Are silicone baking mats safe?

Flexible, nonstick, and reusable, silicone baking mats are fashioned out of fiberglass and food-grade silicone, a non-toxic polymer mostly made from silica (sand). According to the FDA, silicone doesn’t react with other materials or release hazardous compounds when heated, thus making it non-toxic and food safe.
