Silicone Cookware Review

Have you tried the new silicone cookware?

This cookware looks rubbery and is very flexible. This type of cookware claims to be nonstick. These pans are so unique and colorful.

However, it is a bold move to put the rubbery pan in your oven.

I recently purchased a silicone pan that makes 12 mini- loaves.

The pan is bright red and fits nicely on a jelly roll pan that I use to support the mini-loaf pan when I’m baking.

I love the mini loaves shape. They are the perfect size to share for breakfast or to give as a gift. The loaves bake evenly and brown nicely when I make quick breads such as banana nut bread.

The new pan functions very well and exceeds my expectations, except for the nonstick claim. I used the pan several times before determining that the nonstick claim did not work. The bread stuck to the pan and left a layer of crumbs that was difficult to clean. Now I use spray oil with flour prior to baking. I also have a mini-muffin pan that I’ve found works much better if you use the oil spray prior to baking.

Overall my silicone pans perform great. I like the bolder designs and shapes that are available in silicone type pans. In the future I will always use an oil spray to prevent sticking. My original intent was to reduce calories by going oil free was not achieved with out a real cleanup mess.

However the style and even baking characteristics make the pan one of my favorites. My neighbor was over for coffee yesterday and saw my mini-loaf pan. (I had made her banana nut bread for her birthday.) She was surprised by the rubbery look of the pan and then she admitted, I have a pan like that. My daughter gave it to me and I’m afraid to use it. It seems so flimsy and I’m afraid it will melt in the oven.

I encourage everyone scared of these silicone pans to try them! I think you’ll love the results.
