Cooking in an oven can be very droll
When using an oven that turns delicate dishes into rock lumps
Yearning for a way to come up with a solution
As visions of cookies, steak fries, and broiled meats dance in my
head.
Alas, the stark reality of clean-up leads to meals on the stove-top or grill.
Is this how it is to be until the newest, most high tech kitchen
appliance is purchased?
Nay! All I ever needed was a Silpat to make healthy food with only a drop of oil.
Oh, wonderful, slick Silpat with your weaved underside.
How do you make each dish cook so evenly?
Even during times of multi-tasking forgetfulness,
Silpat graciously forgives as foods with crusty bottoms and gooey tops
Become evenly cooked and delicious once more.
Truly something so magnificent in the oven must take hours to soak clean.
Ne'er fret, overworked homemaker!
Simply wipe off after a quick rinse in the sink.
After it dries simply roll it back up.
Patiently the next delectable meal awaits!
I've always loved to cook, but I've been held back at times due to old ovens that turn brownies into bricks or leave permanent crusty residue on pans.
Well, with my silpat mat, no more.
What initially looks like a basic cooking pat becomes a new love as food cooks evenly, making clean-up a cinch.
I've used it from the basics like cookies to more adventurous tries with roasted vegetables and fries. Everything cooks evenly instead of past woes of having overdone bottoms in order to have the tops cooked.It makes me enjoy my oven again, as I now trust it to make sweet, slightly tempermental desserts to the more hearty, savory casseroles.
And after it cooks everything evenly, everytime? Clean-up is embarrassingly easy as I lightly wipe it off.
Yes, dear silpat, we are a match made in heaven as I combine your even cooking with my desire for homemade dishes.
