Silpat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Silpat is the brand name of a popular silicone mat used in baking and in the production of candy to provide a non-stick surface without fat or parchment paper. Silpats contain a glass fiber weave that reinforces the silicone. It was invented by the French chemist Guy Demarle and is produced by the company he founded, called Demarle.
The Silpat's popularity was boosted by a positive review by food writer Amanda Hesser in the New York Times in 1998, and by its frequent use by celebrity chefs on their cooking shows. Silpats fit into most sheet pans, and can range in size from as small as a toaster oven to as large as a commercial restaurant oven.
