That $60 silicone mat I bought after ruining 3 batches of macarons in one weekend

Gave up on parchment paper after the fifth stuck disaster and the mat paid for itself in saved ingredients by the second use.

Honestly, did you notice a big difference in the actual texture of the shells on that first try? I'm curious if the mat changes how the feet rise compared to parchment. Tbh I'm tempted but worried it'll mess with my oven setup.

Honestly the first batch I did with the mat, the feet came out way more even. My oven runs hot on the bottom so parchment would always get those lopsided crowns. The mat spreads the heat way more gentle. Plus no more cracked tops from pulling off the paper too early.
