de Buyer Baking Mats & Baking Sheets
A baking mat from de Buyer is a worthwhile purchase for anyone who bakes often and enjoys it. These nonstick-coated silicone baking mats work much like parchment paper: they prevent baked goods from sticking to the surface beneath them. This allows you to remove baked goods from the baking mat easily and without damaging them. This is especially important for delicate pastries and fragile creations. The advantage over conventional disposable parchment paper: the de Buyer baking mat is reusable and offers additional benefits. You can also use it as a work mat for kneading and rolling out dough or as a surface for cutting out cookies. A silicone baking mat can even be used as a freezing aid, since it is resistant to both heat and cold.
The de Buyer "Airmat" baking mat is a true pro: its perforations prevent baked goods from "sweating." Bread dough and pizza crusts turn out wonderfully crisp.
Pair it with a perforated aluminum baking sheet from de Buyer for a well-matched combination. These microperforated baking sheets are made of uncoated aluminum and are available with or without angled edges. The perforations provide very good hot and cold air circulation and allow for even baking, as the sheet conducts and distributes heat uniformly. You'll find a wide selection of de Buyer baking sheets in different shapes and materials in this category.
Frequently Asked Questions About de Buyer Baking Mats & Baking Sheets
What is the difference between perforated and non-perforated baking sheets?
Perforated baking sheets have small holes that improve air circulation. This helps crusts turn out crispier and bake more evenly. Non-perforated sheets, on the other hand, are better suited for wet doughs or delicate baked goods.
How do I properly care for my de Buyer baking mat?
After use, clean the baking mat with warm water and mild dish soap. Then let it dry thoroughly. Avoid sharp objects and harsh cleaning products to protect the nonstick coating.
Can I use a baking mat instead of parchment paper?
Yes, baking mats are an alternative to disposable parchment paper. They are reusable and prevent dough from sticking, much like parchment paper.
What are the benefits of aluminum baking sheets?
Aluminum baking sheets conduct heat efficiently and ensure even baking. They are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making them durable and easy to handle.
Are de Buyer baking mats heat-resistant?
Yes, the baking mats are heat-resistant and can be used at temperatures ranging from -55°C to +280°C. This makes them suitable for both oven use and freezing.
How do I prevent my baking sheet from warping in the oven?
To minimize warping, preheat the oven evenly and avoid sudden temperature changes. High-quality baking sheets made from sturdy materials are less prone to warping.
