The standard size measures 27.5 x 20 inches, which won’t fit most baking sheets, but it comes in a variety of sizes for larger or smaller surface areas and baking trays. After asking several pastry chefs and friends for their insights, we all agreed on the reliable Silpat as the best all-around silicone baking mat. Because the Silpat brand is what you’ll commonly find in restaurant kitchens and bakeries, those of us with professional experience have spent ample time baking a variety of goods on them. They’re made with a durable blend of fiberglass-reinforced, food-grade silicone to distribute heat across a baking surface for even results. Silpats are very easy to clean by hand, but they can also be tossed into the dishwasher.
