Muffin musings and first time silicone bakeware user
I'd never tried silicone bakeware and consequently didn't want to spend oodles on a multiple set if it didn't work out. This seemed the best product to use to do a little experimental cooking. I mused over the Jamie Oliver Tefal offerings- which have a rigid rim, but are more pricey. Technically the manufacturers don't claim this as a muffin pan because it's 2.5 cm deep. Their muffin 6 "tin" is 3cm deep- so if you're a purist go for that one. I was baking with an unfamiliar and unsophisticated oven, my electronic scales overmeasured the flour and I haven't baked cakes for over a year.

AND THE MUFFINS CAME OUT PERFECTLY. For the first time I didn't have to leave the things in the oven because the mixture was still uncooked after the suggested time. Ok so on attempt two with the scales repaired, the muffins stuck a little- you really DO have to give the cups a slight wipe with sunflower oil. But I left half cool off in the mould for another 10 minutes and these came out undamaged.

I can't see why anyone should gripe because you have to stick a metal tray underneath to keep the mould rigid. When I used cake tins with quick release bases I had to do this anyway to deal with leaks. My two observations are that because you have to twist the mould to release the cakes, it would be much easier with two 6 hole "tins" rather than this huge 12 hole thing (we're all used to 12 hole metal trays hence my purchase choice). I can also envisage that if you have a large cake tin, a rigid rim design may make it easier to turn out- it doesn't really matter with teensy cakes.

I didn't find that it emitted any weird smell on first use (I gave it a quick pop in the oven before I filled the cases for the first time). This may be because higher price = food grade silicone. There's lots of fun shapes available (my main mission was buying small rhum baba moulds and I rejoice that I don't have to get lots of tiny metal tins now). Plus you can use them to mould jellies and presumably ice cream as silicone can go straight in the freezer. So it's fairwell to rust! I'm in!

UPDATE: on silicone baking. whatever the hype, depending on how adventuresome your ingredients are, you will have to grease (sunflower oil is brilliant), and you may have to use paper cups. A Rum baba mould I had with intricate crenellations produced perfect cakes. However I've had disasters with peanut butter and (separately)maple syrup cupcake/muffin recipes where the cakelet stuck to the bottom of a plain pan. Letting the cake cool completely in the mould did help in most cases. So you just have to adapt or go conventional. However the plus side is that unlike every other baking experience, the cakes were cooked in exactly the time specified in the recipe.

Pop out Yorkies!
Yorkshires popped out a treat, so easy! Will be trying out for mince pies soon! Thanks again WellBake for a fab product!

Super Yorkies + Muffins
Used for yorkshires, muffins and fairy cakes so far - all worked a treat, so much easier and no fiddling with the paper cases - highly recommended.
