Title: Granite countertop vs Silpat for dough work
Post by: MEP on May 20, 2016, 08:59:41 pm

I have been trying to improve my pastry/dough skills and have made several Danish and puff pastry doughs of late.

Just wondering if it's better to work directly on the granite countertops (as I have been doing) or I should use a Silpat? Does anyone have a view?

I haven't done any pastry in a long time but I always found it better working directly on my kitchen top, the pastry stayed cooler and there was no slipping.

I don't have a granite bench top but wish I did. I would imagine the coolness of the granite would help a great deal.

Thanks Cookie and Wonder. I'll stick with working directly on the countertop I think.
