Silpats are great to use but trying to store the big, flat, floppy liners is a problem. Enter the humble papertowel tube--something you already have and won't cost you a penny. Simply roll the Silpat (short-end to short-end) and they are a perfect fit.
Tip: Roll the Silpat liner as tight as you can to make it easier to put in the tube. Once in the tube it will unroll itself for a tight fit.
Neat! I only have one and I never use it, so it's tucked away. What do you use yours for?
ReplyDeleteI do that with my Tupperware mat for rolling out sugar cookies and pie crust! It works great!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I recently bought my first two Silpats and I have been at a loss as to how to conveniently store those babies. You've just solved my problem! Thanks very much! :)
ReplyDelete@Bitterroot Mama, I mainly use mine for making cookies, instead of using parchment paper. I've also used it the couple time I've made toffee and it was perfect for that, too.
ReplyDelete@Sherrie, it's great, isn't it? :)
@Jane, You're so welcome! Mine used to flop all over the inside of my cupboard, but now they are under control :)
Great tip. I love my Silpat, but they are a pain to store.
