Silicone Dish Drying Mat 21 x 18 inch Extra Large Grey

Extra-Large Silicone Drying Mat

This 21 by 18 inch silicone mat provides a spacious surface for air-drying pots, pans and utensils in a single layer. It replaces several smaller mats and accommodates a full dish rack alongside cookware. The food-grade silicone construction suits everyday kitchen use and resists stains from common ingredients.

Heat Resistance and Drainage Limits

The material withstands temperatures up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing the mat to double as a trivet for hot bakeware. Wide raised ridges promote airflow beneath dishes so water evaporates quickly, yet the mat has no drain spout and cannot channel large volumes of liquid directly into the sink. Standing water will remain on the surface until wiped or evaporated.

Simple Placement and Common Issues

The flexible sheet unrolls flat on any countertop and requires no tools or fasteners; it can be trimmed with scissors if a custom fit is needed. Deep ridges may trap food particles and require a brush or dishwasher cycle to clean thoroughly. The soft silicone can shift when heavy pots are slid across it, and sharp knives will score the surface if used as a cutting board.
