One of my hobbies is baking, I bake when I'm happy, sad, worried or just to release stress and one of my favorite baking tools are silicone mats. Before I bought my first baking mat, the oatmeal cookies were a challenge, since then I have mastered the art to keep the pans as good as new.The last month the amazing people form Baker's13 sent me a silicone baking mat for a review.
While empanadas are a common dish in the Latino american culinary, their flavor, ingredients and preparation differs from one country to another, The empanadas in my country are more juicer, which sadly means more sticky and nasty baking sheets left behind. My experience with Baker's13, was great, their mats come in amazing designs, mine is the "Stripes" in blue, and it comes with a target where you can place your cookie dough maximizing the amount of cookies that can be baked at once and avoiding the risk of a crammed baking pan and cookies sticking together. It worked with my empanadas as well.
If you are not comfy using a Bakin's13 Silicone Mat or you dont know why you need one when you can just wash your baking sheet, use parchment paper and/or non-stick oil. I would love to share my kitchen knowledge with you:
- First a baking mat can replace all that parchment paper and non-stick oil and some expensive Teflon pans, which means more budget for ingredients or just more money in your pocket.
- A properly cared baking mat can last up one thousand uses, that's like 15000 cookies, ton of paper and trees saved. Green is a good trend to follow!
- Silicon mats shorten the baking time and allow a more even browning. Energy Saving!
- The Baker's13 mat has marks where each cookie should be placed, making easier for kids (and adults) to bake perfect cookies. Time Saving!
- Silicon mats can handle up to 400 degrees and 425 once you have used them a couple of times.
- The Baker's13 is microwave safe! Baking single cookies in your microwave is a must.
- The baker's 13 is dishwasher friendly and can be hand washed.
- Can be stored flat or bent, folded, rolled or simply hang it on any hook in your kitchen.
- It's BPA free! (BPA stands for bisphenol A.)
- Last but no least the beautiful designs. The baker's13 mat comes in 15 designs.
So far I love my new baking mat, the price is right, it saves me money and helps me to bake more striking and succulent cookies. Baker's13 is made of the highest quality of silicone and fulfills all the FDA regulations.
You can purchase Baker's13 trough their website.
Enjoy your cookies!!!
