How SilSpa Works

Wash. Dry. Store.

A little structure for the floppy mat you love.

SilSpa holds your silicone baking mat in a stainless steel frame, making it easier to handle at the sink, position in the dishwasher, and put away between batches.

From flexible mat to easy-to-handle frame.

Watch SilSpa in action, then use the illustrated steps below as your quick reference.

Visual guide: slide the latch, open the frame, insert the mat, then close and latch. Position the closed frame upright with room for the dishwasher’s spray arms. The written steps below can be followed without sound.

Your first wash

Four simple steps.

SilSpa’s book-style cage accommodates silicone baking mats, including extra-large mats. The mat does not need to stay within the frame’s outline. Only put dishwasher-safe mats in the dishwasher, and follow both the mat maker’s and dishwasher maker’s instructions.

  1. 01

    Slide & open

    Slide the latch to release the frame, then open it like a book on a clear work surface.

  2. 02

    Position the mat between the halves

    Open the cage like a book and position the mat between its two halves. A larger mat can extend beyond the frame, like a large sheet of paper held in a smaller book. Keep the hinge and sliding latch free to operate; do not force the latch.

  3. 03

    Close & latch

    Bring the two sides together and slide the latch closed. Check that the mat is supported and the latch is secure.

  4. 04

    Position upright

    Choose a stable place in your dishwasher rack. Check clearance around the complete loaded caddy and mat, including any mat edges extending beyond the frame, the rack above, and the spray arms. Leave space around the mat rather than sandwiching it between dishes.

Between batches

Useful beyond the dishwasher.

AT THE SINK

Hand-wash with support.

The frame gives a floppy mat more structure while you wash. Follow your mat’s cleaning instructions and reach both sides; open the caddy whenever you need better access.

AFTER WASHING

Let it dry completely.

Stand the caddy securely where air can circulate. The mat can stay inside while drying. Only use a heated dishwasher drying cycle if your mat’s care instructions permit it.

IN THE CUPBOARD

Store it between bakes.

Once the mat and frame are completely dry, choose a stable storage spot with room for the whole loaded caddy and any extending mat edges. The caddy can support the mat upright beside your baking sheets.

A few useful answers

Before your first batch.

Does SilSpa replace washing the mat?

No. SilSpa supports and positions the mat; your cleaning method still does the washing. Follow your mat’s care instructions, and check for food or residue before putting it away.

Is a baking mat included?

The caddy-only option includes no mat. The caddy + one mat bundle includes one of each and saves $6 compared with buying them separately. See the purchase options.

Can I use an extra-large mat?

Yes. SilSpa is designed to accommodate extra-large mats; the cage’s outside dimensions are not a maximum mat size. Check that the loaded caddy and mat have enough room in your dishwasher and leave the spray arms clear. Use the fit guide.

What if I try it and it is not right for me?

Request a return within 30 days after delivery. Clean, gently used items and bundles are eligible. Read the satisfaction return policy.
