Silicone Pans
KAY QUESTION
Feedback: I just got silicone baking pans for Christmas, do they need to be greased/pam when using, any other tips for using this type of pan or where I can find more info. Thank You
ROSE REPLY
although manufacturers of baking and cooking pans use the term non-stick, this is a relative thing. there is no substance on earth that is 10% non-stick. silicone is the best of all non-stick materal but it still requres preparation. a light coating of oil will work for non-chocolate cakes but a sray that contains oil and flour or oiling and flouring the pans is necessary for chocolate cakes.
i wrote a booklet for lékué silicone pans that is packaged with the pans. these pans are carried in many stores around the country including fantés in philadelphia that does mail-order.
Read about my association with Lékué Silicone pans and bakeware from Spain.

Hi,
whatever you do, don't EVER use PAM on your silicone forms! It will leave a very sticky residue that you can't get off...use regular vegetable oil, margarine, butter....instead!
I ended up tossing my form, I tried every trick in the book but couldn't get the sticky build-up off!

Hi,
as I can't get Rose's pans here :(
I just wanted to let you know about some excellent silicone pans I have just bought. They are Tefal by Jamie Oliver (the English chef)"Advanced Silicone' brand - the unusual thing is they are rigid and hold shape just like normal pans but are made from silicone. Apparently they are reinforced by solid rings inside. They bake really evenly too! Only one thing they are fairly pricey - RRP (Aus)$60-75 each (got mine discounted at $36 but still quite a bit more expensive than many other brands!) Mind you I do love them and for me they are worth it!
