Can these SafeDine Silicone Baking Mats be cut down to fit my pans, without ruining the mats?

Hi BB, you can cut them if you want to, but the mats were not meant to be cut. They are very flexible, so should be able to sit well in most standard pan sizes. How large is your pan?

I don't think so, geometry of the mats will change considerably, so don't waste your money and ask directly to maker.

I cannot answer your question about using these in dehydrators but the manufacturer labels are clearly marked regarding the mats NOT be trimmed to fit differing sized pans, it will compromise the integrity and render them useless. I will say they work wonderfully in the oven, far superior to parchment paper or foil.

I don't believe that they can because of the handles. Some of the "high end" pans have removable handles, I have never tried to remove these for use in the oven.

Yes, you may place your baking pans directly on the Ovenliner, so that you don't lose any oven space. - Creative Kitchen

Sorry guys but the baking mats should never be cut. At their core is a fiber glass weave coated in silicone that should never be cut open and exposed to food. Hope this helps.Matt - StarPack Team

I wouldn't. I believe they'd probably leak because of the inserts and you'd wind up with soggy crusts. I just filled a 9x13 dish with an inch or so of water and put it on the bottom rack of the oven while mine were baking, and everything turned out fine. I do that with my regular springform pans when baking cheesecake also - never a problem.

You could but cutting mats are wider than the sewing table (table is 7 1/2 x 39 inches)

Yes, they can be cut with some scissors, but it might not look very nice. It would not have the support of the thick, clear plastic tray it sits in presently.

I've never tried it, but I don't see why you couldn't. Also - they come with paper cup liners inside each foil cut, so you could replace those with the colored paper cups and remove the foil ones after baking.

Absolutely not. Any damage to the mat, it should be discarded, according to the manufacturer. Fire issue maybe? I'd just buy a new pan to fit the mat.

You could....there are different sizes. You would have to have the right sizw of square pans (or cut to fit).

I love my Silpats and use them all the time. Mine fit exactly in my cookie sheet, but I would not expect any problems if they were to overhang a bit. I think having an overhang would be preferable to trimming them.

NOT unless you want to cut the 2 sides. I think they make a shorter size... search for it.

Take them off because you don't want a leaky pan. Actually, mine didn't come packed this way.......but remove. Happy baking!
