Do you need to spray non-stick Silicone bakeware? I purchased some non-stick silicone bakeware, thinking they didn’t need to be sprayed. I can’t say I particularly care for this type of bakeware yet. So far, I have found if I don’t spray first, everything sticks. However I have read, if you allow things cool completely first (w/o spraying) that silicone pans release better.

Q. Is this true? This might be fine for cakes and sweet breads, but I prefer to eat muffins hot. I made muffins tonight, spraying only half the molds. The sprayed hot muffins came out ok, with a lovely crust. Upon removing, the unsprayed ones stuck and tore apart.

Q. Does Rose have a link, where she has posted her tips for using silicone bakeware? I read a post from Rose on the Sarah Phillips’ Baking 911 Board, and would like learn more and use her tips.

To Sarah: >> i’ve also put your name on the invitation list for a very marvelous upcoming event where i’ll be teaching what i know about silicone bakeware and the (food magazine) editors will get to bake with it. it’s on june 22, 12-2. hope you got the invitation and will be able to make it. warm regards, rose >>

Yes Sharon, there is a pdf file on Rose’s blog that explains how to use those types of products.  You can do a search to locate it.  I’m pretty sure that Rose generally sprays silicone because “nothing is truly nonstick.”

Hi Sharonanne - Rose uses baker’s joy spray in/on her silicone bakeware.  I haven’t used silicone baking pans yet, but I love my silpat silicone liners and never spray them.  If you do a search on the blog for silicone, you’ll get tons of posts on the subject.
