Cooking Machine Cushion Plate

A cooking machine cushion plate, commonly referred to as a silicone baking mat or baking sheet liner, is a flexible sheet used in cooking and baking applications, primarily within ovens and cooking machines.

Material

These plates are typically constructed from food-grade silicone, a polymer known for its high heat resistance, flexibility, and non-stick properties. Some variations may incorporate fiberglass mesh reinforcement for added stability and durability.

Purpose

The primary purpose of a cooking machine cushion plate is to provide a non-stick surface for cooking and baking. This prevents food from adhering to the cooking machine's surface, simplifying food removal and reducing the need for greasing. They also aid in even heat distribution and protect the cooking machine from damage.

Function

• Non-Stick Surface: The silicone material minimizes food sticking, enabling easy release and cleanup.
• Heat Resistance: Silicone withstands high temperatures commonly used in ovens and cooking machines (typically up to 400-500°F / 200-260°C).
• Even Heat Distribution: Silicone helps distribute heat evenly across the food surface, promoting consistent cooking.
• Protection: The plate shields the cooking machine’s surface from scratches, stains, and direct contact with food.
• Reusable: Unlike parchment paper or aluminum foil, silicone baking mats are reusable, making them an environmentally friendly option.

Usage Scenarios

• Baking: Cookies, cakes, pastries, bread, and other baked goods.
• Roasting: Vegetables, meats, and poultry.
• Deep Frying: Can be used as a base to catch crumbs and prevent sticking.
• Candy Making: Provides a non-stick surface for cooling and shaping candies.
• Food Preparation: Can serve as a clean working surface for rolling dough or shaping food.

Common Types

• Solid Silicone Mats: A single layer of silicone, offering flexibility and ease of use.
• Fiberglass-Reinforced Mats: Incorporate a fiberglass mesh layer for added strength and stability, preventing warping or shifting during use.
• Pre-Cut Mats: Available in standard baking sheet sizes for convenience.
• Custom-Sized Mats: Available for specific cooking machine models or unique baking needs.
• Perforated Mats: Feature small holes to allow for air circulation, promoting crispier results for certain foods like pizza or cookies.
