your goal. After rolling out your flaky pastry, speed-chill them in the freezer for 15 minutes before baking. This will ensure the buttery layers remain separate.

Pastry mats are usually made from flexible materials, such as food-grade silicone. However, they can also be made from wood or toughened glass. 100% silicone and silicone-mix mats are flexible, so that the pastry can be gently eased off, whereas glass and wood offer a more stable base for rolling. Wooden pastry mats are another great option if you’re just beginning to bake. These mats are made from beech wood and coated with food-safe finishes, such as vinyl or silicone. These finishes protect the wood from spills and stains while also providing some slip resistance. The coatings do wear over time, so they may not be ideal if you’re frequently baking or if you tend to spill while cooking. Marble Wood pastry board: A hardwood board is durable and makes for a great cutting surface. There is some upkeep involved, as it needs an application of butcher oil from time to time. Pastry boards are a more classic choice (think: Parisian patisserie), and materials like granite and marble have temperature-regulating properties that keep pastry cool while you're working with it. Some pastry boards — like granite — are oven-safe, but other materials, like wood, are not. And keep in mind: Pastry boards tend be more expensive, heavier, and require a bit more care and upkeep. Pros And Cons This granite pastry board (which has the benefit of doubling as a pizza stone) stays nice and cool while you're prepping dough, and — once in the oven — evenly distributes heat for consistent baking. It's heavy duty and fairly resistant to chips and scratches, but you will want to be gentle with it. The stone comes with a chrome rest that makes transfer from the counter to the oven easy, and it works great to keep the hot stone from scorching any surfaces once it's out of the oven.

Almost all pastry mats have ruler markingsin metric (cm) and imperial (inches) units. Circular guidelines are also common, and are ideal for making pies pasties, quiches and tarts. You can even find mats with square markings if you fancy making puff pastry squares.
