No half measures here: We went through several prototypes and more than 175 community comments to create our Five Two Good Measure Pastry Mat. This helpful baker’s assistant has plenty of work surface for your largest pasta sheets and puff pastry; plus, the nonstick silicone protects your countertops and goes right in the dishwasher. We also added diameter guides, ruled edges, and allll the conversion charts—liquid, weight, temperature, even butter!—for when your hands are too busy to check Google. And for the Food52 finishing touch, you’ll also find our expert pointers and a pie crust recipe by Erin Jeanne McDowell. All that’s missing is the dough.

Meet your faithful sidekick for all things baking—it might even become your go-to work surface.

Fuss-free, platinum-grade silicone: That nonstick material effortlessly releases sticky dough yet won’t slip around while protecting countertops. It’s also heat safe up to 550°F, hops happily into the dishwasher, and rolls right up for storage.

Diameter guides & rulers: No need for eyeballing—our mat has built-in measurement markers. Roll out a pie crust sized just right for your baking dish, or cut perfectly square brownies (in inches or centimeters, your choice).

Chock full of conversion charts: How many grams is 4 tablespoons of butter? What’s 400° Fahrenheit in Celsius? This handy helper has the answers, plus tables for liquids and weight.
