Silicone Muffin and Cupcake Pans – Set of 2 | Cake Molds | Large (12) and Mini (24) | Easy to Clean Non Stick Bakeware | BPA Free and Dishwasher Safe by Lucentee

Haven’t even used them. I washed them this morning and in the interest of needing prep space I put them in the oven to finish drying. I set it to 350 and turned it off as soon at is hit temp. First of all, the smell from the oven when I opened the door was toxic. My oven smelled like it evaporated all the chlorine from the local YMCA pool. Second, it had weird burn marks as shown in the picture. My oven is relatively new and Is essentially pristine so I know it’s not residue from the oven. They’ve been on the counter for a few hours and they still smell wretched. I can’t even imagine cooking any food in these. Ever. Trash. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth the trip to the post office to return them.

I've used and own a few pieces of silicone cookware so I have some experience, this seems different in a few key ways.First, it has a plasticy aroma that silicone generally does not have. Silicone is stable and inert (thus no smell) which is why it's a good choice for cookware.Second, I baked a batch of muffins, used paper liners. A little batter spilled onto the upper rim of the silicone and when I tried to remove it after, it left a brown, burned stain. I baked the muffins at 375, not at all hot enough to cause that discoloration and every piece of silicone cookware I have resists stains very well, no matter what. I have SilPat pan liners that I've used dozens of times in a hot oven, and not a single stain. One light use and these are already stained. That tells me that it is not pure silicone, it has some additives or impurities that make it smell and cause minor spills to burn on and stain. That calls into question the safety of whatever blend of materials they used to make them. I trust pure silicone cookware, I do not trust these muffin pans.

This pack is one of the best deals I had here in Amazon. Not only is it good for baking (no need to grease), it also works well in making chocolates, jello and even ice. It is very easy to clean too.I've had some silicone pans before. Compared to the ones I owned, this set while flexible, still holds it shape better. It is sturdier than most silicone baking products. It also doesn't stain after several uses.

Pros- Vibrant color teal - perfect for any posh kitchen! Non-stick so there was no need to use baking cups or cooking spray. This muffin pan is super easy to clean, To my surprise there was NO silicone and NO plastic odor during or after baking (I was worried about this as I had used a different brand and I thought it smelled like melting plastic) The muffins come out so easily and were perfectly cooked. I was also surprised that no adjustment in cooking time was needed. The boxed muffins said 14 minutes and they took 14 minutes. I used the directions according to the "non stick" pan time-frame for baking and it was perfect!Cons-Flimsy, thus difficult to put in and out of the oven. I made the mistake of trying to put in in the oven without something underneath and spilled some of the mixture. On my second attempt I smartened up and put a cookie sheet underneath which worked like a charm. I don't know how it would hold up to the dishwasher and I don't dare even try, then again all it needed was a simple wipe as no residue was even left behind.

I have been using these muffin/ cupcake pans for at least a month now. My baked goods slide right out if you let them cool a bit. So much superior to papers or greasing metal pans. I just set them on a small cookie sheet for stability and so my batter doesn’t shift out of the silicone because it’s so flexible. I like these even better than the individual silicone liners because I am required to keep track of each one of them and lost one of the mini muffin ones the first use.

This was great and made very little clean up. I made meatloaf muffins and regular cupcakes in it and they came out great, but there are two caveats:1: This will stain. There is no remedying this, but at least no aftertaste exists. It will look ugly after your first use or so, but is no less functional2: The form does not hold. It's like pulling out a bunch of meatballs from the oven using nothing but aluminum foil; The corners you dont grab will sag and can spill, and the cups can get uneven on the rack. Best fix is to put this on a cookie sheet, but if there's any spillage, then you have two dishes.Could be improved with a rigid framing.

I was nervous to use these as I’ve never used silicone. One of our favorite meals is “poofy pancakes” or German pancakes that we make in muffin tins. These worked amazing for them. I didn’t have to spray the sides so they wouldn’t stick and they popped right out. They still browned nicely too. I would put a cookie sheet under them to make it a little sturdy, but not needed.

I was a little nervous about silicone pans since they are so flexible, but I was pleasantly surprised by these pans. They are easy to use and cool down really quickly. I love how easy it was to get the cupcakes out then start another batch. They are easy to clean -- I just put it through the dishwasher. Overall, this is a great product. I would buy again!
