Silicon Muffin Pans

I ve never trusted silicon in heat after I read about plastic water bottles left in cars etc or was that all discredited I ve never gone into it so maybe completely wrong

A friend uses one. Her Yorkshire puddings are wonderful! The attached snip seems to use a huge amount of mixture! They are fine for cupcakes or muffins in paper cases too. It is best to stand the silicone tray on a metal one for stability.
Good luck!

Use them all the time and can recommend ‘masterclass’.

Thanks all, Masterclass muffin pan ordered.

I’ve used silicon loaf tins for banana bread. I bought them from Sainsbury’s.

I don’t like mine. True they don’t stick but funny texture to outside of baking - better with paper cases but that defeats the object.

I tried them, but soon went back to my papers in tins as I thought the silicone ones had a funny smell after a while. (I'm a bit fussy like that) 😕

I did have some but never really liked using them,. Not just muffin tins, but loaf tins, etc. When I was moving I gave them all to a Charity shop.
You do have to place these on a metal baking tray in the oven, and I found them quite difficult to clean.

I like mine. They are difficult to clean so I put mine on the washing machine and that seems to work well. ( I don’t have a dishwasher).

I love mine, but they’re a bit difficult to clean so I always use paper muffin cases inside the holes.

I'm another who has tried the silicon baking pans but I've gone back to the old ones. I don't like the texture of the outside of cakes/buns when they're baked and find cleaning them a faff. The only good thing about them was that they took up less storage space.

Actually I put mine in the washing machine. Leaving them on it probably wouldn’t achieve the same result.

I've got a loaf tin version in a very pretty pale blue - Jane Asher I think. They're not quite what they're cracked up to be and I line it anyway.

Well, I have just baked my first batch of muffins in the silicon pan. I sprayed it with Frylight before spooning the batter in. I don’t have any paper cases, but they’re fine without. Popped straight out of the pan once cool. Washed the pan easily in hot water, there wasn’t any residue to remove. Very pleased with the results so far

I use silicon muffin cases and am very pleased with them. I don’t add anything to the case before the mixture. The cakes pop straight out and the cases are easily washed.
