Silicone Bread Sling Oval. Non-Stick & Easy Clean Reusable Oval Silicone Baking Mat for dutch oven. With Long Handles Sourdough Bread Baking mat tools supplier Liner, 2 pcs Gray

This set of two Silicone Baking sheets and Dutch oven lifter is normally used in the sourdough or other type of bread making process. The Dutch oven lifter is for baking a loaf of round bread in a Dutch oven. Most Dutch oven lifters are round and 8" in diameter...meaning it will only work in a Dutch oven with a round bottom at 8" in diameter or larger. My Dutch oven is round and 7" in diameter. This lifter is rectangular and less than 7" in one direction. You can lay this lifter down and the longer direction at a bit over 9" will just angle up on the sides of the Dutch oven...and fit much better overall for the most part.The cutout in the long handles is great for making sure you have a good grip on the lifter as you lift the dough up and place it in a baking pan or Dutch oven.The silicone sheets are a bit sticky/tacky feeling. There are no directions on how to clean them or store them without getting little bits of dust or hair or food particles on the silicone. Knowing how to store this would help a new baker immensely.

Well, these weren't a good fit for the small loaf pan I was planning to use them in. I'll upsize to a large loaf pan rather than not using a silicon sling. I have circular bread slings from the same company and those are a baker's dream come true for bread baked in the dutch oven.I store my bread slings in the pans I use them with since those pans rarely get used for other purposes.The round holes have helped prevent dropping bread off the sling. The slings are not slick, but putting a thumb or middle finger through the hole helps keep the oven gloves/mitts from moving off the sling while lifting and moving a heavy loaf.Angadona silicone mats always seem to be well designed and made better than average.

Happy to finally have gotten the oval shaped dough slings for my batard shaped sourdough loaves! Also, these are unique in that they have a hole in each end. I cannot tell you how happy I was to realized they store SO much easier when hung on an adhesive hook on the inside of my pantry door! I even cut holes in one end of my round dough slings that are a different brand without holes. The holes don't cause any issue at all when baking or removing as you always are using pot holders anyway but wow, it that a much more efficient way to store these dough slings. And after several uses, they have retained their new look. I'm sure after many, many bakings they will start to brown a bit, but so far, they still look brand new! This is a brand and style I will for sure stick with! Great quality!

I love that this comes in an oval 2-pack. I kept having to get the packs that have a round and an oval to build up a stock of these oval-shaped slings.These are great for lifting oval loaves into the pot after scoring, and they fit the openings of my oval bannetons perfectly.I'm happy with them.

I was impressed with how thick these are compared to other 2 sets I have. Much stiffer. Wanted for use in loaf pans. I like to make sourdough in loaf pans for ease of cutting uniform slices. These do fit my loaf pans. After trying fit, I realized I now need silicone strips to fit sides of pans to cut down on parchment waste. Haven't baked with these yet, but plan to use this weekend and will update with results.

We’ve been making our own sourdough bread from a starter and this is an amazing kit. Very helpful with baking and preparing the bread. 100% recommend this if you’re trying to save money and make your own bread at home!!

wife is getting really into the sourdough thing...and doing real well...we are both reaping the benefits of this...but she wanted to make the oval loafs...so these came in handy.yes...don't need these...but they do really help in the whole process...you know what they say...right tool for the right job...there are tons of the round one of these...but not so much on the ovals...saw these...picked them up...and they work just like the round oneshappy wife...happy life

It's a good quality sling but I wish it was a little slimmer so I could use it in my emile henry Italian loaf baker. I think I may try and trim it to fit better.
