Advice on silicone bakeware to buy?

it's fine. There
are LOTS more serious hazards: the idiot behind you in traffic who
thinks he can drive and call at the same time; the Big Mac; hot oil on
the stove, etc. when I bake
formed loaves like challah. I love my Silpats.

Placing cookies close to the corners usually works, if not you use metal
strips to weigh down the edges (something like 20" x 3/4" x 1/16" steel,
commercially available at restaurant supply stored).

To be clear, the weight bars are used with parchment on commercial full
sized baking trays. No weights are needed for the Silpat/Exopat type
baking mats.

The flexibility of silicone bakeware is very useful in many cases when
removing the baked items. I'll note that the commercial grade silicone
bakeware I've seen is fiberglass mesh reinforced just like the
Silpat/Exopat mats, while the consumer grade silicone bakeware has no
reinforcing.

You have to compare cost over the life cycle of the item, in this case
the amount of parchment used at the nominal two uses per sheet of
parchment to the nominal baking cycles of a Silpat/Exopat type baking
mat. This might be 8,000 sheets of parchment = 1 baking mat or so.

Baking paper is a lot cheaper here than there, even if you convert the
money. All my decisions are not made based on cost, though. I like the way
a sheet full of whatever slides off a baking sheet and onto the oven rack,
and I like the way I can make up many sheets worth awaiting their turn in
the oven. Cookies aren't a very frequent phenomenon in my house, anyway.
