A Must Have - Silpat

This is mine. It is a Exopat and is pretty much the same thing. As the below description of a Silpat. I have 2 of these and they are awesome. I just love mine. I use the Exopat mostly for making cookies. They never stick to the pan, Yeah! I bought mine many years ago at a Kitchen store in VF Factory Mall for those who live in Arizona. On Baseline and Power. I am sure most good kitchen stores will carry them now. These were at the time right around $20 each and so worth it. They are such a time saver. Now I love parchment but these are used over and over again, save the parchment for making icing tubes for decorating cakes. This might be a good stocking stuffer this year.
