So I would pass on these mats and find better ones that actually handle 450 OK.
Without a spray, the cookies stick for sure, which is a pain in ass to clean, and leads to deformed cookies
using a non-stick spray for dozens of batches leads to old non-stick spray leftovers that forms this disgusting gum-like residue on my pans
I dont just use my baking mats for baking; I also put them under a roast so that drippings are easy to just pour directly into a gravy boat or onto a pan for making a sauce
baking mats are a top 5 accessory in my baking arsenal. sifter, good mixer, accurate scale, and thermapen (to calibrate oven) are the other four.

Still... they never seem to get squeaky clean. They do hold up though and are a lot cheaper than they used to be.
I sure don't need to be eating things cooked on something that may be sub-par.

They have been absolute beast for me; my first set only wore out because I washed one of the mats too hard, but the others are going onto their EIGHTH year of service. I bake with them on an average of twice a month (but in reality, its like 25 times in June).

I rapid fire bake one batch of cookies after another and dont have time to deal with sticking *anything*

I've got the golden color nordicware pans from costco and haven't had any sticking BUT I have experienced deformed cookies
I was thinking about using it under a roast but I would have to now wash the pan AND both sides of the silicone mat

For baking cookies, I dont have to wash the pans *at all*, and for the mats, I just wipe clean with a soapy sponge (dont use the rough side of the sponge or you risk tearing the silicone...in time...over several years), then let it dry on a rack or on my patio.
The sheets also prevent BURNING of the underside of the cookies better than using the pans alone. I did get Airbake sheets a few years ago which prevented the burning, but they eventually became deformed because of the air gap in those sheets.
My sheets are so heavilly used that they are more or less coffee-colored now, but they are totally clean, durable, and ready to go again. In June, I bake about 300 cookies in batches of 12, and I have two of these mats (and pans) in rotation, with very little rest.
But this is for the Mio branded mats...I cant speak for these Amazon ones. But you do get four in a pack at Costco, while you get less than that with this deal.
By that time, they started getting really gross and hard to clean.
I concluded that I was just going to keep using aluminum foil for greasy jobs and parchment paper for cookies and rolls. I don't have to clean those and the fact that I had to clean the silicone with a lot of soap and water before made me think that, when you count all the manufacturing costs to the environment, the silicone pads aren't really doing that much good for the environment and they're wasting me a lot of time and only were worth about a roll or two of parchment paper.
