Can we talk about those fancy silicone baking mats I fell for?

I spent about $60 last year on a set of those high end silicone baking mats from a well known kitchen brand. Thought they'd be my go to for cookies and everything else, but they just don't brown the bottoms the same way parchment does. My chocolate chip cookies came out pale and soft on the bottom, which is fine for some folks but I like a little crispness. I tried adjusting oven temps and bake times three different ways, still didn't get the results I wanted. Now those mats just sit in my drawer while I'm back to buying $4 rolls of parchment paper. Has anyone else had a similar issue with silicone taking away that oven spring or browning?

Whoa, you spent $60 on those things?

Right, I dropped $60 on a pair of wireless earbuds last month. Honestly, my old ones kept cutting out and I just wanted something that actually worked for once. Ngl, I felt a bit stupid doing it but they've been solid so far, no complaints really. Tbh, sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and spend the cash.
