Ewen Silicone Heat Resistant Mat for Countertops - 23.6"x15.7" large Silicone Cooking Mat Placemat, counter baking mat, Kitchen Counter Mat for Table Protector, Baking, Oven Bottom, Crafts, Dark Grey

My wife got me a cool blender from IKICH a while ago. Sadly, I blent the gasket. Absolutely no response from the company by email, amazon and facebook (about 6-8 months after buying, supposed to have support for at least a year). So I found this, one of the thickest silicone mats that I could find, and cut a new gasket from it. Now I can use my awesome blender again!

I bought this to place under my countertop air fryer/oven. It fits well and contains crumbs and protects the oven from any water spills from a nearby sink. I'm using the second one under my microwave.

The mat I received does not look like the ones pictured on Amazon. Those lie flat and do not show large lumps and creases. My mat was packaged by rolling it up, then bending it into a U shape. It was then stuffed into a box. I waited for the mat to flatten out (it was on a flat surface), but it did not. Then I put a large piece of wood over it and added weights. 24 hours later, I took it out and it had not flattened at all. There are no instructions with the mat that explain how to repair it. I have been unable to find a way to ask the manufacturer for help. Wasted money. My fault for not returning it.

Does what it says and it’s a great size. I like the thickness of it. And it works well. It gets warm under it but definitely not hot. Thinking about getting a second one.

This mat was surprisingly thick in a good way. And it's also very large which is what I wanted.It's very durable feeling and I was able to put a hot dish on my wood table right from the oven with no problems using this mat (though I did fold it in half since the dish was extremely hot and I was paranoid).The reason for 4 stars is the non-slip backing. While this is a great concept, the back of this mat is very sticky when folded on itself. Almost feels like you'll tear it when pulling it apart. It also makes it impossible to slide once down, like if you needed to scoot it over to make room for something else or adjust the positioning. So just be sure you have it where you want it prior to putting anything on it!

Though it came folded up it has flattened out nicely. Stays put and color (gray) is as pictured.

I'm going to try this in a variety of uses. My countertop in the kitchen is the first. It's where we fix our lunch. The countertop while very nice is patterned producing a camouflage effect. Can't see the bread tie or crumbs or wet areas, spills etc. That's going to change. As it's portable we'll also try it next to the stove for messy cooking, again no camouflage effect. It's so easy to wipe up and keep clean. Whereas I often use a paper towel to clean up wet messes or spills I'll just use a wet dishcloth instead. Thus saving on paper towels. The top of the dryer is another good place to use it. Saves on scratches as I tend to set various items on the dryer. I'm sure that you'll be able to find various other uses.

This product did nothing to keep heat from toaster oven on counter. Even doubled, the heat came thru. Waste of money.
