When baking cupcakes if I don't fill all of the tins, I put an ice cube in the empty cups. This is easier than filling the empties with water.

Please could somebody enlighten me? when I don't fill all the tins I just leave them empty! Is there some special reason for filling them with water? Why do they ALL have to be filled with anything?

Editor's Note: The reason I fill any empty tins halfway with water is so the muffins will bake evenly. When some of the tins are empty the muffins nearest those empty tins may bake faster than the others. Another view is it's meant to prevent your muffin tin from warping. Yet another view is so the pan won't smoke during baking.
