Switched from parchment to silicone mats last month, never looking back

Used to burn through a roll of parchment every week and my croissants always stuck at the edges, then I grabbed a $12 mat at the local kitchen supply spot in Portland and it changed how I bake entirely. Anyone else notice their oven bakes different on a mat vs. paper, or am I just crazy?

Hold that thought... I went back to parchment after a month with mats because everything came out with a weird pale bottom, like the heat just wasn't hitting the same. Paper lets a little bit of air and moisture through, which matters more than people think for getting that crisp edge on a croissant. Glad it works for you, but my oven clearly disagrees with the whole setup.
