Hi, you may not want to roll out dough on this mat because it does not have a very large circumference depending on the size that you need but it is very possible as the mat will not slide back and forth at all. The mat is sticky though and I have found that I was better off rolling out my dough on my countertop. I hope this helps:)

There is a tendency to slide around, depending on the surface texture of the countertop. I have a slightly worn formica countertop with some roughness, and I spread a little tap water on the countertop surface before placing the pastry mat. The surface tension of the water anchors the mat quite well and keeps it in place for the most part.

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.

These will slide a little. I have them as tight as I can but still with some slippage. Still, they work fine and I'm happy with them.

Yes! I do use these pans for exactly that. In my recipe, I butter + flour the pan before adding the dough, and it popped out easily! I prefer stainless steel to nonstick because I never need to worry about flaking surface materials getting in my food.

This should work fine, as long as you don't pause between the clicks and let the dough break. It helps if you tilt the press so the dough is coming out parallel to the cookie sheet.

I used these mats on a laminate floor and never had any problem with them sliding. I do P90x on these mats.

I want to second what R. Mercer said. You definitely want one of the longer rolling pins for these. The dough has to fit between the bands so if you have a short 12inch pin you'll be limited to rolling out a sheet of dough that's at best 11 inches wide and probably less. I use a 19 inch rolling pin and I still sometimes feel constrained by the bands.

I don't think this is the best choice to keep things from sliding around. This has raised ridges that actually allow items to move easily. I would choose one of the more cushion-y shelf liners if you want non-skid.

Yes they roll more than they slide. I have owned three previous chair mats for plush carpeting by ES Robbins, Staples and Office Depot before this and they all were inferior to this model from Floortex. The 5 wheels on my chair do not dig or indent at all into the mat which they did do with all 3 previous mats. The smooth side that faces up has a much better feel as to quality and thickness without being so slick that you could slip on it wearing socks. I really think that is the best chair mat I have ever owned!!

I keep mine rolled out. Don't think it makes any difference once the dough is on it. Haven't had any problems myself, but then I bought it because I have to use the kitchen table and I used to make a huge mess. This mat keeps my flour pretty much contained.

The mat specifically listed as a Silpat for bread would not work as it has an open weave so the dough would push through. The regular Silpats are smooth with a closed weave and I have used them to work bread dough. Just have to have a good coat of flour to keep the dough from sticking as the mats are very smooth. I have used the regular Silpats to roll out pizza dough several times and they work well for that.

I've never rolled out dough on it, but if you have sticky dough it might work alot less effectively than a flour-sprinkled wooden surface.

I would roll on counter top with flour... Depending on how wet your dough is, i suppose if you flour the stones you wil be okay

Absolutely. I thought it might slip but it doesn't. The dough doesn't slide around either but comes off easily.

Yes, you can use this on which to roll out your dough for pastries. This was a trick I never knew I could do but picked up from another cooking website. Works well!

I think there is enough room to roll your bread out---but this cart has wheels and rolls pretty easily--so it would move around while you were working on your dough.
