In professional baking, consistency matters - and so does having tools that can keep up.

Reusable silicone baking mats provide commercial kitchens with a dependable alternative to disposable baking liners.  Made in France, Matfer Bourgeat Exopat® Baking Mats combine a nonstick silicone surface with a woven fiberglass core for reliable performance across baking, proofing, and everyday prep.

Commercial baking equipment needs to stand up to repeated use.  Exopat® creates a reusable baking surface built for long-term performance.

Each mat is rated for more than 3,000 uses, helping operators reduce their reliance on disposable liners while getting more use out of one dependable kitchen tool.

  • Less reliance on disposable baking liners
  • Reduced waste over time
