I want to thank everyone who suggested long resting for macarons (2–3 hours). Two batches of macarons and not a single crack! 🫶 I guess that really was the issue. I think I learned my lesson, and there will be no more volcanoes or cracks — heh( at least i hope so🙏🏻).
One last question: I noticed that some of my macarons don’t have a perfectly round shape and skirts. I think it might be because of the parchment paper.
What do you use — a silicone mat, parchment paper, or a Teflon sheet? One blogger suggested the last option. I tried to use teflon mat but macarons never develop a skirts on it.

I love the mat in this set.

Resting 2-3 hrs sounds nuts. I’m in a dry environment so over drying would create issues. In humid environments macs can actually absorb moisture, so that would also be an issue. Glad it worked for you.
I use parchment because I hate washing the mats, lol. That being said, if you transition, just be aware that you might have to change your procedure a bit since mats tend to insulate from the bottom.
