Silicone baking moulds....why did no-one tell me?

[Lucycat]

how fanbloodytastic they are?

Bought an 8 cup (pink )heart shaped one this mornig from TKMaxx and was seriously concerned about opening the oven to melted plastic.....but the cakes look fab and they came out of the moulds soooooo easily.

am off to TKMaxx again tomorrow, anyone got any recommendations for what shape to get next?

ok so just me getting excited about pink silicone then?

yes i love them too but find they don't conduct the heat brilliantly so some wetter things like brownies don't cook so well.

I love my muffin mold one. not sure how a tray bake size would work though

mmm I did cook the cakes for a bit longer than usual - so you wouldn't recommend a brownie type shape mould?

I love mine - I use Demarle which has a fibre glass mesh on thebottom so if anything the cooking time is quicker - brownies come out great but it is quite expensive!

McD that stuff sounds fab where do you get it?

I've been to parties (you know the tupperware type party) and added to my collection that way. I don't think you can buy it in the shops. Here's their website
