Silicone Baking Pans

Silicone Baking Pans

• lipsantos 15 years ago
  Has anyone had experience (good or bad) with silicone baking pans? I have not had good results and was wondering if there are some special rules for using them. I've tried a loaf pan and a square "brownie" pan. It seems items start to raise but fall before they are done baking. Also cannot get items to "brown" in the silicone pans. Any suggestions?

  Hi lipsantos,
  I've had mixed results with silicone bakeware. I tried the loaf pan, and the whole loaf expanded vertically and horizontally, resulting in a funny-shaped loaf. The browning on the crust didn't go too well either. I use a silicone mat to cover my cookie sheet when making cookies and it usually works well - though it insulates the bottom quite a bit so for some cookies I prefer lining the pan with parchment paper instead. I'm not sure if there are any good tips for making it work better.
