Although I have successfully gotten piecrust from the counter to the pie plate many a time before I ever received the gift of a Silpat, I always roll my crust out on a lightly floured square Silpat mat, because I may then either roll the crust up in it to chill or freeze for later, or invert the pie plate onto the Silpat and crust, then turn the whole thing over, using the Silpat to hold the crust, and the crust falls neatly into the pie pan in one movement, centered and all. Coincidentally, the square boundaries of my Silpat mark just how large my crust should be, and of course, the pastry doesn't stick to it. As a plus, the Silpat is my nonstick baking surface for general purposes. No one-trick ponies in my kitchen!-COLLAPSE
