Will the muffins/cupcakes rise nicely in these? Or do they have the same result like you have greased the entire cup in the muffin pan?

I bake/cook gluten/grain/sugar free so the things I make may not equate to normal baking. I never add any type of oil to the cups and the items come out with ease and bake evenly throughout. They work great every time. I hope that helped!

Muffins rise just like normal. I use them like the paper/tin cake cups (inside the muffin pan) and didn't notice anything different.

I have baked one batch of cupcakes in these. They say to grease them the first few times of using them. I did not grease them. My cupcakes rose nicely.

Mine worked beautifully. Probably depends somewhat on how much batter is in the cup. I am very satisfied with the baking results I have had

Yes, gluten free and flourless cakes rise beautifully as well. I like to double up on the strips for cakes with longer than normal bake times also the outside doesn't crisp up too much though.

I haven't used only half of the pan, but I used two pans for muffins and there wasn't enough to fill up the entire second pan, so there were 3-4 empty spots. That didn't effect the way the muffins cooked or the pan at all, so I am sure only using half of the pan would be fun as well!

It honestly depends on the amount of batter you put in each cavity. If you put the batter 1/2 way up the cavity they'll rise flush to the pan. Finished cakes are 4 inches wide and 2" high / deep. Any more than that and they round out of the cavity making the bottoms round.

these are pretty much just the size of standard cupcakes/muffins. I would take a regular cupcake liner (like one of the reynolds ones) and slip it into your cup holders. that should give you a sense of the size. my guess is that they will slip in with room to spare, but that they won't be a tight fit.

I purchased 3 sets (9 pans total). I made two batches of my regular cheesecake recipe (9") and used all 9 the 1st time. I cooked them exactly the same (water bath, temperature, and setting time) but for 1/2 the length of time. They came out a little thin so I made 7 the 2nd time. I cooked them an extra 10 minutes and they came out much better. The crust was a little thicker and the filling a little taller. I had nothing but compliments both times.

it depends on what you are making, I have tried some of the recipes on the package. On the muffin recipe I added more water, because it was to dry for my taste. On the pancake recipe, you will be adding egg and oil with the water, I do like the mix, the pancakes are especially delicious.

The cups are just like normal muffin cups, smaller at the bottom, larger in diameter at the top. I have been baking with these for a couple of months now and every batch has come out beautifully cooked. I really like this muffin pan.

Well... strictly speaking, they'll fit, but with a lot of room to spare. The cups on this pan are quite a bit wider than mini-muffins, but narrower than standard muffins.

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.

yes they do but not as tight as muffin pans. I prefer to store mine in the boxes

I used them as the pan. They worked out fine as it baked evenly. I did put them on a baking sheet just in case it fell over during baking.

Yes. .I baked muffins at my daughters home and our breakfast muffins turned out of the pan beautifully! I was really surprised because I usually have the muffin paper liners but she was out. So I lightly sprayed with the cooking spray she had on the shelf.

It is suggested that you spray them with a non-stick spray (PAM). After doing that each time, the muffins that stuck like crazy to a regular pan, literally, fell out of these. Cleaning is a snap. I highly recommend these pans!

I've never used them without a muffin pan, but I suppose you could try. They are flexible, so they may end up deformed to some extent. But, I suppose it would work without a muffin pan.

I haven't tried that, but they might. I think it would be hard to get the crust pressed into them without support on the outside (since they flex), but they fit nicely into a standard muffin tin, and you could put them in the tin while pressing the crust.

I have not used mine a lot but the time I did I baked GF cupcakes, they were fine. Don't have anything to compare to since I only bake GF too for my daughter.
