If you’re anything other than a professional baker, you may only think of metal when it comes to baking pans, molds, and accessories. However, industry professionals will tell you that some of the best baking results come from silicone. Here are just a few reasons why bakers have been in love with silicone for as long as it has been available in the kitchen:
Flexibility – In Every Sense
The flexibility of silicone is just one of its many merits. Not only are they flexible – you can twist your silicone pans nearly in half to release your baked goods without damaging them – but they’re also flexible in their many uses.
Silicone is microwave, oven, freezer, and dishwasher safe. No matter where you need your silicone baking molds and accessories to go, they are perfectly suited for it!
It’s important to note that because silicone is so flexible, your baking mats and molds may require additional support before, during and after baking. Choosing a coordinating pan or rack to accompany your silicone accessories will help make your baking fail-proof.
Easy, Breezy Baking
Silicone baking molds allow for the easiest release and the least damage of any type of bakeware. This is because of most substances – no matter how sticky – simply won’t adhere to silicone. No oiling or greasing is necessary for an easy release. This makes popping cupcakes, muffins, tarts, and anything else you want to bake out of these molds easy as pie!
This ease also makes for simple and quick cleanup. Just little hot water and soap, and your silicone accessories are ready for their next use!
Where to Buy
When you’re ready to invest in a couple of new silicone baking molds, you need to look no further than your favorite local baking supplier. While big-box stores are still slowly introducing silicone to the mass market, you’ll find anything and everything you need with your professional supplier. Contact your favorite merchant today and see how easy baking in silicone can be.
