Silicone Bake Wear

[Lilywhite]

I am wondering if there is anyone out there that has used Silicone bake wear in either their propane oven or in their microwave/1/2 time oven? What kind of results did you get and did you have to alter your cooking time because of this particular type of bake wear.

I like the fact that the bake wear is light weight and has the benefits of non-stick and should result in healthier cooking. Just reluctant to use as it's new to me and I have always used metal or glass cook wear.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I have used a silicone muffin pan in my home oven (also propane) and I hated it. the muffins stuck so bad I had to serve crumbs. I even sprayed the pan with pam and they still stuck. It either got donated to goodwill or trashed, I can't remember which.

I have found when using the convection oven in the LM that it is very important for the pan to be able to spin. We ended up with a batch of lop-sided muffins that were over done on one side and under-cooked on the other.

We since bought a 6 muffin pan that will spin and get good muffins now. I also bake cakes in spring form pans or 10" square.

I've had pretty good luck with my silicone bakeware. Got a nice set at costco. It does seem to stick easier tho. Try a baking spray instead of just pam. I mostly use a couple loaf pans and an 8x8. It is very nice to use as it's light, durable and easy to store. What I don't like is that it's floppy. But, I use an airbake cookie sheet in the propane oven under it and that helps. Nothing special in the convection.

I was given a couple of pieces of the original silicone cookware. Can't afford to buy it ... way too expensive for me. It works great in whatever I use it in though. If I actually baked much in the RV, I might save up for a couple more pieces. Here's the link to the company ... Demarle.

I use a high-grade of silicone muffin cups (large ones) and food bakes up nice in them. I spray them with Pam. I like to drop Cinnabon Grands into them

Hey Jim, you guys are making me hungry. You know deserts are right up my ally.

Thank you for all your replies. I guess I am just going to have to jump in with both feet and give it a try. Maybe I will start out with something that would be a little more forgiving than something complex.

Hmmmmm maybe plain dinner rolls. There's nothing better smelling than fresh bread baking.

Friends of ours laugh at the fact that our style of "camping" is so different now than what it used to be. No more hot dogs, canned beans and KD.

Check out Tuesday Morning for some high-end stuff at discount prices. I LOVE their kitchen section.
I know what you mean about the "camping". LOL We are constantly taking a ribbing about roughing it.

Especially cuz we travel with the espresso machine, portable ice maker, 2 laptops and 2 TV's. That's 'glamping' I was told.

We also take our lap top and X-Box gaming system. Pathetic isn't it?

Well we rough it,,,, we sleep on 200 thread count sheets instead of 400, and they can get a little rough...

Chan I realized that our "camping" had really changed.....getting ready for a dinner party ant had to go to the RV to get appliances!

Lilywhite - I have a silicone power T cakedish (go Vols) and haven't had any problems baking in the BC oven. I do spray the pan with Joy baking spray and haven't had any problems with sticking, etc. I do find out when my DH doesn't level the rig properly and the cake is slightly one sided. HUMMM B--
