I had one of those giant cupcake silicon moulds. I used it once. It stuck completely and the smell of the hot silicon was rather unappetising. Hence, I binned the lot. Back to good old aluminium for me... a bit of spray oil and nothing sticks and the surface stays put, unlike the nonstick pans you seem to get everwhere.RachJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441221357710629314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-67808073876284301832012-06-05T16:50:06.552+10:002012-06-05T16:50:06.552+10:00i have used silicone and do use it from time to ti...i have used silicone and do use it from time to time, but only when i run out of baking paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-72295785638964745392012-06-05T14:43:54.312+10:002012-06-05T14:43:54.312+10:00I'm with you.

Everything I have ever made in silicon has broken or stuck.<br /><br />The only thing about silicon that is better than normal baking tins is it doesn't wake the baby up when I try and pull the 'tin' I want out of my over stuffed pots and pans cupboard.<br /><br />Also, I'm sure that at some future date we are all going to discover that heating plastic with food in it is terrible for you ... or maybe I'm paranoid.<br />http://mummyateme.blogspot.com.au/MummyateMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06648911826648918705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-20325551816113506972012-06-05T07:06:56.350+10:002012-06-05T07:06:56.350+10:00I've resisted silicone all this time because I...I've resisted silicone all this time because I couldn't get beyond the aesthetics.
