1. Repeated multiple uses and washing cycles do not affect non-stick properties of the mat. 2. Our pastry mat lays perfectly flat on countertop, sheet and other surfaces. 3. Does not move as you roll out the dough. Kneading dough is a full bless. 4. Making a pie or pizza crust from scratch, rolling out cookie dough or homemade biscuits it's simple and neat! 5. Keeps your workstation clean and forget about scrapping dough or fondant from work surface.
