This product is incredible. Works as advertised. No clean up after biscuits, cookies, etc.
Rating: - These mats make cleaning up after baking a snap!
I've had my Matfer Exopat sheet for about two years now, and its still going strong! The sheet makes cleaning up after baking anything on a cookie sheet a snap, because stuff gets cooked onto the sheet--which is super easy to wipe off--instead of onto the cookie sheet itself.

Works just as well as I would expect the more expensive versions to be. That said, it's larger than my current cookie sheet; not exactly a problem with the mat, and it doesn't cause any issues baking. Make a note to wash it thoroughly before use; I only rinsed it a bit and it smoked a lot on the first batch.

anniebelle, (and others): I always measure to make sure mats and racks will fit my pans before I make a purchase, that's why the dimensions are given. This size is not designed for a standard cookie sheet or bun pan.
I'll give one to my sister and mother, along with a true 1/2 size pan, which you will not find ... Read More
Rating: - Exopat not great
I ordered this thinking it would fit into my cookie sheets. It is too big, so it stick out over the top. However, the cookies on it do brown nicely. Just wish it was 2" small all around. They say not to cut it, darn.
