1. HEAT RESISTANT and LONG-LASTING – Safe to use up to 480°F. The smooth surface ensures a uniform heat distribution with no burnt or soggy bread bottoms. Our mats are, just like most high-quality baking mats, made of silicone and fiberglass. Bread Basics mats have a very strong and flexible fiberglass core, fully surrounded by double-sided silicone covering. This ensures the mats can withstand extreme temperatures, are pliable and strong, reject stickiness and can be reused many times with no damage. 2. Bread Basics will cut down your parchment paper usage. Parchment paper can get expensive and must be thrown away after each use. Bread Basics offers a reusable and eco-friendly alternative. Get rid of the parchment paper and give this a try. And we also offer you 1 silicone brush and 1 silicone spatula. 3. Eliminate the risk of burning your hands when placing your dough into a piping hot dutch oven or cast iron pot. The extra-long handles ensure the gentler, effortless and safer transfer of dough. 4. EASY TO CLEAN and STORE – Your loaf will slip right off this mat. Absolutely nothing sticks, which makes cleaning up a breeze. Easy to hand wash, no scrubbing needed and dishwasher safe. The storage band assures minimal and efficient storage space.
