Manufacturer's Description
Cooking: Le Creuset's silicone bakeware is made from 100% liquid silicone and is ideal for all types of oven baking and roasting, up to temperatures of 280°C. With no metal parts or rim, you can even use it in the microwave.
Freezing: Cook 'n Bake is also perfect for setting or chilling recipes in the fridge or freezer, down to -40°C. It withstands extreme temperature changes so it can be taken from the freezer straight to a hot oven without fear of damage.
Peeling: Cook 'n Bake's non-stick surface ensures food releases with ease. It's versatile and flexible and simply peels away from food without fuss or mess. Totally hygienic and food safe, Cook 'n Bake will not absorb odours or flavours and can be used for both sweet and savoury recipes.
Cleaning: Cook 'n Bake is so easy to clean - it's dishwasher safe, or you can wash away food residues in hot soapy water.
Storing: Cook 'n Bake moulds retain their shape and with no rigid rim, they are flexible enough to be rolled up for storage - even in a drawer - great when space is limited.

Slightly misleading product description
This product is great - anything you put in it releases from the non stick surface very easily, with straight sharp edges that you don't get from a tin.
However what isn't mentioned until you read the accompanying instruction leaflet is that you *do* need to lightly grease the moulds for mixtures with low fat content (it cites sponge mixture as being one such mixture.) Since most people will probably buy these with a view to baking cakes, it's useful to know that in advance. Personally I thought silicone would mean no more greasing, so I was annoyed when I found out that wasn't strictly true!
They are very versatile - this particular shape can be used for pates and terrines and mousses (anything sliceable) as well as loaf cakes.
Hope that's helpful.
Brilliant! Full marks from Le Creuset once again.
I have been a lifelong fan of all Le Creuset products but have never been totally convinced about their bakeware. I guess its because cast iron get so hot in the oven and I keep forgetting to adjust the cooker temparature accordingly.
I thought that I would test my faith in the company, so I bought a Le Creuset silicon loaf tin and the results were staggering. It did need a very light greasing as I was doing a low-fat Date and Walnut loaf, but the loaf kept its shape and I was able to handle the 'tin' without gloves within a couple of taking it out of the oven.
THe silicon is such a good conductor of heat that I was able to bake my loaf at 120C instead of 180C with the same results. It was a dream to clean (just a wipe with a cloth)
I have been curious about these products since they were released and I am now utter convinced that these are the best products for baking. I am ordering some more moulds straight away.
The future of baking is....well.....Orange - in the `flexible' form of Le Creuset Silicone Bake-ware!
Manufacturer's Description
'Made from 100% liquid silicone and is ideal for all types of oven baking and roasting, even microwaving - up to temperatures of 280°C or down to -40°C for chilling/freezing. No risk of thermal shock.'
Reputed to be far more hygienic than tin-ware - it does not absorb odours or flavours. Won't rust.
Retains shape and easy to store - difficult to lose in a dark corner due to the colour!
Simply washes up in hot, soapy water, or pop it in the dishwasher.
A new generation in bake-ware, it is true to say that it may take a bit of getting used to, but worth that little effort and a proper read of the instruction guide!
As previously commented, light greasing does help!
Amazon has a great range to choose from whether you want to turn out a loaf, a sponge, a flan or a Yorkshire pudding or pop out a mini muffin - do it with style and with considerable ease.
Release your baking with confidence as nothing sticks to `Le Creuset' silicone bake-ware!
