I am interested in making custom molds for baking shortbread cookies. Is this mold material able to withstand 350F for approx 30 minutes?

according to the instructions that came with the kit you can use them to bake up to 400F. To heat cure them you can bake at 350F for 30 min. If used for food use only for food. needs to cure for at least 25 minutes before use. It comes with detailed instructions. :)

I haven't tried using for baking. Up close, I wouldn't risk it (not sure if it can with-stand the heat). Perhaps you can try using it for pre-baking moulding...

I would be afraid to put it in the oven, b/c it is plastic...but I made Lego crayons using a silicon mold and it worked great! I used colored white chocolate for these.

It depends on how you are planning to use it. I have used it in the oven to make stews and it worked out great. The instructions say that it can withstand temperatures up to 400F. However, I am not sure how well roasting would work.

Yes, it is fairly durable as long as you cast .25" mold vs. .125" or less. I would cast a one off and then put it through some tests and see how it does. Check their website for the official hardness also known as "Shor A" or "durometer" rating. It is very similar to POM aka Delrin aka polyacetol. It is not soft like rubber "40 durometer" more like 75 to 80 like a plastic. Should hold up to finger pressing but I wouldn't drop it as it can be brittle. Ambient environmental temperature can be important. Would not use in extreme low temperature for example. Does this help?

So, I've had these for a couple months and use them for kids' lunches. Never tried baking in them, but they would probably do okay as long as the oven temperature is not too hot (wouldn't want them to burn up). Also, whatever is placed inside them should not be overly wet; I would imagine they would soak through. I'll try a bisquick biscuit right now in my toaster oven. One minute...okay, I just tried it. 375* for 10 minutes placed on a cookie sheet. Biscuit turned out great. Paper is not scorched, just a little brown like underside of a cookie. I wouldn't go too much longer than 10 mins at this temperature. Perhaps a lower temperature for longer. Hope this helps. BTW, biscuit turned out fantastically well.--Marta

Absolutely. I don't know the heat tolerance level officially but it is a fairly thick material and would work fine for cornbread as I used it for brownies and cakes All the time!

The Product page says it can be used in an oven, up to 350 F. However, because of the rubberized handles, I wouldn't try it.

Hi, I bake cakes and small tarts, pies in them. Heat resistant to 350. Also, I put them on sheet pans for easier handling.

Yes...But. If you are using other resins that are low to moderate heat releasing, then yes. I don't see why you would have any problem. I have used 3 different resins without any problems whatsoever. I don't know that I would use straight fiberglass resin tho because I have had some that generated pretty high temps in the curing process. However, this is silicone rubber mold and it is rated to fairly high temps (I believe) so it should handle even the highest heat curing resins. Just don't know how the integrity of the mold would react. I can see where if one part of the resin cured more quickly it could cause the mold to bend or flex and result in a molded part not coming out to the correct dimensions. Might want to review the temp specs and make sure that the resin you are using generates heat within those specs.

I think you can. Like most silicone cookware, oven temp should not exceed 350.

I don't own one of these, but have owned silicone bakeware in the past, and have had mixed results with it. Silicone is a good insulator of heat, and so you'll likely need to increase the recipe temperature slightly (if it's still in the tolerable range of the material, which I believe is 450 for silicone bakeware, but don't quote me on that.) When you bake with it, like any silicone item, you'll want to place it on a cookie sheet, and use plenty of Baker's Joy or Pam with flour, or grease and flour, as this is NOT non stick by any means. Hope this helps!

There is no indication on any literature as to whether it can or can not be used for baking. I called the company and the woman said it is not for baking. I suggested there be some information on either the item or the website if that is the case. It's non-stick covered metal, I don't see why it shouldn't be OK. (some users have commented below that it worked fine in the oven). Although I wouldn't take it past 425 degrees with a teflon-type surface.

YES. Most definately. The candy we make is at 300 degrees when poured into the molds.

Obviously it depends on the temperature you are looking for. The watt is pretty low so the crepe maker takes kind of a long time to reach high temperatures ( i would say more or less 15 minutes to reach 350 F

I have refrigerated my dough but before using have let it set at room temp for about 10 min. in needs to be somewhat soft so that when you put in cookie press it will squish down and together better. it would take it cold I think as it seems strong.

I'm not sure what temperature you'd be using, but I wouldn't recommend it anyway. The product is meant to be a "protector" of fabric being treated and is used for short term heat application. While it may withstand the heat of an oven, I cannot think of a benefit to using it. If anything, it may cause the clay to shape differently.
