Extra Large Silicone Mat 78.7 in x 15.7 in - Countertop Protector

In this review of the extra large silicone mat, the bottom line is simple: this translucent, food grade silicone sheet is best for makers and cooks who need a large, heat resistant surface that protects counters and cleans up easily. The mat's main selling point is its sheer size and flexible, high temperature resistant material, which lets it serve as a baking surface, craft protector, or appliance landing pad without sticking or deforming. It is a practical choice when a single, cut-to-fit protector is preferred over many small placemats.

Key Features

• Food grade material: Made from BPA-free, odorless liquid silicone so it can come into direct contact with food and feels safe for kitchen use.
• Extra large area: The 78.7 in by 15.7 in sheet covers wide counters or work tables and can be trimmed to fit custom layouts.
• High temperature resistance: Rated from -60F to 500F, the mat protects surfaces from heat of appliances such as air fryers, toasters, and microwaves.
• Anti-slip and shock absorbing: The silicone reduces vibration and keeps appliances in place when the smooth side is down.
• Easy to clean and restore: Nonstick surface wipes with soap and water and can be flattened by boiling to remove wrinkles.
• Resilient and reusable: Extra thick, tear-resistant silicone resists deformation and peels away spilled resin, paint, glue, or clay without damage.

Who It's For

This mat is ideal for home bakers, craft hobbyists, and small workshop users who need a single, large protective surface for baking, resin pours, clay work, or appliance placement. The ability to cut the sheet makes it useful for covering islands, shop tables, or long countertops.

It is less appropriate for someone who wants decorative placemats or fitted silicone liners for multiple small trays; buyers seeking stain-proof color-fast surfaces might also want to consider alternatives, since some customers reported mixed results on stain resistance.

Pros & Cons

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this mat touch hot cookware?
Yes; the silicone is heat resistant up to 500F and suitable as a protection layer beneath appliances and warm pans.

Will paint or resin stick permanently?
The surface releases most spilled resin, glue, paint, and clay so you can peel them off, but heavily pigmented stains may be noticeable over time.

How do I remove wrinkles after unrolling?
Boil the mat or pour boiling water over it and lay flat to restore a smooth surface.
