Can you use these mats to knead and work with raw dough?

Absolutely not. It is basicly a net made with fiberglass fiber then coated with silicone. There are plenty of holes that dough can get through.

No do not even try ! However I think you are thinking of Roul'pat , which is fantastic .....my very best buy ever

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.

Please don't this one has a lot of small holes, you can imagine what will happen.

Since you cannot cut the baking mats, i use them to keep food from sticking on baking stones and baking sheets, in which they will fit. A good replacement for parchment paper or greasing pans. Haven't tried them with cakes, brownies or casserole since they don't fit in those pans

Sure, plastic ones work fine.I've used metal ones,but only with soft dough that didn't require much pressure. I generally keep sharp tools away from the mat as I want it to last for a good long time.

I believe you could probably use both items on the pastry mat. I have not done so yet, butI am a baker and your cutters and pastry wheel are essentially just cutting through the dough. Just don't exert any more pressure on the mat than is necessary.

Not me. I would think your biggest problem is going to be in keeping the clay from sticking to the rollers. I use lots of flour to keep my dough moving through freely. If you can keep the clay from sticking, I don't see why you couldn't use it to roll clay. It's pretty sturdy.

Salsa, soup, and green drinks should not be a problem. Nut butter would be a challenge without adding a lot of oil to smooth out the mixture and working in small batches. A food processor would probably be a better choice. I have not tried to make dough, but it doesn't seem realistic. The blades would not be an appropriate tool. A stand mixer with a dough attachment would be a better choice.

I have only used them for baking but I suppose they could be used for cutting the dough although the recipe I use is pretty sticky.

yes you can. I make a black bread and line the pan with parchment paper and it works

I'm very sure you can do that as long as you soak them into water over night for them to soften enough...But don't forget to measured the right amount everything that you put in, over load nuts or beans machine will not crust them. Happy cooking ! This is a great machine.

You must be thinking of the Olfa mats, but I wouldn't expect to wash these with hot water to sanitize them. And if you're going to put food on them, you'll need to wash them. I've got the Silicon Pastry mat, but I don't cut on it. I use it to knead my bread on and roll out pastry. I absolutely love it, nothing sticks to it, it's easy to clean with hot soapy water and it's thin enough. I don't know how to advise you on cookie cutting, but you can use parchment. That is what I use for cookies specifically.

I have used it for bread, and yes it is OK. however, a pizza stone for both would be better and you do not need a mat.

sure it can ! just put in your ingredients and let it do the mixing for you. Sometimes I make the dough in the machine and bake it in the oven instead of the machine. It's nice to use it that way too, kind of keeps the mess in one place.

I have not tried making bread dough as the manufacturer hasn't recommended it.It's mentioned specifically that its only for chopping, shredding n slicing..

It's geared more toward rolling out pasta once you've formed it into a ball of dough. I think you would need a bread kneader attachment on a processor.

Hi Ahmed, yes this set is perfect for those types of recipes. The silicone mats are heat resistant and non stick so your caramels and toffe will lift right off them. The spatulas are also non stick and heat resistant so perfect for working with these types of foods. I hope this answer helps! Regards, Matt - StarPack Team

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!
