PROs & CONs

    Glad Baking Paper    

+ Bottom surface cooks better.

+ Never stick to the Baking Paper.

+ Standard throughout the whole batch.

- Free hand pipe your Macarons into 'almost-similar' sized circles.

- May need template to get uniformed size circles throughout.

    Lekue Silicone Mat   

+ Uniformed size circle Macarons.

+ Bottom surface is shiny.

(Both good & bad. Bad coz the bottom shells look like it won't absorb the fillings.)

- Bottom surface not consistent. Some stick to the Mat.

(Half of it suffers from what looks like an aftermath of an upside down volcanic eruption in Indonesia)

- Issues with heat.

(If increasing baking time solves the uncooked bottom issue, top surface will take it's toll, suffering from some slight burn)
