CLEAN & SAFE

Baking muffins, cakes, and specialty shapes

Materials

  • Food-grade silicone

Common claims

  • Flexible non-stick
  • No greasing needed
  • Dishwasher safe

Concerns / watch-outs

  • Low-quality silicone may contain fillers; do a pinch test — if white appears, likely filler-grade
  • Very high oven temperatures (above 450°F) can affect cheaper formulations
