Silicone molds are very comfortable and durable. And if they are properly used, they have a lot of advantages over their tough counterparts. And what can be baked in a silicone form, and how to do it correctly, we'll talk below.
How to bake in a silicone dish in the oven?
Do not be afraid to bake in silicone at high temperatures. The manufacturers' recommendations speak of a permissible temperature of + 240 ° C.
The oven can be any muffins and pies, as well as bake potatoes, meat, fish, freeze desserts at temperatures up to -40 ° C.
Before the very first application of the form, you should wash it with a mild detergent, dry it completely and oil it. In the future, you do not need to lubricate them anymore - baking does not stick even without it.
Fill molds with a test only after they are installed on the baking tray, otherwise you may not be able to carry the filled silicone because of its flexibility.
When the cake or cupcakes are baked, do not remove them from the molds at once, allow them to cool slightly. After that, bend the edges, and the baking itself will perfectly come out of shape.
After each use, soak the molds briefly in water and rinse with a soft sponge. If you wash them in a dishwasher, grease them with oil again before the next use.
