Cooking with Chocolate needs to be done carefully if you don’t want to spoil the textures of what you are making. having to grease a baking sheet can often give your cookies an odd texture. I get round this by using the Silpat 11-5/8-by-16-1/2-Inch Nonstick Silicone Baking Mat
I particularly like this one because it is made of silicone and fibreglass so is durable and easy to care for. I have been using mine for ages - the manufacturers say it can be used up to 3,000 times! Whilst I haven’t used mine that much - it has certainly been in and out of the oven, freezer and microwave with no problems.
It can be used at temperatures up to 480ยบ F. It can be used for things other than chocolate - pastries, caramels - anything that might stick to a pan. It just needs to be washed in warm water and only takes a few seconds as absolutely nothing sticks to it.
