Can I use silicon bakeware in the crockpot?

admin — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 00:44:51 +0000

I have many recipes for baking in the crockpot, but they say to use a baking insert, which I cannot find online. I found something that says it is to use for baking in a crockpot, but it costs more than the crockpot! That’s why I wondered if you can use the silicon bakeware.

I have ice trays, cupcake cups, cake pans, and muffin tins and no matter how good I clean and dry them a couple weeks down the road they are all covered with mildew. Anyone have suggestions for keeping my silicone bakeware and molds fungus-free?

How can I make my cookie sheet CLEAN?

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 05:38:56 +0000

I bought a new set of bakeware in September, and my cookie sheet, which I don’t use all that often is getting that dark brown colour that they become after use. Is there anyway that I can get it back to the shiny silver/grey that it used to be?? It’s just so ugly, and I’m not assured that it’s clean when it looks like that!

Can silicone bakeware go bad…?

admin — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 05:28:50 +0000

I recently received some silicone bakeware as a gift and I’m having some problems with it. I haven’t used it before so I’m wondering if maybe I’m missing something. So far all I have used is the muffin pan which I washed thoroughly before using, per the instructions. After putting it in the oven, my house was filled with foul smelling smoke! I removed it from the oven and gingerly tested a small piece of a muffin and it had a distinctly chemical taste to it. I tried again about a week later thinking that maybe the pan just needed to be seasoned or something and I got the same results, albeit with less smoke. Is it possible for silicone bakeware to go bad? Should I just forget about cooking with silicone? I swear I’m not a horrible cook and I have heard such wonderful things about the benefits of silicone…Please help!

Ok, I know, I have another question…lol I am trying to paint a cookie sheet and a muffin tin, but the paint does not stick because they are non-stick sheets. I have been to tons of stores and all they sell are non-stick bakeware items. Am I doing something wrong in the procedure? How do I paint these?????

Someone gave me a bread recipe, supposed to bake it at 375 degrees F…my oven is broken and I’d like to know if it would hurt anything to use glass bakeware in the toaster oven.

I overcooked (burned)brownies using silicone bakeware that left hard crystalized residue. Is this silicone?

admin — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 00:44:46 +0000

It was my fault (the burning). The recipe called for using a 8X8 pan for the brownies. I was so excited and bought some mini-muffin silicone bakeware. I used two of these silicone sets to make 24 mini-brownies (2-bite brownies).

Generic silicone bakeware protocol says that you do not grease the bakeware. So, I did not grease it. The recipe called for baking for 30-35 minutes at 350F. I did this. Man! The brownies were burned a good few millimetres from the bottom. The very bottom had a hard crusted crystallized coating. I am scared that this is silicone.

After much research on the ‘net, I have come up with solutions: 1) Changing the baking pan size caused this 2) Apparently, by switching to silicone, your baking time is reduced by 25%. I am fairly new to silicone. I used President’s Choice brand in this case. I am questioning the quality. By the way, I have "Smartware" silicone which has so far been good to me (I didn’t have the mini-muffin mold of theirs).
One more thing, I also read on the internet that silicone bakeware is "inert" and should not transfer to food. I was wondering if this is still true if you severely burn a food? Also, maybe the quality of silicone may not be good for the not-so-well-known brands (like "President’s Choice"?). ……. Or maybe I just BURNED the crap out of the brownies! And should try again. LOL I just want to make sure that that silicone did not get onto the food. I am tempted to take a picture of the bottom of the brownie.
