Just the other day I thought i would try the new silicon bakeware, so I bought a loaf silicon mould, well I baked my cake and i must be honest it made baking a pleasure, so much so i went out and bought some patty cake moulds and they too were so good to use, and so easy to get the cakes out as the silicon is so flexible and ever so easy to clean...anyone else into silicon bakeware...

I must admit, I have been wary about using the silicon bakeware, not fully understanding how they would work in the oven, but you have inspired me to go out and buy some lilaclady! Thank you for giving me the confidence!

yes they were nice as I left them in the oven for the time it said on the packet but with these you don't have to leave them in for quite as long but the outer edges of the cakes were a little more baked than normal and i liked it that wake was a bit more like the top, they were beautiful...

I bought my sister a cupcake gift set that included a silicon cupcake pan. I know my brother has a couple of silicon bakeware pieces and he likes them a lot. I haven't used any yet but they have intrigued me.

That's funny you mention this. My mother and I were out shopping last week and she saw the silicon for the first time. SHe wouldnt buy one because she didnt trust it. Now I showed her your rave reviews and she's going to buy one today. Thanks.dl

You know Im glad that you told me this because I have been wanting to try them for some time but I just was not sure how safe they were but I know they say they can stand up to even higher temperatures then most bakeware but I just didn't know. I know Teflon was so big but then we found out it was just unhealthy and thats why Im nervous about it but I just have not gotten around to doing my research and so far have not heard anything, thats always a good thing. How long does it take for them cool after baking? Do they get really soft when hot? I think thats good news that their easy to clean, Ill definately pass that on.

They are solft all the time, you can scrunch them up and they just fall back into shape, they don't take long to cool down at all, almost straight away once out of the oven, the bigger round one you just have to wait till it is cool a little and fold it back from the cake...so easy..and i am no cook...and they cook a little faster than the normal tins and such...i have read up on them they are supposed to be safe, i was worried about that part of it but it seems to be ok...

Oh yes I love our silicone baking pieces. I even have silicone baking sheets like cookie sheets with a silicone covered metal edging (from QVC). I also have muffin pans in silicone, a bundt pan, and a square pan. they are wonderful.

I think they are a great idea but I'm not into baking so it would be wasted on me. It's very expensive over here. A single mould $6 - $9 and regular sized cake and muffin moulds costing up to $20 and over.

Yes, I bought some of the tiny cupcake ones and was really leary on getting them. But for my grand-daughters birthday party she was having a kind of tea party with real tea and tiny cup cakes and tiny muffins of all kinds. It was the only muffin moulds they had. So I bought 4 of them. I was sure glad I did. I use them a lot now. We bake many times with them, the children and me.

I've looked at them a few times in the kitchen ware shops, but have never got round to buying any.I donn't really bake much at the moment, but I have to admit the bright red muffin ones look great.

I have never used them. I see Silicon baking pans in the store all the time. I have been tempted to buy them several times before, but I didn't know if they would be worth the cost. I think a cake pan size one would come in handy around here even though I rarely bake cake. I could use it for other things.

I don't know that these silicone bakeware is the same thing I have but I think it might be. I have those rubbery ones that are red and supposedly you don't need to grease them as nothing is supposed to stick to them. Are we talking about the same thing? I bought mine at Canadian Tire. I got the cake one and the muffin one. It came as a set and I paid $29.95 for them. If those are the same ones we are talking about, I hate them. Everything sticks to them' and so when I take out my cake or muffin I end up with just a pile of mess. I tried the next time I used them, greasing them and it was a little bit better but still nothing beats my tin ones. I will stick to them from now on. I am sorry I bought these other rubber ones. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Your friend Chris
