This pastry mat is an absolute essential for anyone who decorates cakes and works with fondant, or if you make pie dough from scratch. It lays flat, grips the countertop very well and doesn’t shift around whatsoever when I’m rolling dough or fondant. I love the fact that I’m able to lift the mat to release the rolled out dough or fondant onto the rolling pin to place on the cake or pie dish. It’s also easy to clean right on the counter. I wet a paper towel with water and dish detergent and rub it on the pastry mat. Then I “rinse” it with another clean wet paper towel to remove any soap residue. The mat folds easily for storage too. I highly recommend it!
The first time I used this mat I kept thinking I wish I had bought this a long time ago. It is well made. The markings are very handy, especially the circles for measuring pie pastry. It is very easy to clean and roll up when you are finished but its most important property, for me, is that it adheres naturally to my granite countertop and does not move at all while kneading and manipulating dough. I am very glad I have added this to my kitchen.
Super convenient for smaller kitchens! I roll it up and put it away when I’m done with it. Roll it out when I need it again. Great for working with dough, the measurements help make sure everything is uniform and you have the right size/shape dough for the pan you’re using.
I never made pie crust because I had no place to roll dough on my tiny apartment countertop. This mat not only offers sufficient space, but it stays put, has lots of measurements. I'll be using this mat forever!
We picked this up because the wife was tired of overlaying multiple smaller silicone pastry mats when we make pizza dough. Works great, it is easy to clean off. Overall, very happy with this purchase and would buy this brand again if we ever need another silicone mat for the kitchen.
I really like this mat. It is significantly easier to work with dough on here than a traditional wooden cutting board. It makes clean up a breeze once done compared to my granite countertops. You can literally pick up the mess & transfer it to the trash or sink in a breeze. The various markings of measurements in the form of circles, inches, temperature conversation, centimeters, measurement conversion helps reduce using a calculator to convert in your recipe. No more eye balling it, guessing, or making your phone messy!

This is an awesome product! I don't have a big enough cutting board for rolling out dough, so I usually have to use my countertop, which obviously isn't ideal. This product absolutely solved that problem, clean up is so easy now! I love that I can measure the pie crusts for my pie plate. It stays in place on the countertop, no worries about it moving under your rolling pin. It's also super easy to clean!

I recently bought this after realizing my traditional canvas pastry cloth was a bit small for one of my cookie baking projects. Then, a couple weeks ago, our vet diagnosed one of our dogs with early kidney disease which means that he can't have commercially available dog treats. So I made a batch of home made treats suitable for his changed dietary needs and the mat was perfect for rolling and cutting out his treats. I love it.
