Hi! I have been making hard candy for many years at Christmas time. I always pour it into a greased jelly roll pan. I was wondering if any of you have poured it onto a Silpat or other Silicone type mat? Did you have any problems with it sticking? Thank you!

Thank you! I have always used parchment paper in the past, but it still kind of stuck to it so I resorted to cookie sheets, but it is more difficult to score that way. I think I will try it and see, if it doesn't work, it is just one batch of candy wasted and I will have a new silpat for cookie baking. LOL
Thank you!
I do all my sugar work over my Silpat. It's fantastic! Nothing sticks! If I have extra sugar leftover in the pot, I pour the excess onto the Silpat so I can easily pick it up when it sets.
Just remember that you cannot use sharp cutting tools on it.
Edited to add: If you're concerned about the temperature difference without the sheet pan, just put your Silpat in the sheet pan.
