The key to preventing sticking is to make sure your pastry mat is clean and completely dry before using it. You can also lightly grease the mat with cooking spray or vegetable oil before spreading the brittle mixture.
Yes, a silicone pastry mat is a great option for making peanut brittle. It is heat-resistant and non-stick, making it easier to remove the brittle once it has cooled.
The cooling time will vary depending on the thickness of your brittle and the temperature of your kitchen. On average, it takes about 30 minutes for peanut brittle to cool and harden on a pastry mat.
It is not recommended to cut the brittle directly on the pastry mat, as it may damage the mat. It is best to transfer the cooled brittle to a cutting board before breaking it into pieces.
To clean your pastry mat after making peanut brittle, soak it in warm soapy water for a few minutes. Then, use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to gently scrub off any residue. Rinse with clean water and let it air dry before storing.
