Mine didn't come with directions & they don't fit my pans so I want to cut them- can I cut them in half? What if I just cut within the red border?

It says you're not supposed to, try turning your pan over so just the edges hang over

Personally I would never consider cutting it. I don't know what it would do but I know they stress not to ever cut anything on it with a knife. I would recommend buying a perforated pan (the one with all the tiny holes). I think those pans truly are what these silicon mats are meant to be used with. Sil-Eco makes a perforated pan that has big enough measurements for these mats for about $15 on Amazon. I have a similar one I bought elsewhere and the holes makes for some nice even baking.

Do not use scraper or brush to clean Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mats. Never cut the Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat or cut on it, there is a mesh reinforcement inside. Never use a cut or ripped Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mats as the fiberglass mesh material could migrate into the food.

Linda,I would never cut them, because they are made exactly like the SILPAT I have from 10 years ago. The instructions that came with the SILPAT said that once the silicone wears down to the fibers or the fibers show or you can feel them, you are to discard the pad. I assume the fibers are not safe to come in contact with food. Therefore if you cut them, the edge will degrade rapidly exposing more fibers. My SILPATs are in that state, the fibers feel like the fibers in fiberglass for auto-body repair. That's why I'm throwing out my old ones. Don't cut yours!! Buy yourself the proper pans, you'll be glad you did! Linda,I would never cut them, because they are made exactly like the SILPAT I have from 10 years ago.

Mine didn't come with anything either, I had a cheap, paper thin version, and COULD be cut to fit.. they got cut with the pizza cutter, (etc.) they continued to work fine, I got tired of stuff getting under them, so I tossed them, best of luck, with your issue...

I love it when people answer not knowing the full truth. Here is a pdf information sheet from the company: http://goo.gl/IaTsT It states very clearly that you should NOT cut it.

Linda,Its all silicone, so cutting it shouldn't be an issue. You can cut it however you like. Id trim it to fit just inside your pan.As far as instructions, its pretty straight forward. Bake whatever you want to on them. They are non stick. Brittle, caramel, cakes, whatever should come right off

NO, you cant cut them..they have glass particles inside of them and you can get hurt...and once they break IF they break you can't use them any more..also dont scrub them with anything rough...

Yes you cut them up but don't have to peel or core. I found the smaller you cut the item the less time you have to steam it.

I'm not sure. After I saw the defect on the bottom of the pan trademark and the warp, I sent them back. It didn't make sense to even consider trying to use the pans.

No. You can only make rounded corners. You'll need to cut and use a corner piece (sold separately) which is 4" in both directions to cover the Sharp cut pieces. We used several (start and end) and they worked great.

Another baker's suggestion: on 3 in pans do I put the wrap at the top of the pan or the bottom of the pan? 21 days agoI have only use them on 2 inch pans and they works great. I would assume for 3 inch pans you could try centering them between the top and bottom. Good luck and happy baking.21 days ago by Shirley F Hicks

I don't believe there was any instruction include to do this. Maybe contact Camp chef maybe they can help!

Hi, you have to cut around the sides, then cut the bottom and then around the middle. I never use grease so you have to cut the side, middle, and bottom. Hope that helps.

No, I cut round corners on each piece. But they do come in different thickness, 3ml, 5 ml and up. Use the 3ml and you should be fine.

Hi. Yes we can cut them. You would have to order 3 pieces of this size. Then send us a note with sizes you need. The shipping cost will be shown at checkout. Thanks

Yes. I cut mine in half with scissors to give a piece to a friend. Worked great.

Yes just cut them in half except for about a half inch so it stays together. You can scrape out the inside of the beans and add it in separately but it works fine without scraping too

I can't remember what the instructions said, but I would not put them in the DW. Either use parchment paper or clean immediately. They are a mess if oil or food hardens on them. they scratch very easily so you can't scrub hard. I did have some sticky oil on them I got it off by running VERY hot tap water on the pan. The pan is GORGEOUS and works well as long as you treat it right!

You have to cut the pieces out of a plastic sheet. I was not happy about that. I couldn't cut close enough on some and plastic was sticking out :/

You cannot cut it in half, from what I understand, bc of the magnets inside the board. You would end up with one unfinished open end. However, if I needed a custom board, I'd contact the manufacturer directly. This company is small and awesome, and I'll bet they help you out.

I'm not sure about them but I cut through mine while using a pizza cutter on fondant. I would do it very carefully.

I don't have those but I would think that would damage the pan. Also, I have a gas range so I'm no help. Sorry.

The pans are of the same size but the sides are not straight, it's at an angle. You need to trim the sides if you plan to make a layer cake.
