Can these be used for baking (food) purposes? It would seem they are even purer than food grade silicone. Am I right?

They are good up to 500 degrees F so I'm pretty sure they are good for baking I know a few people who have used them when making certain edibles...

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.

I have been using them for decorative purposes only on cookies. I've not put them in the oven. It doesn't say on the jar. Don't think I've been much help.

I think the silicon is safe to 400 degrees, but it has been a while since I read the instructions that came with them. I haven't tried putting them in the oven myself. But I put them in the microwave all the time. They are designed to vent specifically for that purpose. I love these for freezing leftovers for lunches.BTW, someone else posted that the lids are rubber. That is incorrect. The reason I purchased them was because the lid was silicone.

I would think so, yes. They are made of silicone which is heat resistant to 500 degrees F. Also, they don't absorb flavors in the same way that your silicone rubber spatula/scraper doesn't. That leaves me to wonder why you might be freezing tomato sauce in them but thats another question for another day ;)

I have never done that, I just use mine for making candy. But I don't see why not, there are alot of different silicone pans ;-)

Not being a chemist I had to look up BPA ( a synthetic, carbon based). This bread pan says it is 100% silicone, so I surely wouldn't think so.

They are for baking: I use them for making banana breads and savory breads. They are paper, so I would not put really liquid contents in these.

Hi. I don't think they are advertised as acid free so I wouldn't use them for something important. Also, they aren't exactly airtight.

They are food grade silicone, oven safe to 475 degrees/ 250 Centigrade, freezer and microwave safe. I love them. I even use them for molds for my cold process soap making. They hold up beautifully.

I have similar silicone bakeware that takes oven but not broiler. I would be cautious because they are taller and don't have a rim for extra strength. I use them often in my kitchen for mix and prep duties. Love the flex for pouring.

I would guess not. They are pretty flimsy. There is no structure. Even if the plastic made it through, they would probably be misshapen. Most silicone cooking ware has a metal structure the silicone fits in. This is just silicone.

These are only meant to be used as a moisturizers. Although safe to eat, this is not meant for food and therefore has no flavor. They need to be processed into a form that is usable because the raw form is hard, not malleable enough to apply as moisturizer whenever.

Yes, you can use the silicon. I've made macarons using the silicon on a metal cookie sheet and I've also made them only using a metal cookie sheet. The silicon seems to make them cook more evenly - much better cookie texture and better consistency.

I have used them on silicone. Silicone already has insulating properties; but, it still helps the cake bake flat. I did have to increase the baking time.

I have not used them in the microwave, but my husband says that they are dishwasher, oven, freezer, and microwave proof. Upon checking, all sellers of silicone kitchen products claim they are microwaveable. I guess if I were to try that, I would start slowly at first and stay close to keep an eye out. But it sounds like it is safe.

I have only used these to decorate cookies....I've never put them in the oven during baking. I find these are much more coarse than sanding sugar. I hope this helps you.
