Could this couche be used as a pastry cloth for rolling out pie crusts, cookie doughs, etc.?

I guess you could try to use it that way. I've never tried. It's large enough, but the material is thicker than that of most pastry cloths.

No you cannot use this for rolling out anything, It is made of cloth and is designed to proof rising breads. It would stick for one thing and as the other responder said, it wouldn't be secure to the counter. You can find many different pastry matts on Amazon.com, they also have non slip pastry helpers, but don't try the silicone baking sheet as it's exactly to be used for baking and keeping baked goods from sticking.

Sorry, but this time I have to say an outright "no". It's too rough (like burlap) and although it might work, I wouldn't try. I bake pies as well and I much prefer using a smooth surfaced material for the tender pie crusts rather than this rough surface. Sometimes you can multitask a product but not this one for pie crusts. Cookie dough? Pretty much the same thing. This couche is fairly rigid as well as rough so again I wouldn't think of using it for anything else than forming bread loaves. Good luck!

Yes, absolutely. Probably better for this purpose than for baking. And, my children used it to make stepping stones for my garden. Multi-purpose and you cannot beat the price!!

I haven't tried rolling out fondant, but I would guess that it would be fine. It's thick enough that i have no problem with any type of dough: pastry, pizza, or kneading bread dough. This pastry mat is really the best I've used.

I have never done this before, but if I did, I think I would lay a small piece of plastic wrap between the pie and the pan. Since the bottom of each space has a removable bottom, I believe it would be easy lifting and no sticking. Plus, you could probably use the plastic again and again. I hope this helps.

I haven't used it for something like that, although I don't know why you couldn't. I've mainly used mine for pie crust and biscuits. I love it. Give it a try for you red velvet or pumpkin cake roll. I think it would probably work pretty good. Good luck.

I wouldn't recommend it. An aluminum pizza pan is made for that purpose. Try ablekitchen.com for pizza pans as low as $3.00 each. Also get a "pizza screen" to let pizza cool a little and prevent crust from getting soggy.

It sure can. I use mine all the time for so many things. I have used it to put things on that I want to have ventilation all around to cook quicker and not lose my crisp crust due to steaming where the food hits the pan. I use it over a 1/2 bake rimmed sheet. I like it for things coated similar to a shake and bake pork chop, etc. keeping things warm in a warm oven after I have cooked it another way like fried chicken done in batches. I think you will really like it. My only regret is that I didn't get 2 earlier.

I don't think it would be good for that. The space in the top is small. I keep hair clips in the drawer. The bottom drawer is good for tall bottles or cans of hair spray shampoo and such but I can't imagine it would really work for baking sheets. And I can't think of any place cooking utensils would fit.

Yes but it's rather heavy and large for that purpose. I use it as a pastry board.

This was purchased for rolling out fondant. It would be unattractive as a trivet. However, the silicone properties might protect the surface you put it on.

Sorry, we've only used it for bread and pizza. If the cloth is floured and the dough isn't too sticky it would probably work fine.

I don't think so. I don't think it's big enough and has a bumpy texture. If your asking about rolling out dough, I would so no. You would need something larger and smoother.

I wouldn't. It is an excellent mat for rolling out dough and other items, but I would not cut on it. I have another rigid mat that I use for that purpose.

Yes, you could, but it would score the mat. I would recommend using pastry knife, pizza cutter, or a butter knife; basically, any duller knife that will cut dough.

It could be, I actually use mine as a biscuit pan, so it should be fine as a cookie sheet, just use a lower temperature when baking

I'm not sure how the cloth would respond to heat. I use it to cover my dough all the time. The cloth should be misted with oil and floured before use.

Yes, you can make sheets of dough for lasagna or pastry. I even use mine to roll out bread dough for pita and other kinds of breads.
