This is a flexible silicone mat with a grid of small raised pyramids across its surface. It sits inside a baking tray or on an oven rack. The pyramids keep food slightly elevated so hot air can circulate underneath.
Because the food is lifted, the bottom cooks without burning the way it can on a flat pan. Grease drains away from the food, which helps it crisp. When roasting meat, the mat keeps the food separated from the rendered oil so it isn't absorbed again.
The mat is made of 100% food-grade, BPA-free silicone. It can also be used as a trivet, toaster, pot or bowl holder, or drying rack. It works as a mini ice cube mold and as bakeware for dessert cupcakes and macarons. Before first use, wash it with water, place it on the grill or in the microwave for 5 to 10 minutes, then wash it again.
