Convenience and opportunities, opened with the use of silicone forms for baking, have already been appreciated by many mistresses. The molds are very strong and durable, they can be used for many years. They are thin and flexible, so taking out the ready-made dish is very simple. And if we talk about their diversity, then they certainly are not equal.
There are silicone molds for baking large cupcakes , whole sets of silicone molds for baking small cupcakes , and what variety of shapes are round, in the form of heart, stars, snowflakes, all kinds of animals, insects, cartoon heroes, fruits and vegetables and much more.
You can use them not only for baking, but also cooking different meat, fish, vegetable dishes. In this case it is better to take a simple round or rectangular shape.
Choosing quality silicone molds
Forms for baking are made of chemically inert, which means - completely safe silicone. When asked if the silicone forms for baking are harmful, it can be answered that when heated, it does not emit absolutely no harmful substances, does not react with the contents.
Of course, if you want to securely purchase safe forms of silicone, you need to buy the products of proven and well-proven firms.
The material for making baking molds must be a medical silicone, which is used for implants and other medical products. It is non-toxic, does not melt at temperatures up to + 250 ° C, does not dissolve in fats and acids, does not emit a smell on contact with food.
Terms of use of silicone forms for baking
Silicone molds are very flexible and plastic, so pour the dough into them after they are installed on the baking sheet. Otherwise, you can not avoid the difficulties of transporting the filled forms to the oven or microwave.
Use silicone molds for baking, by the way, it is possible in the oven (gas and electric), in the multivark and in the microwave. You can also freeze them in the refrigerator freezer - nothing will happen to the molds, they easily tolerate changes and low temperatures.
If you are preparing to use a silicone baking dish for the first time, you may have a question - do you need to lubricate it before baking. The answer here is ambiguous, since there are recommendations that it can be lubricated once before the very first application, and then it is not necessary to do this, since nothing will stick to it without lubrication. But for peace of mind, it is better to slightly lubricate the form every time before a new batch.
After each use, do not forget to wash the mold with detergent, but not abrasive, but soft. Pre-soak the molds in cool water, then turn them out and just wipe with a soft sponge. Even the smallest depressions leave the dough without difficulty.
It is better not to take the baking out of the mold immediately, but after 5-7 minutes after the extraction from the oven (microwave, multivark). Just tilt the shape sideways, and the finished baking itself will come out of the mold without much effort. If the cake or pie is still a little stuck, bend the edge of the mold outwards and help with the silicone spatula. Do not use sharp objects such as forks and knives, otherwise pierce the shape and irretrievably ruin it.
It is preferable to choose shapes with smooth and even edges, with a minimum of decor, so that there are no problems with baking and washing forms after use.
You can store forms as you like - in a folded, bent state. Silicone is not deformed, does not change shape. It will easily be straightened out and will immediately take on its original form.
