Does anyone have experience with them? I have a real problem keeping my metal ones looking good, I thought I'd try these.

Here they are.

I just hope they are better quality than the usual TT quality.  But there was another QVC line that sold boards just like this, except for the cut-out designs on them.  I purchased a set in red.

Well, the problem was two-fold.   For one thing, they smoked to high heavens.   OMG - set off the smoke alarms.  I was in a tizzy because, what with extreme tinnitis, that's a sound I NEVER want to hear.   I always say this (half) joking - I think I'd rather burn to death than hear that thing.

Anyway, the other problem is staining.   They stain terribly.  After trying them a few times I gave it up and just use them for a tray or something like that - but never again in the oven.

Okay, Chickenbutt, that's all I need to know.

I'm canceling my order.

One of the main reasons I was purchasing them is because I hate the stains on my metal ones.

I've never had the TT ones, but I've bought several other brands over the years and am not very impressed with any of them.  I've never had them smoke, but they never really seem clean afterwards.   Pan liners are much better, they look like all those BBQ mats they sell on Q.

I'm a big fan of TT I have a lot but you couldn't give me another silicone liner/pan.

Well, that's the third item I canceled in about a month's time.  Do you think they're going to blacklist me? I heard that happens.

Hey House Cat!  BTW, I hope this finds you and your dad well.

Well, I haven't purchased THAT brand, just to be clear.  But I'd be willing to bet the farm that these were made by the same company that made the other ones - Technique, IIRC, was the brand they put on them.

There were a lot of complaints about THOSE staining and smoking.  For me, smoking was the big issue.  I keep my oven clean, so I was certain it wasn't that.  The smoking was really quite extreme.

I understood that, CB. I trust your instincts. Thank you. I was looking for a solution, not another problem.

Dad is status quo. Thank you for asking :-)

Silicone also picks up odors which are impossible to get rid of.  Don't bake anything stinky on them.

Oh yeah, I forgot that part.

I do love silicone for SOME things but this just wasn't one of them.

I've had a couple of those silicone boards for years and quickly learned I didn't like them for anything in the oven.

Don't laugh, but one of them is being used as a backsplash behind the bathroom sink, so my husband's shaving cream and faucet-splashing don't  start to rust the brand-new mirror behind the sink.

Can't think of a thing I would use them for around food.
