RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
Sounds like there are two sets of responses in this thread. One for the silicone bakeware which is flexible and another for the silicone lined bakeware that is not.
The flexible silicone bakeware performs wonderfully with most of the limitations mentioned above. The new silicone surface stainless steel bakeware is much different in that it has the features of traditional bakeware with the non-stick features of Teflon but with none of the drawbacks. This is the stuff that I would suggest.

RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
I have several brands of silicone bake ware and I love them all. I do NOT use any spray. I use only butter. The baked goods come out beautiful and they wash as easy as can be. I do butter them each time I use them. It is easy to do. Put a tab of butter on a piece of paper towel and start smearing the heat from your finger tips does a wonderful job of softening and allows for a smooth spread.
We do, muffins, cupcakes, pound cakes, cheesecakes (cool and then freeze just pops right out). Regular cakes. Great products. Love them!

RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
I would not bake cookies without the silicone sheets. I really love them. You do have to use a cookie sheet under them but I find clean up to be easy and choose my silicone bundt over the metal anytime. I have a wonderful metal 24 muffin tin so I bought the silicone cupcake liners and love them as well. I spray with Pam, can't hurt! I haven't burnt a cookie in years!

RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
I use a silicone cake pan at work almost every day. I spray it with Pam and it cleans up very well. I also have silicone cupcake bakers. They're great!

RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
I heard a lot of hype, too, about how wonderful this bakeware is, so I was just "dying" to buy some! When I finally did purchase this anomoly, I chose a loaf pan. I definitely ALWAYS have to grease the pan and contrary to what one might think, it is very difficult to clean. The baked goods come out o.k., but like one other poster mentioned... you do have to let the bakeware cool completely before even trying to get the baked goods out, OR you will most definitely have a huge mess;) So... if you don't mind some baked-on grease on your cookware and you're ready to scrub to get it clean (or, as clean as you're able to!), then it's not too bad.

RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
You must always grease it. I use a brush dipped in olive oil for greasing. When the pan cools off, it is safe to turn upside down and remove the contents. I put the bakeware in the top rack of dishwasher. It usually needs a little extra wiping right after coming out of the dishwasher. Depends on what I baked in it.
I know that they advertise that it doesn't require greasing, but that's not good advice.
When I bake banana bread or muffins, after removing the loaf I leave it turned upside down, letting the heat rise up through the loaf, to continue heating. When it cools, can slice.

RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
I have the cookie sheets and I love them...I lay them on top of the metal pans and have no problem doing that. I have the muffin ones too, they are hard to clean, but otherwise work ok. I lay the sheets in the bottom of my sink and use the Dawn grease cutter cleaner on them..when dry I roll them up and use either toilet holders or paper towel cardboard to store them. Nothing ever sticks.

RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
I have had my silicone bakeware for a very long time and I have had no trouble at all. Yes I spray my silicone all the time and I use a cookie sheet under them every time I bake in them and they always come out real easy and do not break apart at all they are the best to bake in. Hope this helps you out.

RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
I don't understand all the negative replies. I've had mine for several years and I love it. I do use a cookie sheet under all my silicone products. I still use liners with my cupcakes, but thats a personal preference. The instructions were to spray with Pan before using the first time, but after that just normal hand washing keeps it perfect.

RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
I enjoy using my silicone bakeware.I have the bundt pans and use them to make my cakes in. I haven't noticed any bad taste and cakes come out easily. I have the small star pans that I use for kid's birthdays.

RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
I agree that it is not very good. The loaf pan doesn't hold it's shape and the muffin tins stick badly. I gave mine to the kids to play with!

RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
I have silicone bakeware and I really like it. My instructions said not to spray it with Pam or any other type spray, but to grease it with butter. I have used it for corn bread, meatloaf, cake and other things.

RE: Using Silicone Bakeware
I have a set of Silicone Backware and I don't care for it. I find it difficult use as you must put a cookie sheet under the silcone to keep it stable. I find that things stick to just as with "normal" bakeware.
I can't seem to scrub it clean as it's to "soft" to hold on to easily.
Personally, I don't like it. I bought it on sale so I don't feel to bad, but I would not buy anymore pieces.
