How do I clean silicone baking mats?

Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Most are dishwasher safe on the top rack. Avoid abrasive scrubbers. For stubborn grease, make a paste of baking soda and water and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Do silicone baking mats affect baking time?

Slightly. Silicone insulates the bottom of your baked goods, which can add 1-2 minutes to baking time and produce softer bottoms. For crispier results on items like pizza, use a bare stone or steel instead.
