how does this compare to silicone?

I think silicone mats grip to your pans. This one sits on top just like paper-which is important to remember because first time I used this and pulled something out of the oven I made quite a mess. Now I just carefully take it out and no more problems. I would recommend this item.

I have never used silicone for my cookie sheets; this product is like parchment paper - very thin and you can cut them to fit your pans. They are wonderful for cookies. I have cut one sheet to fit my round cake pans. You can use them over and over - just clean with soap and water. I love this product; I have ordered several times and given them as gifts. I have used some of them for over two years.

With silicone, I can't get any browning on the bottom. I use both the silicone and the baking liners, depending on what I want to bake.I like browning on the bottom of my homemade biscuits, but not so much on my sugar cookies. I love these liners and will never be without them.

Hi. These are thinner and not as heavy as silicone, probably not as durable as well, but they work great for delicate cooking such as cookies and desserts.

Way better than silicone. Silicone will sometimes have things stick to it. Personally I prefer parchment paper to silicone but this stuff is pretty wonderful. Only complaint is that they FOLD it and ship it. It should be rolled and shipped.

It's very much lighter! In fact you can cut it to fit round cake pans, square ones etc. I love it. Washing it takes about 5 seconds.

I believe it is silicone, but I like it much better than Silat. It is as thin as paper, but reusable and much more slippery

I iron a lot and this has lasted a long time. It is a great cover and I love the elastic so it fits well. I don't believe there is a problem with the silicone. Hope this helps!

I don't own one of these, but have owned silicone bakeware in the past, and have had mixed results with it. Silicone is a good insulator of heat, and so you'll likely need to increase the recipe temperature slightly (if it's still in the tolerable range of the material, which I believe is 450 for silicone bakeware, but don't quote me on that.) When you bake with it, like any silicone item, you'll want to place it on a cookie sheet, and use plenty of Baker's Joy or Pam with flour, or grease and flour, as this is NOT non stick by any means.Hope this helps!

Extremely easily. It's silicone, so it has no shape memory like plastic does. I am so pleased with this product, I'm glad I spent the extra $3 and got this one over a plastic one. It is rather flopsy which makes it hilarious to clean and dry, but that's no big deal for me.

The consistency of the dried silicone is quite pliable so should not be bothersome; not sure of possible chemical irritation so check online before using. Might be better product at materials retailer. Good luck.

Get a good silicone cover for this. There are several for sale on Amazon.com. Works great!

Hello! I checked the label and doesn't say anything about silicone. Good luck!

I'm not sure. If I had to guess, I'd say silicone. I've had mine for about a year now and still love.

A little bit, but a quick rinse before throwing it in the dishwasher gets it right out. Has not been a big deal for me. Don't know if silicone. Feels soft like rubber, but I'm not sure. I'm latex allergic but haven't had any reaction.

It is silicone, I love this steamer! I take it to work with veggies in it (Kept in fridge of course) pop it in the microwave and yum yum!

It has silicon dioxide but not siliconE dioxide. Silicon is a mineral. SiliconE is a chemical used to make breast implants and other medical devices. Please do not confuse the two. Please google the differences.

Silicon is chemically inert, and one of the safer things to use for food. Silicone does not contain toxic chemicals like bisphenol-A, PVC and phthalates.

Silicone is dielectric, but greases can be compounded differently to achieve different thicknesses. This stuff is thinner than my tube of silicone dielectric grease.

The TPU plastic is not as tacky as silicone cases I've seen. If you get one that is see-through, the TPU case will provide a little traction in your pocket, your hand, or on a table top, but is not overly clingy. It's also much more durable than silicone.

No. It will cause problems like gumming up and attracting dirt. Best to use the Silicone.

I believe it is the newer silicone model, but it does have rubber O rings for sealing and in recommend putting a little silicone grease on those so they will last longer.

Dont specifically know a difference without researching it a little but you should be able to see a difference in description.. On the black wrap and silicone question. The wrap starts out black but when it gets wet most of the black washes out. Especially If you soak the wrap, in a bucket of water before applying, which I believe the instructions say to do, you end up with a bucket of black water and faded black wrap. The silicone spray keeps the wrap black, if thats the look you want. Which can be kept on hand and you can continually touch up the wrap if you want.
