These are surprisingly effective
I found three sets of these KitchenAid Silicone Bakeware on clearance at my grocery store after Christmas last year and I bought them all because I had been wanting to try them and they were so cheap. I planned to keep a set set for myself, give one set to my Mom, and just have the third set on hand in case I needed an emergency gift for someone. The sets I bought are blue and included a muffin pan, a small round cake pan and a small loaf pan. They also had a baking mat. I was a little skeptical as I lightly sprayed the loaf pan with cooking spray, then poured in my banana bread batter and popped it in the oven. When it was thoroughly baked and I removed it from the oven, I fully expected it to be thoroughly stuck to the silicone. But it just popped right out with no trouble at all. The bread was perfectly baked and tasted delicious. Cleanup was easy, just wash in warm soapy water. I have since used all of the other pans that came in the set, but have not used the mat yet, but I love the pans! My Mom likes hers as well. I still have the third set and need to figure out who I will be gifting it to.
