I'm sure your methods do make a big difference. I wouldn't use a knife to cut something in a cilicone pan. Putting them in the dish washer is not a good idea either. Are they easy to clean? I've heard different answers to this question.

Thanks

Subject: Re: [CnD] silicone pans



I know that many folks use spray, or other greasing methods on silicone, but I never have. I use various sizes of silicone pans and cookie sheets for baking as well as roasting meats and the like and have never lubricated any of those pans prior to pouring or placing the item to be baked or roasted in the pan. When the baking is done, I just allow the item to cool a bit, then peel the pan away from that item, or in the case of muffins or other deep dish types of products, just invert the entire pan, then press the center at the back, allowing the baked item to pop out. I've been doing this for several years and so far, haven't had anything stick to the pan when done.
A couple of points probably worth mentioning here though are these.

1. I've never used any tool or cooking implement with those silicone pans. I just pour or place the item to be baked into the pan, then peel or press it out when done. I've never used a whisk or fork to stir anything in the pan and have never used a knife or spatula to cut or remove anything from them. I suspect, but have no proof of this whatever, that using such tools might roughen the manufactured surface of the silicone in some way that might lead to some food being able to stick to that surface.

2. I don't wash my silicone in a dish washer. I use palmolive dish soap and wash them all in the kitchen sink, by hand. Again, I don't know if this might make any difference, but just wanted to be clear about my methods, to give you as much detail as possible as to how, and possibly why, I've never had anything stick to my pans, without having to ever lubricate them.

Do you just use nonstick cooking spray with these silicon pans, or is
greasing and flouring ever required?

I  make cakes and loads  all the time using the cilicone pans. Just grease
it  lightly before putting the batter in the pan. .
When  your cake is done   Let  it cool for 20 minutes. U don't need to use
a spatula to remove the cake from the pan. Just turn it up side down and it
comes off so easily.ent from my iPhone
