Silicone Bakeware


Have you tried any of the silicone bakeware yet? Since it first came out I've been playing a little with it. Some I found that I love, others lasted about a month in my kitchen before I got rid of it.

I've discovered that I wasn't fond of the type that you actually bake in. I tried several varieties of these and although they cooked evenly and nothing got stuck, I didn't like the way they didn't come clean. I could never get the gunked on cooking spray off. I tossed them.

What I do love are the utensils! My personal favorite is the little spatula. It's only about 7 inches long but I use it for everything that I can spread or scrape for small places. The little brush is handy as well. The whisk, I'm not a fan of, but Brian likes it for making his pudding. I prefer my nice, top quality chef's whisk that is made from stainless steel. The little heart shaped muffin cups are super handy. They are great for saving broth, sauces, frosting, and gravies that I can't use up before they go bad. I just pour the above into them, freeze, then remove, and bag. The individual muffin cups are fine to bake in because they clean up  nicely.

Have you tried any of them? Do you have any favorites?
