The reason I need a Silpat is because I have a new mission this year…Bake to Bless! I will be baking up a storm and this would definitely help me not BURN those yummy cookies and bars I plan to give away!
I burned a batch of granola and it stained my baking pan.
I burned my meringue by using parchment paper instead of a silpat.
Too many things. Mostly cookies. I use parchment paper now, but have always wanted one of these lovelies.

Cookies, cookies, cookies! I have developed a taste for the burnt ones, because…that is what I get! I use parchment paper, and that helps but after reading your posts this past year, I looked up Silpat and have put it on my wish list for my kitchen.
Winning one would be great! Choose me!
It’s hard to pick ONE thing that I have burned without a silpat… but the last thing I burned was nutella scones. It was terrible! I was so excited to make them, but I had to throw them all away

A couple years ago, I decided to try to impress a foodie guy I was dating and make French macarons, which he loved.
Why I thought this would work is beyond me… I had never made them before, I was working in a tiny Manhattan kitchen with an apartment-size oven that I knew (or should have known) never heated evenly, and I had told him I was going to make them before I did — which if nothing else confirms they won’t come out well.
It took me days of soaking and scrubbing to get the somehow burned AND goopy mess off my baking sheets.
Also, we called it off soon after that. Not, ostensibly, because of the botched macarons.
(Despite this mishap, I am actually a frequent and, if I do say so myself, quite good baker. And now live in an apartment with a new, working oven. I would love a Silpat!)
Also, I have followed (Twitter & Pinterest) and liked (Facebook).

making lactation cookies! brewer’s yeast and flax meal are NOT tasty when burned.
I burnt cookies!
I remember getting a Silpat for my wedding, and the first time I used it the cookies literally glided off straight to the cooling rack, like little angel cookies, perfectly baked. I was hooked, naturally.
I live in remote, rural Alaska and I can’t get things like parchment paper at our store. If I had a Silpat, I would make lengue de gato cookies, and then a batch of fancy eclairs!

I would make petite Vanilla Bean scones – recipe from The Pioneer Woman. I have been wanting to make them and a Silpat would be perfect for baking them!
Snowflake shaped sugar cookies. I didn’t get to do enough baking this Christmas.
i’d make chocolate and pink peppercorn macarons!
Can I say my burnt pan? Seems like the treats that come off of it are in better shape than the pan itself.

flourless chocolate cookies! what a mess
only last weekend i tried making some cranberries biscottis and burned them
these would def be great to have.
I never used to have this problem in my kitchen in England, but in my LA apartment when I make my favourite triple chocolate chip cookies no matter what I do, no matter how high up I place the cookie sheets, the bottoms of the cookies on the lower rack always burn slightly!

I’m not a good cook or baker. I would love to have a Silpat to bake chocolate chip cookies with my 2 daughters
Cookies!
Being that I am not the best baker, I don’t have any burned my “blank” stories because I leave the treat making to my BFF who uses Silpat! Maybe that’s her secret
haha but what I do make really well and I know would turn out even better with a Silpat is what i call Caprese bread broil. I take toasted sliced baguette topped with a drizzle of pesto olive oil, a slice of fresh heirloom tomato, a basil leaf, a hunk of mozzarella, splashed with balsamic vinegar, broiled for a few minutes… I can imagine a Silpat would take this type of dish to the next level!
I would love to try the Silpat! I have always wanted one! I would attempt to make a flour less chocolate cake
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win one!
Sugar cookies… Cheers to no more burnt hearts
Always the Chocolate Chip Cookies.
My chocolate peppermint cookies. It was a sad day.
The first thing I’ll make would definitely be cookies, just not positive what kind. Either Chocolate chip or my famous Anisette cookies.

I burn my peanut butter cookies pretty frequently. My cookie sheets are kind of old and a silpat would really help!
the last time i baked cookies they stuck to the cookie sheet i have never tried this product sure hope i win it
I’ve always wanted a Silpat. I have always loved baking and this year was my second year baking Christmas cookies. This year was worse than the first year. My cookies got stuck to the pan and several of them burned because I DIDN’T HAVE A SILPAT! My cookies ended up being cracked and crumbly :*(

You know I DO believe the reason I burnt my, usually moist and delicious, baked honey barbecued pork chops a couple of months ago was not because I was busy studying for my final but because I do not own a Silpat liner. Hopefully y’all can fix that. ; }

I definitely have burned a batch or two of chocolate chip cookies without a silpat. womp womp
I burned half of my peanut butter cookies… Because I only have one silpat and thought the other tray would be fine. Lesson learned!
Well every time I bake my baking sheet gets nastier and nastier! With the mat I wouldn’t have that problem!!
granola!
Ugh! When I first started cooking with a gas oven, I burned everything! Rolls, cookies… I would LOVE a Silpat.

Or macarons. I made lemon and matcha. Pistachio?
Some good old fashioned chocolate chip cookies!
What haven’t I burnt, is the question!! Ever since Martha S made these famous I’ve been curious to see what all the fuss is about!
I just friend a new recipe for chocolate chip cookies with a secret ingredient – shhhh – vanilla pudding! Burnt a batch & had to THROW THEM AWAY!! Heart breaking. This would change my baking world!
Wait did I miss the dead line??! It’s not midnight where I live!!! Sad.
Cookies, of course! Probably chocolate chip. I really am anxious to see how the Silpat can improve the taste and quality of baked goods. I also want to get a Silpain!
I burnt biscuits because I didn’t have a silpat!
This is easy. The first thing I’ll make is the same thing that I always burn. Coconut macaroons. A burnt macaroon? As Sweet Brown wisely said, “Ain’t nobody got time for that.”
Oh man, cannot tell you how many times I have burnt my cookies! Ugh the worst was when I was making confetti cookies & it was for a classroom treat, had nothing to show for it

It’s not that I typically burn things, but the non-stick, not having to buy parchment paper that’s a huge attraction for me with the Silpat. I’m craving pumpkin, even though it’s January so I’ll likely make this salted pumpkin chocolate chunk cookie recipe I found recently =)

I have one but typically have two cookie sheets going at once so it involves a lot of parchment. I would love a new one and scones would be the first thing I would bake for a girls’ brunch.

I will never burn the bottom of cookies again with the Silpat. Half the batch of Christmas cookies I made burned on the bottom because I ran out of parchment paper.
Lied them on FB – thank you so much for this opportunity! I adore Silpats!!!!!
Liked, rather. Obviously. Wow.
I made what I thought were the most brilliant cookies with my 3 year old niece, and she wanted to add caramels to them, you know the Kraft kind. So I gave her a handful chopped and she added them to the cookies we so lovingly made. Then we baked them, and knew they were done when acrid black smoke started billowing out of the oven… I have learned never to cook on un treated and unprotected cooking sheets!! Poor little niece was so disappointed, I had to give her chocolate! I did like on Twitter and Facebook, and Pinterest! Love your blog!!
I desperately need a Silpat to prevent the mess that roasting tomatoes results in.

In high school I decided to bake chocolate chip cookies for the first time. I used wax paper (instead of a silpat or parchment paper) and I burned the whole batch, the paper, the cookie sheet, everything. The smoke detector went off. Parents were screaming. Needless to say, there was a long recuperation period before I baked again.
Classic oatmeal cookies for sure.

I have a couple of Silpats (very long time since I’ve burned anything). My favorite use of them, though, is for pouring caramelized sugar onto them when making brittle and toffee.

Silpat has been on my Wish List for years. It’s one of those items that would make a perfect gift because I just can’t spend that much for a pan liner when I still have so many rolls of parchment paper in the pantry. I want a Silpat in every size!
ONE thing I have burned because I didn’t have a Silpat? There is not enough room in this comment. I can’t wait to make a million cookies for my husband (who can’t seem to get enough) with out burning the bottom! Our oven in our rental LOVES to burn the bottom while everything on top looks rosy and perfect. Xoxo
