ring mould cake dont rise
- I have a silicon muffin pan and have no problem. But in the ring mould the cake does not rise and texture of cake is 'dense and moist' Any advise on what I'm doing wrong

- I bought and used the silicone muffin liners. Well, at the done time, the bottoms of the muffins were browned, but the outer sides of the muffins were just pale.

Silicone Bundt
- My cake was raw on the inside. The brand I used was "good cook" flexform silicone bakeware. It looked fine on the outside. I was mortified when I took it to work! I tried again - same results.

Silicone pans and sheets
- I use silicone cookie sheets, but always put them on a regular pan for stability. They definitely don't require any additions such as parchment paper, etc. I am not so fond of silicone cake pans although I put them on a metal sheet as well. Although the idea is not to grease the pan, I do but use Baker's Spray instead of a more oily substance such as margarine, butter, etc. I am going to try out a silicone mold I have for Easter eggs. So far I have used it to shape my fondant eggs, but once again took the precaution of using spray.

smoking silicon
- I tried a silicon baking sheet, but it started to smoke in the hot oven. It's President's Choice brand from Superstore, and says it is for food, but I don't trust my food to something that is going to smoke, and possibly be releasing chemicals into my food. Has anyone else had this problem?

I love my silicone molds... but:
- PROS: > They cook my cheesecakes really well. > No need for greasing. (I dont need to grease my molds, just freeze the cheesecake, and it pops out nicely. ) CONS: > despite the number of washes, i couldn't take the cinnamon smell out from the last baking session. > if i dont dry them out well (and that is difficult to do, cause im lazy), i get waterspots on my beautiful red molds :( how do i take them out? argh... and no answer in the interweb about it! :((

Thumbs Up on silicone mini muffin pans
- I use the mini muffin pans for portion control and baking is a breeze. If you are using the pans with dough with lots of butter such as in pecan tart shells, you do not need to grease the pan. If you bake mini muffins since the batter is not oily, you need to spray the pan. I follow the recipe but check the baked product a few minutes before it's done. Some ovens have different baking temperaments so you need to test what works for you. I have been extremely satisfied with the quality of my flexible pans. Hope this helps.

Transfer of silicone taste
- I bought my set out of a club at work so I don't know what the manufacturer's name is but I can definitely 'taste' the moulds on the food. Almost like a rubbery taste, gave them a good wash in soapy water but it hasn't improved. I wanted to use the cup cakes mould for yorkshire pudding, the taste definitely transfers on the ones I have got. Anyone else found the same?

I think they're fantastic!
- I've never had any problems with silicone bakeware. I started with cupcake cases, which were great. It looks good when you take them out of the cases and they have all corrugated sides! I've now got the works - silicone spatula, loaf tins, cake tins etc. they're amazing! The spatula is an absolute MUST HAVE - miles better than those stupid other ones that melt and you have to cut bits off!

Silicone bowl damaged in oven; foul odor
- I have a silicone bowl set I bought on QVC and have used the bowls in the microwave with no problem. Yesterday I briefly put one of the bowls into the regular oven, set at about 350 degrees. When I pulled the bowl out about 10 minutes later, there was a terrible odor and the bowl was discolored on the bottom. Is this odor dangerous and should I throw the bowl away now?

Bundt Cakes

- Today I used the little gingerbread men molds to make cookies....what a mess....cooled completely and they still stuck...ruined. I greased the molds with reg shortening. I had the same experience with star shaped brownie molds...my cookies sheets are fine and my 8 inch cake pan is fine and I have never had to grease them. what is up with these products.?
