How To Take Care of Your KPKitchen Silicone Pastry Mat
Please follow these tips to keep your new silicone pastry mat in the best condition so it can work as intended for as long as possible.
- Before using your silicone pastry mat the first time, put it in the dishwasher or wash with warm water, a soap and a sponge and pat or air dry.
- Keep away from direct flame since this silicone pastry mat is not intented to go into the oven - but the silicone is still ghat resistant up to 450° F
- Do not use as a cutting surface since sharp objects will cut the mat. Only something like plastic dough scrapers are advisable (but they also need to be used with care)
- Store flat or rolled up (folded is also an option but you have to be careful of not folding it too tightly - this might damage the mat)
3 Most Asked Questions
1. Can you roll out dough without using flour?
- Yes, depending on the type of dough you have, it should be possible to roll out your dough without using flour, that's how non-stick the mat is (if not, a little bit flour always helps ;))

- No, this silicone pastry mat does not have the same fibers in it as the other baking mats, this one is not suited for high temperatures or ovens. It is intended to be used for rolling dough etc. on your counter space.
3. If I roll the pastry mat up to store it does it lay flat again once unrolled?
- There is no problem with the silicone pastry mat lying flat after being rolled up in storage. You can even bend or squeeze as you want.
