When silicone baking pans first came out, I was un-amused. I didn't cook back then at all. And I mean, at all. I made one dish and it was something that I made up that had chicken breasts, spinach, and a tomato dressing/marinade baked for a random amount of time. Looking back it was awful. Back to silicone pans... I was un-amused when they first came out because I didn't understand the potential. Baking scared me and they didn't have one that was for making a grilled cheese or queso or something like that.
I now am ridiculously curious about using them. I know that the learning curve can be a bit high when they are used for baking, but I will rise above said curve! I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted to get a silicone pan in the shape of a heart to make my family a heart cake for Valentine's Day. Try looking that up online or on eBay and you will be amazed at what people want you to pay for a single silicone heart shaped pan. It's highway robbery. I gave up and figured that I would formulate a plan later on in the month.
Who would have thought that I would find an inexpensive one at Ikea? Well, I found one today at Ikea for $8.99. Hard to believe? Yes. Totally worth it? Absolutely. I will post cooking adventures with a silicone pan in less than a month.
I'm off to veg out on the couch until I need to log in and do some work in about an hour.
Good luck! I have never had success baking with silicone!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Are you supposed to alter the times or temps or just bake as the recipe states?
