My old pastry mat slid all over the counter. I hated that. Does this one stay put on the counter when kneading dough?

It helps if you dampen the back. If that does not work, try putting it on a damp. thin dish towel. Depends on the kind of counter top.

It stays pretty much in place, there is a slight amount of slide, not like the one i had before,it was all over the place. I am quite pleased with this mat.

Yes, it works great for loaf cakes, quick breads, and yeast breads alike. The corrugation has never caused me any trouble with anything-everything slides out so easily.

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.

I know about fondant, you are beyond my baking skill set. Once it uncurls and lays flat it pretty well stays put. It is not flimsy, it is a substantial mat. Now I am comparing this to mats I' seen in retail outlets. Hope this helps.

The question is how sturdy is your fold out table? I lean in to dough when I knead and so need a sturdy support under the board. I use mine on top of my stove without any problem.

I used it directly on the oven rack once and it was fine - not very convenient because you can't move it around in the oven the way you can with a cookie sheet for instance but the mat was fine.

If you place the bread slicer on top of a damp towel it will stay put on the counter. I find that this works well for cutting boards, as well. I am short in stature. I place the bread slicing guide on a table that is considerably lower height than my counters. Makes it much easier to slice loaves that are taller than the slots. To keep the loaf in place within the slicer, you might put a piece of cardboard in the slot behind the heel of the loaf.

I love this mat. nothing sticks to it. I have 3 now. so when I bake or make bread I use it. I use one for other things and 3 for baking. get it. You will not be sorry you did.

The wheels lock, but if using it to make bread, I would still put it up against a solid surface, like the kitchen counter, to stabilize it during kneading. The surface would work for bread. : D

An actual knife will leave marks on this mat or even cut it. It is a soft, pliable silicone mat. You can cut with a hard, plastic scraper or hard, plastic spatula. Just cut softly. This mat stays on my counter nicely and is great for rolling out dough, but I have run into this same issue. Because the mat is so functional otherwise, I have found these other ways to gently cut things. I think a pizza cutter potentially will leave marks on the mat or cut it. I made cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning. I used this mat to roll the dough and make them. I used a knife to cut the rolls which left indentations on the mat. It is still functional for future, but I was reminded to use hard plastic next time and cut gently.

Mine slipped all over the place and it proved to be too small for the amount of dough I was using for two loaves of bread. I threw it away. It was much easier just to work on the kitchen counter and clean with a plastic pot scraper.

I just made an apple pie and tried rolling out the crust on the mat. I would NOT recommend doing it. Actually, the dough stuck to the mat and I needed to flour the mat and then roll it out. I do have two silicone mats, one is the Wilton 14-1/2 x 9-1/2, the other is Cuissential 15" x 11". I used the Cuissential. I don't think there would have been much difference (if any) had I used the Wilton since when I bake cokies, both mats react the same. In the end, I would up flouring my countertop and rolling the dough out there. The positive was that I wasn't restricted in the size that I could roll the dough out to.

No, the bowl has a twist lock system that keeps it in place which keeps it from spinning when you are kneading dough which is a good thing, thanks for asking...Randy

I have used it only as a pastry mat to roll out cookie dough. I personally did not like it and won't use it again. The dough stuck like glue. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

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:)

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

I've never had an issue with it moving around the countertop, it stays right where i put it.
