Just wash up in the bowl as per normal most things just wipe off anyways

I'm only a recent convert to baking parchment, which I love;
how does silpat compare other than the obvious (no need to
wash parchment)...

that is what I do..in the sink, dry with a paper towel then air dry for
awhile and put away.

I have a silpat question now also - my son made a container of xmas cookie
dough ingredients at school - there is no fat in the recipe and instead it
said to cook it on parchment paper, I assume to keep it from sticking.
Could I instead just bake them on the silpat? Adding butter to the recipe
would be difficult I see since all of the dry ingredients are already in the
jar - flour, sugar, etc..

I prefer to us Silpat under things like meatloaf that are going to be large
and wet, other wise, I use parchment Silpat can be a good surface for
rolling out or kneading sticky dough and for high temperature sugar work. .

Under meatloaf! I would never have thought of that. I tend to think
of silpat and parchment only in terms of baking cookies, etc.

This is why I like reading RFC... :-)

It's non-stick, stands up to high temperatures, and is
washable/reusable. Try putting your hot pralines on parchment and see
how it goes. Of course you can't do an en papillote dish with it
because it doesn't fold.
