Does this silicone mat have a heat temperature rating or a maximum heat limit when used as a trivet?

Sorry, I have no idea about temperature rating and would never have thought to use it as a trivet. I'd be afraid it would melt. According to the website "answer bag", silicone melts above 932 deg F. I still wouldn't put a hot pot on it!

The manufacture list this: Made of food-safe silicone, this mat is heat resistant to 425 degrees and can be used as a trivet.

I only use it to dry dishes, pots and pans, and anything that can't go in the dishwasher. Do not know whether it can be used as a trivet and to sustain heat. Msybe the manufacturer or somewhere on the web you may find these specs. Sorry.

I would not use as a trivet for hot pans, dishes yes. So far so good. It is great to stabilize my iPad, phone and other important items when traveling in RV.

silicone is good up to 500 degrees F - sugar at that temperature would be way past caramel. You'll really love the smooth surface - no lump from the hanle to snag your stuff.

I don't see any specifics here or on the Kuhn Rikon site, but most silicone is good to at least 400+ degrees F. I've used this wisk over and over when making pan sauces. It stands up to the heat. Love the flat bottom.

Sorry I did not respond I was on vacation. This mat is made in Canada by a industrial food and baking products manufaturer. It is good to +200 degrees and -40degrees. You can run it through the dishwasher too but I don't. I love this mat!

The mold is high grade silicone and can certainly handle the high temps however, the manufacture is the one that must certify whether the silicone is food grade or not. This is from China and there is just no way to determine from the data provided whether it is food grade or not. Best to go with the ones that say "Food Grade" Silicone, or to purchase where you can talk to the vendor, like on the ETSY web site.

Every silicone mat I've ever seen says not to use it above 425. The silicone starts to break down above that temperature. Parchment paper (at least the brands I've seen) isn't food safe above that temperature either.

I've only used mine in the oven to keep stuff warm. But ... silicone bakeware (like a loaf pan I use all the time) is suppose to be good up to at least 400 deg. if not more. Can't imagine that this one would be any different. Product description says 460 degrees.

I'm not sure you can get both a light and mat to heat to the same temperature. I used it to keep a heating pad from exceeding 105-deg. It works perfectly.

The mats warm a little from the item that you are cooking, but nothing significant. I purchased this mat because it was larger in diameter than one I was using. This mat was about half the thickness, and wrinkled on the edge (like the picture) during use. That annoyed me so much that I went back to my original mat, made by Roshco, which is still in my microwave. You can also use the all silicon trivets as microwave mats. Hope this helps.

Yes. But keep in mind this heater gets pretty hot by itself. You need hi temp silacon to adhear to metal surface. And make sure you have full contact to surfaces for proper heat displacement or you could cause overheating in the mat.

I don't know; I haven't tried to do that. I bought it primarily as a mat to set my bamboo dishdrain on. It's not a trivet; if I set a pan hot off the stove or out of the oven I think it would burn.

They heat up because they are short and metal. On other tri ply pans the handle is much longer and they do stay cool. For this pan what I do is use tongs to grab the handle to rotate pan and pot holders to lift . I have not found any silicone toppers for it

Hi Laura, This nonstick baking mat works with temperatures between -40º F to 480º F. Because the mat is nonstick, it is extremely easy to clean. Many times, you will find that simply wiping it down with a paper towel is sufficient. Otherwise, just wipe it down with a soapy sponge and rinse the mat with warm water.

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.

The product is made of a flexible teflon and is labeled PTFE (PFOA free)See this website for explanation of PTFE/PFOA http://home.howstuffworks.com/nonstick-cookware5.htm. Package directions advise not to use above 500F (260C). After you read the article at the website you can decide if the material releases chemicals. We usually slow cook at from 300-350F. The mat cleans very easily. Hope this answers you questions.
