Can anyone recommend a LARGE (at least 30"x36") silicone mat for rolling fondant? I am hoping to get my home kitchen licensed and think this will help. Thanks!
I use a large piece of vinyl that I bought cheap at Joanne's (or any fabric store).
It is heavy weight, cleans up easy and I can put my wilton sizing mat under it and nothing slides. I bought a yard for like $4 (and it is 52 inches wide) HTH
I was going to recommend the vinyl too
I have some smaller silicone mats and they're not nearly as nonstick as the vinyl.

Hi folks, I love your idea, but I thought I would throw this out there: I don't think Vinyl would be considered food-safe. Don't want you to get docked for something like that. Try using maybe a food-grade plastic or just investing in a large silicon mat. I got one your size, approx 30X36" for about $45. It is wonderful... just dont use a pizza wheel or knife on it.
This is the one I use (Ateco brand) and I love it. I see that it is currently out of stock but if you google it, there are other sites that sell this same one.

The vinyl that we're talking about is the same vinyl that's used for restaurant tablecloths.
I bought a Ateco matt at the ICES Convention this year. I'm not sure how wide it is, but I know it is atleast 3ft long. It is a blue one. They were rolling fondant on it as well as using it for working with sugar.
Thanks for the input everyone! I've seen the Ateco blue one which I think would be my default but was hoping for something a little bigger. loriana - what brand do you have/where did you get it? As for the vinyl, does it have that felted backing? Wouldn't that slide around? I must be thinking of the wrong stuff but will definitely head to Joann's to check it out. Maybe I could get a little extra for a Halloween costume lol!
the vinyl I use is clear that is why I can see my wilton mat thru it. I lay it on my kitchen table or counter top and it does not move at all. When you first buy it, wash it down really well with a small amount of bleach and hot water.
I think they are refering to the clear vinyl, not he actual tablecloth material.
the clear comes in several thicknesses & I know Hobby Lobby sells it.
