Do you think I could make caramels in them? Would the hot mixture melt the trays?

I don't see why not. The trays can resist heat up to 400F I think. Though you would probably need to grease them before pouring

It should not. Silicone is used for baking quite frequently. I would be very surprised if caramel got hot enough to damage it.

I don't think hot caramel would be hot enough to melt the trays, so you should be able to make caramels in them.

I don't know. The inside tray is plastic so I'm sure it would melt. Hope I never have to find out. In this case, I think you get what you pay for.

U can but way too hot even on low. They got so hot that the plastic started melting

Not that I know of...I've never tried. The pack consists of little gelatin beads so I'd be scared to melt them if heated another way.

You cannot use then in an oven. They have plastic domes and I am rather certain that they will melt.

No, I wouldn't. You would get freezer burn. They are not thick enough. You should use freezer paper. It is thicker and has a coating on the one side so food wouldn't stick.

I am not sure - it is plastic so I am guessing not if your mixture is really not. The plastic is not really super thin, but making hard candy, like anise, etc. would just melt it, I'm sure

Don't see why you couldn't, I'm merely saying that they were originally designed for candy mixes. There are a bunch of stevia flavoring extracts you can buy that will provide 80-120 uses. These small drams will probably proved 25-35 uses.

They can be but unfortunately will not have long enough to burn to get you up to temperature. If you are just heating 8 oz. in a covered container, then 1/2 cube may work for you.

I have never used it for this, but I think it would be fine. You can put them in the oven.

My guess (guess, mind you) is yes since they are not all THAT soft. Wow, if that works, it would be dynamite as a gift, party food, and just to eat. If you try it, please share how you did it. I would say the answer to will they hold up in melted chocolate is 85% yes, but if not, you still have some great peppermint sticks. What a great idea. Even white chocolate would be yummy.

Not unless you like melted plastic in your food. No...they're not for that. Need to use foil or the like while in the oven. But I really love the product.

TBH I don't know BUT they are metal pans so I can't see why you couldn't. The only thing is that they might only allow you to reach a certain temperature. Personally I wouldn't do it but I'd either wait for other replies to see if anyone else has or I would call Waring and see if they can answer that question. Sorry to be so vague but I really cannot give you a definite answer.

I cannot answer your question about whether these can be used in making sugar work or caramel toffee. Sorry.

not sure what you mean.... melted caramels inside the mold or caramel inside chocolate? I haven't tried anything caramel and don't know how it dries in comparison to chocolate. I pour hot melted chocolate into the molds and as they cool, they become harder. When they are hardened through to the touch (When I am making alot, I sometimes stick them in the freezer for a brief time period to speed this process up) Once hardened, they pop right out of the molds. There is minimal cleanup involved!

I think they could maybe handle it in that they wouldn't melt, but they are really thin plastic and would be uncomfortable to hold when really warm. Personally I wouldn't chance it. They're really bad quality.

Not sure but I would think so. Silicone is oven-safe so melted crayon should be no problem. They should pop out easily after they have cooled.
