The most used tool in my kitchen is a Silpat silicone baking mat. I own 6 of them and use them every single day whether I’m baking chocolate chip cookies, scones, chicken, bagels, potatoes, maple almond granola, vegetables, fish, homemade caramel corn, candied nuts, or using as a nonstick surface for chocolate truffles, saltine toffee, and mint chocolate swirl bark. I also use them for rolling out the dough for sugar cookies and baking homemade soft pretzels. These mats are extremely versatile, limit waste, and roll up for easy storing. You know I’m a huge fan! But one of the most common questions I see is “how do I clean them?” As you can guess, I have plenty of experience cleaning my silicone baking mats. If you own a mat, you know they can get pretty dirty and oily. Oil and flavor residue remain on the surface of these slick mats and it can be incredibly frustrating and off-putting, especially if you like keeping your kitchenware spick-and-span. I discovered 4 tricks and each one works every single time. I’ll list them in no particular order, though #1 and #4 are how I usually clean my mats.
