Do they melt if used when cooking or baking? Are they as good and resistant as the silicone ones?

No, These will not melt they are Bamboo (wood) i think they are better than silicone personally, however i treated them before using with olive oil .

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!

No, they don't melt. Bamboo is like a hard wood. They are very sturdy and resistant. Love them!

They are wood, so they will not melt. If exposed to extreme heat (like 500+ degrees or on the grill) they might discolor or even char, but should be fine for normal uses. They might pick up a little discoloration from a marinade unlike the silicone ones, but should not be a problem.

Happy to answer your questions, Steve. I use them in the freezer all the time but don't drop them! They'll break pretty easily if frozen (especially when filled up with frozen goodies). You didn't ask but I'll offer that I'm very careful when heating something up with these in the microwave. Defrosting, yes; warming, sure; getting something pretty darn hot? I've done it successfully and nothing's melted yet, but I'm cautious.

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 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 don't own one of these, but have owned silicone bakeware in the past, and have had mixed results with it. Silicone is a good insulator of heat, and so you'll likely need to increase the recipe temperature slightly (if it's still in the tolerable range of the material, which I believe is 450 for silicone bakeware, but don't quote me on that.) When you bake with it, like any silicone item, you'll want to place it on a cookie sheet, and use plenty of Baker's Joy or Pam with flour, or grease and flour, as this is NOT non stick by any means. Hope this helps!

I did not buy them to use for baking. I use them for pulled sugar work, and they are great for that. They are much thinner than Silpat, which I use for baking. However, I would use these for baking, as you pointed out there is no fiberglass in these and nothing to come in contact with your food. So it's an opinion thing. I like both for different things.

I'm not certain. I do know that it wasn't heat resistant. When I poured hot mix into the mold it changed shape. This could have been my mistake certainly. I only tried them once.

Packaging specifically lists safe for stovetop & microwave cooking. Also safe up to 425 degrees, so I believe they are safe for oven use (similar to my silicone cupcake vessels which are oven safe).

Maybe not hot hot. These are pretty thick, shouldn't melt, but doesn't plastic release some chemicals when hot? They are about 2mm thick.

Hi. These are thinner and not as heavy as silicone, probably not as durable as well, but they work great for delicate cooking such as cookies and desserts.

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!

I haven't had any problems with burning. I love using them to bake cookies - have had excellent results with all recipes.

Hi. The Velcro on these cake strips work very well in the oven and seem to be very heat resistant. I love how easily they are to use.

These are much better. I've had them in quite hot microwaves with no melting. (No doubt the venting helps too!) I think you'll find that they'll do the job for you just fine.

Just like anything plastic use caution when heating in a microwave. I have used them in the microwave many times. Again use caution as plastic weakens when heated and could melt if in too long.

Whether a cookie sheet or pizza stone, it should be fine, and won't melt as long as you follow the package directions to not heat your oven past the burning point of the actual silicone. I think that's 425 or 450 degrees. These are great!! I use them everyday and even bought two more packs because my Mom and Nonna wanted to steal mine ;)

I don't know why not. there's nothing plastic on them that would melt or anything. I know I used to put my Revere Ware Dutch oven into the oven without incident, although I do prefer cast iron for that.
