Roul'pat Mat--Non Stick AND Non Slip

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)The French-made Roul'pat, like its cousin the Silpat, is a flexible silicon mat enclosing a thin, fiberglass mesh for durability. The Roul'pat is designed for creating a non-skid work surface for rolling out and kneading dough. The tacky surface adheres to the counter without clinging to the dough, making it easier to roll out thin pastry crusts and the like. Because the mat is flexible, the transfer of a pie crust to pan is a cinch. Dipped chocolates don't stick, nor does fondant. At sixteen and a half inches by twenty-four, the surface is expansive enough for most recipes. The only drawback to this unusual mat is the inability to cut on it, ruling out anything that requires a cookie cutter or knife. The manufacturer also warns against folding and scraping the surface.

I find the Roul'pat works best on pie crusts, pizza dough, chocolate, and flatbreads (or any bread dough that requires rolling or shaping.) Clean up is simple wipe with a damp sponge and rinse. Mild soap can be used if needed, although I try to keep the surface detergent free. (The Roul'pat is not dishwasher safe.)

This makes a fantastic gift for cooks who seem to have everything.

Works pretty well on "dry" dough like breads and cinnamon rolls. Moister doughs like pastry still require some flour. Cleans up very easily and doesn't slide around at all unless the counter underneath is wet.

Would have given it four stars if it was about 30% cheaper. If it truly was nonstick with every dough I would have given it five stars even at the current price.

Perfect for baking bread--I never again will need to scrape flour off my wooden table after kneading. I've never used it for pie crusts, since I always use two layers of plastic wrap for that, but I honestly can't imagine that _anything_ would stick to this. My bread dough has gotten much better since I don't need to use so much extra flour when I knead and shape it.

After receiving this product, I used it immediately with some yeast dough, then with some pie crust, and finally with some cookie dough. It worked beautifully. The product is large, so be sure you have enough space on which to lay it. It doesn't slip and clean up is a breeze. I would highly recommend the Roul'Pat.

The maker of this pastry mat claims that one can now roll out pie crust on this may without using flour. Well, I tried that and it doesn't work the crust sticks, so I have to use flour with it. However, the mat "sticks" to the counter which is very nice. When I have used a pastry cloth it always slides around so it's difficult to roll out the dough. Overall, I don't think it's worth the money.
