Beth, Jane and Mike are talking in the kitchen. They are discussing silicone baking mats. What surprising facts did Mike discover about silicone cookie sheets?
(Food-Beverage-News.Com, July 03, 2015 ) Northridge, California -- Northridge, CA – Using a silicone baking instead of baking with a conventional cookie sheet and liner can reduce fat and calories by up to 100% of what might be added according to a new video released by Phrik and Phrak, LLC. In a standard batch of chocolate chip cookies, that translates to over 200 calories and 23 grams of fat that can be eliminated.
The company, which manufactures a silicone baking mat under the brand name PhoodieTools™ says the video was produced to make consumers aware of the health benefits of using silicone mats for baking.
According to Larry Parker, co-founder of Phrik and Phrak, "We have been touting the cost savings of using our baking mat for years now. But customers have been telling us what they really value the most is they can eliminate or reduce the amount of butter or oils they use when baking with our product." Parker says the video was produced to capture all the benefits of cooking with silicone including the health benefits of reduced fat and calories, easier clean-up, more even cooking as well as the cost savings benefits.
Made from a woven fiberglass mesh and Food Grade FDA approved Silicone, such baking mats replace the need for disposable parchment paper and aluminum foil. "There is a real ‘green' benefit here as well" Parker says.
Manufacturers of similar mats, including Silpat™ claim that the special surface eliminates the need to grease cookware, thereby removing the unneeded fat and calories just to prevent baked goods from sticking to the bottom of the cooking surface.
According to Parker, The Original PhoodieMat™ is the only silicone mat on the market that includes a patented storage device to keep the mat clean and safe and also comes with a lifetime guarantee.
