Rubber/silicone cookware?

[BagCSC]

I think it is made of some sort of high temp silicone or something like that, but I have seen some cupcake pans that were pliable. Basically, you just pop the cupcake out. Has anyone used these? They look like they would be very helpful.

I have not used these, but I have seen them at places like Crate & Barrel and was intrigued.

I'll be interested to see if anyone has good experiences with them.

I also wonder if they're harder to clean.

I just purchased a couple fancy cake molds - but I haven't used them yet. They make it look real simple on TV - I'll let you know!

Aren't they like really expensive?

[Mama Mangia]

I didn't think so - I really liked the designs and I figured I would get a lot of use out of them. I'll find out when I try to remove my first cake from the mold! Then I may change my mind and say they were too expensive and a waste of time money and energy!

I thought they were a little pricey as well, but I suppose if you use them more than I would, that it would probably be a wise investment. Please keep us informed, because I just might have to get some.

I've heard that they're a pain to get in and out of the oven b/c they're so flexible (even though there are those metal racks for them) and that storing them they attract a lot of dust and static.

We have 2 silicone spatulas and we use all.the.time. They work great!

I have a square silicone pan and my husband put gooey enchiladas in it to bake and when we were finished the pan barely needed rinsing. The food tasted awesome and released from the pan without any sprays or butter. I was very impressed. The price is starting to come down on the silicone bakeware and I think if you just put the pans on a cookie sheet on something ovenproof and solid you will have great results as well. I think I will now purchase some cake pans and muffin pans.
