When choosing a non-stick mat, you should pay attention to two main points.

• Thickness quality rug is 200 microns. In this case, the surface itself will be sufficiently heated, and the heat will evenly spread throughout the product. And also with this optimal value, there will be no problems with placing it on the grill: the mat will lie down smoothly without curved edges.A thin carpet will last a little, it will heat up too quickly, which leads to burning of food.
• Dimensions. The ideal option is to match the size of the coating to the size of the grid surface. This will give the opportunity to cook several dishes at once, therefore, will help save time.

It is necessary to know the basic rules of operation of the product.

• Before first use, it is necessary to conduct heat treatment of the non-stick coating. You need to put it in the oven for two hours at a temperature of +230 degrees.
• After the primary heat treatment, the product should be put on a baking sheet or rack. The surface must be free of roughness, rust, carbon. After that, you can begin to use the mat as intended.
• Do not use on the rug piercing and cutting objects.
• It is recommended to use alkali-free agents when washing the non-stick coating. Alkali destroys the surface of the rug.
• You should not cook food containing products such as honey or jam, because it reduces the life of the rug.

Upscale non-stick silicone coatings allow housewives, who monitor their health, to cook any baked goods without a drop of fat and oil.Thanks to the silicone surface, even burnt food will not stick to the mat. And with the help of silicone, the heat will evenly spread over the surface of the mat, and consequently, the food too.

When using a non-stick coating, you no longer have to use a ton of flour for baking, since the dough will not stick to the surface. On some rugs you can find markup for rolling out the dough. This will help housewives and owners prepare cakes for baking the same size. The unusual design of the culinary product can give a pattern on the surface of the rug.

It is very simple to use a rug. Simply lay it on the desired surface (grid, baking tray).
