My Word Gift Guide # 9: Silpat non-stick baking mats

# 9 Silpat non-stick baking mats

I received some of these as a gift many years ago and they are used throughout the year, but especially in the run-up to my annual Cookie Party. Each year I make between 80 and 100 dozen cookies and candies to serve at this all-day open house.

These pads stand up to frequent use and prevent anything from sticking. They also add a bit of protection from burning your cookies, if you are bit inattentive. They give you a few extra minutes in the oven for each batch before things turn bad (or into charcoal, as sometimes happens). (LAUGH)

There are all size for these pads, depending on your needs.
