rubber bakeware

when should i come over and taste it?

p.s. i have no idea about the bakeware. I do have muffin pans like that and they work the same way as regular.

Here you go, annemarie: Smartware Silicone (not rubber!) Bakeware Instructions

I've had and used some silicone pans, but I have to say I'm not a big fan. They are great for candymaking but I haven't loved them for baking. You have to have a sort of rack to put them in, or they're too floppy to wrangle in and out of the oven (in muffin pan form, for instance). They are easy to wash, though. That seems to be their biggest virtue to me.

Are they really rubber or a silicon? I have a silicon bunt pan that I love. Even though it is a bit floppy like Marsha said, it is completely non-stick and cleans up like a breeze.

How did your cake turn out and what do you think of your pan now?

I'm quite sure they're talking about silicon, Carla. Baking in rubber, which has a rather low melting point and a distinctively stinky aroma when it gets hot, would be a very strange thing to do.

It's good stuff, Annemarie! The only consistent complaint I've heard about silicone is that baked goods, especially things like muffins, don't brown up as well as in metal. But that's a pretty minor gripe when you consider how easy the cleanup is!

carla, cake came out delish. after reading what marsha sent, they are silicone. i had never seen them before. when my mom passed away, after cleaning her house out, i saw them in a box and had no clue to what they were made of. there was no directions. they were wrapped in plastic and had never been used. one pan, a big square one came with it's own sturdy wire mesh holder. i like them. cake comes right out of the pan. i don't need to use any pam spray. i like the way they wash up easily. i'd would use them again.
