How do these molds stand upright in the oven?

The caps are flat. I take out all the oven racks except for one on the very bottom, and then stand it upright. My sister makes them on their side, but for some reason I can't get the bread to cook evenly on its side. That doesn't really make sense, although I have a convection oven, and maybe that is why I have to cook these standing upright.

Thank you Johnny for your answer. Obviously I thought they would have to lay down; but all the directions/comments read you had to "stand" them up. Again, thank you.

it cannot. It's no good. It pops out from both sides when baking. It's hard to wash too

They don't stand upright in the oven or on the counter. You have to make sure you mix the bread just right (or use frozen) it raises to fill the whole mold.

They all swing open, so standing won't be a problem. They will likely hide in the oven and dishwasher (no worries, there are air holes in the back) so if you can't find them one day and you hear snickering coming from the kitchen.... ;)

I don't know for sure but my guess is that it would work fine. They should rise the same as if you were baking them in the oven. Good luck

I'm still happy with mine. I have 6 molds (3 sets). Much better than the molds that are just rubber (they end up with flat spots where the sit at the bottom).

I thought they were fairly stable. I was hesitant because the holder seemed flimsy when the molds aren't locked in, but I didn't have a problem at all, moving it from my counter to my freezer.

Agree with the candle comment. The bags are thin so it's easy enough to make them stand up if whatever you're putting in them has a flat bottom, or can spread to make a flat bottom (i.e. a flowable candy, like M&Ms;). I used the bags I purchased for wrapping up stacks of cookies, which easily stood up after packaging them.

They don't need to propped upright but I wish they came with a little stand so they'd freeze evenly. We've had zero spills when they're laid on their side with the top on securely.

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.

They are stiff enough to stand up on their own. I keep a set on my desk in a vertical sorter and they stand up straight without bending.

The walls are straight up and down. I have used Wilton pans for over 30 years. Wilton products are superb in their performance and durability.

I purchased these for a friend and she use to work as a baker and she loves them. I know they were heavy and I would assume they don't warp in the oven or she would have said something.

I take food straight out of the oven and set it right on them. I have had no problems at all i use them for everything. I just love them i have two sets

I didn't notice any buckling. They seemed pretty sturdy when I baked with them.

They are almost flat. I have no trouble with water from the dishwasher. My upper rack holds them on a slight slant.

I am using mine as 'drawers' for a tall set of deep shelves in my apartment kitchen. They are each filled with 'stuff' and have never seen the oven yet! But I can see no reason why they would not work well in my stove if I chose to use them for their 'standard' purpose.

Make sure to refrigerate the chocolate until firm. If they don't dump right out, give the mold a gentle twist. If that doesn't work, gently tap the mold (upsidedown) on the counter. They should fall out.

I tried keeping them in a paper bag. Generally I find that they either mold if you keep them wet or dry out if you keep them in a dry place, so I'm not sure what to suggest.
