Silicone Baking Pans — 

I saw a deal on some silicone cooking pans online, and I was interested.

The idea is that the silicone is soft and just slips off baked goods like cakes, muffins, and cookies. If you've ever had food stick and ruin your presentation, this should be appealing.

My order came in, and the pieces remind me kind of like the swimming caps the boys have but just a bit thicker. I was not sure these would work. But, the pound cake pan which might also be called a bundt cake pan was fabulous.

To put the silicone cake pan to the test, I made chocolate squash cake. Yes. It is good. It's also very moist with the squash, so it would be one that might be likely to stick.

The directions say to spray the silicone pan with something like Pam the first time and also if you use a dish washer to clean the cake pan. That kind of seasons it, and I just do that anyway even if I don't have to.

I was quite impressed with the silicone pound/bundt cake pan. I have the muffin pan and cookie pan, but I had those in mind for gifts. I was not real impressed with the cookie pan. It is not pan but a sheet, and it would need something under it as it is floppy. I may end up keeping that and using it and can get back on that. I just thought it would be firm enough that it would hold cookies, but it is not.

As far as the cake pan in silcone though, I really like that. My squash cakes this summer have been coming out really nice. You can see the shape. No sticking at all. Very impressive. I just let the cake cool for 10 to 20 minutes like I would in any other pan, and it pops right out.

After I read your review on a site that gave you a good deal on silicone bakeware I decided that I wanted to try this stuff. I'm going to invest in a muffin pan.
