calling all bakers...

help! i need some advice. i have several silpats that i use very frequently; sometimes 3-4 times per week. have you found a good way to store them that also keeps them easily accessible? for awhile i folded them up and fit them inside large ziplock bags. i liked feeling like they were clean from dust and attracting dirt. but then i learned that they are supposed to be rolled or flat when stored. they get too grimy inside my cabinets, so i'm looking for a new method. i've heard some people roll them and put them inside of an empty paper towel roll. that's the best i've heard so far but wanted to know if there was a better way out there that i didn't know about. any advice?

I keep mine in a tube that is similar to a paper towel tube. (It's a heavy duty one from my stash of kiddie art supplies.) I have no other ideas, but I hope you find something that works for you!

i did a little research and came up with nothing besides the paper towel tube. i read that a lot of people keep them in the empty space next your drawer organizer. i also read of someone wrapping them around a rolling pin.
