Re: [CnD] Silicone bakeware Brand Names
Hi Elizabeth, I don't know how helpful my opinions might be regarding silicone bakeware quality, but for what it may be worth to you, here is my own experience. I've been using various brands and types of silicone bakeware for several years now. I don't recall when I first received a silicone muffin pan, but it has to be 7 or 8 years ago. After receiving that one as a gift, I did a little on line research and tried a few recipes using that pan. I was astonished at how easy it was to use, to clean and to handle while still hot, just out of the oven. I've since replaced as many of my baking pans and dishes as I can, with silicone ones. I have some Farberware, some Wilton and some no name, purchased from dollar stores and close out sales that probably come from some low end manufacturer in Korea or wherever. It's true that some of the brand names produce pans that seem thicker and more sturdy than some of the cheaper variety. But despite that, I generally use them all in the same way and with generally the same results. I haven't noticed any difference in either longevity or damage of any kind with any of them. I don't have any preference with any brand and wouldn't hesitate to purchase any silicone pan from any producer. The brand name loaf pans, being a little thicker walled than the no name ones, do seem more sturdy when baking a meat loaf. Other than that, I don't see any real advantage of any of the brand name and thus more costly ones than I do with my dollar store silicone pans. The only point worth mentioning in this regard is the shape of the pan. If a flat sided pan is required, such as a square or rectangular pan like a loaf pan, then a thicker wall is sturdier and will tend to bulge less when packed with meat or other heavy content. If a round pan is wanted, then the thickness of it's wall is much less important since a round pan doesn't tend to bulge out as much, due to it's shape, than does a flat walled pan. So I tend to want one of the brand names for a loaf pan, while I'll tend to buy whatever is least expensive when looking for a round pan. Sorry for rambling, but I hope this explains why I really have no preferences in silicone pan brands and will purchase whichever pan I find at the lowest price I can find, regardless of where or from which company the pan originates. Hope this helps. At 10:29 PM Tuesday 2/1/2011, you wrote: Hi, everyone. I am wondering what brands of silicone bakeware you all recommend from experience. I am considering purchasing some by Farberware. I almost bought some Wilton silicone products online until I came across quite a few bad reviews of their quality and performance. Forgive me if this is a repeat of recent discussions. Thank you in advance for your input.

Hmm, I was wondering about that. I'd love to try baking a cake in mine. I've done it before when someone on this list posted a one minute cake recipe with just cake mix and a liquid of choice like orange juice or water, but I wanted to try something more complex. So, if a recipe called for baking something at 350 for 45 minutes to an hour, how would this translate to a microwave?

I do some cooking in the microwave, like meatloaf in a silicone loaf pan and that sort of thing. Otherwise, I just use the silicone pans to heat things in the microwave. I've never much liked anything that I've tried to bake in the microwave, using either my old glass dishes, or my silicone. Baking in the microwave has just never really worked out for me. When baking, I always use my conventional oven. Of course, whether I'm baking in the oven, cooking in either oven or microwave, or just heating up food in either, I'll always use silicone if possible. Silicone seems to heat better and faster, cleans up much more easily and can be handled with my bare hands much faster than with any other type of pan. Hope this is of some help to you.
