I've found that silicone pans are much easier to clean than most
other types of cookware or bakeware. As another list member
suggested, I just drop all of mine into a sink full of warm, soapy
water for a couple of minutes before I start washing them and have
never had any problems doing the job. They have always cleaned very
quickly and easily, leaving no residue of any kind after the process
is finished.
No scrubbing has ever been necessary for me. A quick and simple pass
over with a soapy wash cloth has always done an excellent job for me.

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
