I have never used silicone pans before, so do they hold up? do they last? are they flimsy? Help please

I have a few silicone pans and enjoy them very much. The larger and more rectangular the pan, the less it will hold it's shape when "loaded". My large loaf pan, for example, makes loaves that are slightly larger in the middle than on the ends. They're perfectly browned though, similar to what you'd expect from a dark colored metal baking pan. They do not seem to age, I hand wash with mild soapy water. The dessert bar pan is my go-to pan for preparing party treats. I use it for sweet (finger cakes and bars), savory (finger quiches), and even frozen (tom collins ice cubes) goods. I can't say it wouldn't stand up to machine washing, I just have so much anodized aluminum that I always have a few things that need a hand wash anyway. Hope that helps!

I have the 12 bar silicone pan and use it to make my granola bars. They come out perfectly and all the same size. I especially like this pan as there is no waste- when you don't have to cut your granola into bars there are no lost crumbs. As another reviewer suggested, I wash my silicone pan by hand in warm water and mild soap. It cleans easily. I would highly recommend this product. Thelma

the silicone pans hold nicely, specially the Chicago Metallic, this specific one has an inside metal frame, they do last a lot I have another brands for almost 10 years now, and to clean then it is a very easy task since there is no way you can scratch them as the metal ones. I have made on this cream pound cake and they came out perfect, what you just need to do though is to reduce and adjust the cooking time from your standard recipe since the product comes out smaller and cooks faster.

I bought it, but have not tried using it. However, the pan seems pretty sturdy, not flimsy at all. sorry I can't be of help.

These are average sized pans. They are not top quality but they do the job. I paid 58.00 for my set and I'd say that this was a deal for them. They are lighter weight and non stick. I would definitely say these are for a young couple just starting out. You'd probably want to get something a little more heavy duty for your family. Just my opinion:)

No, they won't melt...they are wood. I've not had silicone utensils, but I've been very happy with these. They don't seem to stain and are holding up very well. Hope that helps!

I don't know the answer to your question without looking at my paperwork at home. But I can tell you that I bought these pans and love them. I only use silicone utensils with them.

Yes. So far the coating has held up very well, but they are lightweight pans as you would expect, so definitely not as thick of nonstick coating as other types of kitchen pans.

They can withstand high temps.. If you're baking, it's definitely not going to hurt it! These are used for baking, so 350-425 this will be fine. I'm guessing it can hold up for higher temps, because they have silicon oven mitts. You can probably google a more accurate answer, but I'm 99% sure that this product will not melt in your oven when baking!! :) hope this helps you!

Since they're silicone, you should be able to bake in them. They would need support since they're quite flexible. Haven't tried it myself. Don't have any paper work to check cautions. Why don't you contact seller?

Absolutely! They are wonderful. I am very pleased with the purchase of these pans.

I have not but they are great, my wife bakes a lot and breaks a lot of measuring cups. These have held up.

I use the as occasional pans. I have had these for years and have not had any problems of the sort.

I purchase two pans. I was very surprised how sturdy they were. I've used them several times & they have not warped. Money well spent!

Yes they do nest perfectly, but they also warp badly, are thin and made cheaply. I do not recommend this cheaply made baking sheet. These wilton baking sheet pans are perfect as long as you don't ever put them in the oven or near heat, that's the only time they warp. It's made so thin you can actually hold each end and twist it back and forth. They also dent very easily. Look else where, not even worth half of what I paid. Amazon does not sell any good heavy duty pans, must look else where.

I'm sorry but I don't really know. I think they will last a long time. I love mine - just used it last night. I have the fry pan, too, which I love to use for eggs. They just slide right out.

Truthfully, I don't think these are good for all types of muffins. It's a matter of experimentation, and would I'd suggest using the dark sheet, reducing temp to maybe 360 and keeping an eye on them. If that doesn't work, it's probably a case of going back to the metal tins. That's what I'm going to do with some of my recipes. These things are great, but they can't beat the old metal stuff in many cases. Muffins need a lot of heat on them, and silicone doesn't hold heat.

If by that you mean, do they stay cool when in use ... no -- they get hot. That is the only thing that I would criticize about the pans though. Other than that, they are great.

I mentioned in my review - the food does stick more than the silicone ones. But they are nonstick and fairly easy to clean. I usually scrape the spatula clean on the edge of the pan.

Jim, Yes they are easy to clean. They are not teflon coated if that is what you are looking for. They clean up like any non-coated stainless steel pan. They are a nice cookware set, better then I expected for the price.
