I’m a keen baker, and whenever I have any spare time you’ll find me in the kitchen, whizzing up a treat with my KitchenAid. So, it might be a surprise that I’ve never used a silicon baking mat before. In fact, I only discovered them over the holidays when one of my sons decided he wanted to have a go at making croissants! That in itself took me completely by surprise.
Rather than sticking with my trusted chopping board, which is my go-to surface for kneading dough and rolling pastry, he was keen to up his professional prowess with some proper kit. So, after presenting me with an online link to the Lazymi silicone baking mat (£9, Amazon.co.uk) it wasn’t long before it arrived in the mail and he could get baking.
