By using the mat does it speed up your cooking time?

No didn't change cooking time but feels so much cleaner and easier than the grill grates each time.

No, this mat is useless. It does not stick to the counter therefore moves all the time. I wished I never bought it.

Certainly. I do it all the time. You will need to flour it, of course. I make bread weekly, and I like this mat because it makes for easy clean up. After my bread is done, I just shake the floor off (I go outside and shake it onto the grass, good fertilizer) and wash the mat off. Same thing for rolling pie crust.

Do you mean from baking? I use the mat only for rolling / working on the dough. mine never goes into the oven.

I haven't personally done it, but I believe so. I used it when I was in a hurry once and made mashed/whipped potatoes. It was actually faster than using the regular beaters.

No mats needed to do workouts. I didn't come with a nutritional guide, but I would suggest looking into a low calorie cook book.

The mat has no effect on the temperature for cooking. I love this mat and would not be without it. Makes baking cookies an absolute pleasure.

Absolutely! It just depends how long you cook it ... Maybe do a minute or less per strip to start, then adjust to preference once you get the idea.

Yes! The "sear" setting allows you to pause the rotation and sear the food. I use that function all the time- I love it!

I haven't had that problem, nor has my daughter who uses them. If I were having that issue, I think I would perhaps think about lowering the oven temperature and then, if that didn't work, I'd consider altering the time. One or the other of these should address the problem...but I would find a way to keep using the mats...I LOVE the easy clean up!

Yes it makes them faster but not as tight, use lose the fire a lot. I have burnt a lot of clothes. I bought one to make with manual. I like it much better.

Yes. I do it all the time, and it is one of the clear advantages of having the aluminum sandwiched in between the stainless steel. So, you can brown your vegetables, or heat up the liquid, or make a sauce in the roaster and then plop it into the oven.

I have hidden heating elements and I have placed my sheet on the bottom. It may take longer to cook things but that is okay with me. I usually add five minutes to the cooking time.

Depends on what you're cooking, but most of the time yes. Not a big deal though. Yesterday I cooked a rock solid frozen 2 inch NY strip steak to perfect restaurant quality medium rare in a little more than 30 minutes. The thing really works...

Potentially not at all. Technically does a bit more than some (yogurt and rice) but less than some others as it has limited settings. The thing that makes it different is the clay pot-- you either buy into the idea that cooking in clay is healthier (no teflon or other chemicals) and gives the food some je ne sais quois and added flavor or you think its ridiculous and save some money. I like that it uses natural materials-- but can totally see the other point of view.

Yes it does. Depending on what you are going to cook a little goes a long way. I have used it on several occasions with very satisfying results. Try it you will like it.

Not really! It does allow slight grill marks on food like steaks. We really love it, though. What a difference in "clean-up". The mat just easily washes off in the sink and is ready for the next use and the actual grill plates stay very clean. We have two of them and use them every time. Great for doing veggies.
