You may have seen sheets like these on cooking shows or at fancy stores under the Silpat name selling for huge sums of money and were discouraged. Well, let me end any confusion and tell you that these work the same way! They are like having permanent non-stick surfaces for baking, roasting, and even candy making. You may be a bit scared to put this plastic looking sheet into the oven at first, but don't worry, as your food would be charred before it would ever melt.
You may have been very frustrated by candy making in the past because the hot sugar would stick to anything that wasn't caked in non-stick spray. Fear no more, as this slippery wonder is a great working surface for kneading it while it's still hot or after it has cooled. If you want to keep it malleable for a longer period of time, set up a small heat lamp over the work surface.
What about cookies? I was shocked with how well they baked. Needless to say, nothing sticks (I was even able to just pick the sheet up and slide them onto a plate), but the surface also helped for even heating of the bottoms in our wonky oven that normally burns them. This was the most even browning I've ever seen, and required less effort than normal. It makes me much less nervous about putting baked goods into the oven. The downside is that cookies that rely on an ungreased cookie sheet to maintain proper form will spread on these sheets in a manner similar to a baking sheet sprayed with Pam. Fortunately, those cookies are typically laden with butter and do not stick anyway.
A bonus feature is that you can place this on a cookie sheet underneath a pie that might boil over in the oven. This can save hours of cleanup for those messy pastries.
Then comes the cleaning of the mat. All you do is rinse it with warm soapy water, as I've never seen anything actually stuck to it. It can tend to feel a bit slimy, but that's just the nature of the material. Storage is very convenient as well, as you can roll it up and even stick it in your silverware drawer!
I really have no reason not to recommend this product. It saves time, is cheaper than less effective sprays, and is convenient. I wouldn't cook without one... or two.

I'm a make-do cook. When I saw a well-known personality touting this stuff on her TV show, I just poh-poohed the notion. Then, at a pre-Christmas sale, I decided to try a sheet. Whoa! What a wonder! I promptly bought a second sheet, and I would never try to bake cookies again without one. The savings in time (1-2 min per sheet), headaches (cutting parchment to size every time and then running out), and clean-up (nothing - I say again NOTHING - sticks to this stuff) make it worth every penny!

I've never used a sheet like this or parchment paper, and always ended up having to spend a lot of time scrubbing my cookie sheets after baking. I got one of these matfer sheets recently and I'm in love! At first it looked a little scary - it looks plastic and like it would melt. Since I am a novice chef, I tend to burn things and I have melted plastic in my oven before - not a pretty sight! I was happy to find out that not only does it NOT melt, but NOTHING sticks to this thing. Nothing!
My cookies slide off easily, so easily that I don't even have to hold down the cookie sheet! I also have used it when baking pies and cobblers, since they tend to boil over and make a mess. Recently I made a cherry cobbler and put this sheet between the cobbler and the baking sheet - and after the cobbler was done the matfer was a mess (but my baking sheet was pristine!). I ran a little water over the matfer, all the cherry goo came off with ease! I didn't even have to scrub!
Another bonus is how easy these are to store. I just roll mine up and they fit neatly in a drawer. I bought two for myself, and I also bought a half dozen more that I am giving away for Christmas this year. They are AMAZING sheets, I highly recommend them to anyone! Well worth the cost - one of the greatest kitchen investments you'll ever make!
