Are these ready to go right out of the package or do they need to be baked before the first use?

They are ready to go. I use one in my housing when I dive. Try to acclimate your camera to the temperature if it has been in an air conditioned enviorment and that will also help if you are going to use it in a warmer place, like diving in 80+ degree water.

I'm out of town but I do have a few left. I will measure when I get home. They are small.... one or two bites and not very deep. They Are very good and are already baked.

No, not before opening. After they are opened (if not finished) they need to be refrigerated.

I baked some without any problem. Because they hold such a small amount, you don't have to leave them in the oven long to cook the filling, so there is little chance of burning them.

I heated them on high for about 20 minutes before the first use. Then I oil them each time before use. They really clean up nice.

They seem to be fresh - they smell good enough for me to eat :-) I'm sure they were baked several months ago though so don't think they are just freshly baked.

I don't believe they would be good if you baked them. They are fairly thin and I think they would burn. I use them for choc caramel tarts which is cooked before filled.

No, they are uncoated. I find if I microwave them for a few seconds, the heat 'melts' them a little inside, giving them an extra sweet 'caramel' flavor.

No - they are great, however definitely not for baking. They are durable plastic.

They cant go in the oven. They seem to do fine with stove top heat. I think they say 500 degrees. They mainly warn you not to go from hot to cold quickly. Ive had the them 6month+ and use them often and the nonstick still works.

I have baked brownies at 350 F, but they may be ready before the full amount of time suggested. Check them at least 5 minutes or more early; you can always put them back in the oven for a bit! The fact that they are baking separately tends to make them cook faster. And as others have said, be sure to coat everything thoroughly with cooking spray. I like to set the pan in my stainless steel sink, then use a paper towel to wipe the extra spray around the sink. Makes it nice and shiny, and water just beads up.

They are ready to use. I did not season them. They are for individual use, however, not very big.

Hi, These are already baked, all you have to do is add filling. Thanks, Joe

I bake them at 350 degrees approximately 14 minutes and let cool on rack for 20 minutes and have never had any problems. For the crust 1/3 stick melted butter, 3 tblsp. sugar, 1 cup of graham or chocolate crumbs. My go-to recipe is 1-8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, 1 egg, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 cup sugar. I change it up with other homemade extracts, such as raspberry, strawberry, etc., and then add fruit or drizzle on top. Hope this helps.

I would treat them as "muffins" . maybe 10-15 min and check for doneness. (either stick or just because you know). If I use those - and fill them 1/2 full rather dry corn bread - it takes app 14-16 min for them to rise and be done.. at 350. But if I fill them 3/4 full (raw batter) then it takes close to 20 min for them to be done.

No they will not if you put them in a sealed container keep in dry cupboard they will last forever, you need to order at lease 2 months in advance, some times things for cakes get to you fast but most of time it takes a while I order a lot of supplies for baking and found the sooner the better if your planning on a certain date! Good luck to you and enjoy they are really cute. Sereina

I did not refrigerate them; however, I would keep them in a cool/dry place as they are the type of ornamentation made out of sugar. Hope this helps. I've found them in stores in the cake baking section and they are certainly not refrigerated there.
