Are these for cutting English muffin dough? Or just baking?

rings are for making crumpets. Used to hold the shape while on the griddle, not for cutting. May have other purposes (for eggs?) but crumpets are the main intent. Check out http://www.europeancuisines.com/England-English-The-Best-Crumpet-Crumpets-Recipe

I have only used them for baking but I suppose they could be used for cutting the dough although the recipe I use is pretty sticky.

I do NOT think so. The edges are rolled and not sharp. Also no handle to use as a cutter.

I have used mine both ways. They don't have a sharp cutting edge, but they did work for cutting as well.

I use them all the time and for bread baking. It does go to 500 as that's how I start my loaves. I only buy these as I've found them the perfect size for my sheet pans and easy to use. Good purchase and will recommend over any others I've tried.

I baked my muffins on an airbake nonstick cookie sheet and it worked perfect. If you have one of those pans you might give that a shot! Good luck!

I haven't used it for bread dough or stiff cookie dough. I would have to say, no, it wouldn't work well for those purposes. I've used mine for cheesecake and similar consistancies.

This should work fine, as long as you don't pause between the clicks and let the dough break. It helps if you tilt the press so the dough is coming out parallel to the cookie sheet.

Hello Angel-Kat, English muffins are a bit on the edge...however I toast them all the time and pull them out with my fingers and have not been burned and/or don't have a problem with it. So far excellent service out of the toaster and we love the automatic function for lowering and raising when done. I hope this helps.

They're pretty sturdy. A cookie sheet would be a good idea though. By the way, the 2" ones really aren't what I'd recommend for baking any thing that will rise a lot and run over-like banana breads. firmer bread loaves would likely be fine. Hope this helps.

I mainly use this for arranging dough before processing. So I use knives only for cutting the dough to smaller size. I did not find knives getting dull.

Yes. They really retain heat so either lower the temp or lower the baking time. Good quality.

Yes and no these are much smaller, normally used for cutting different shapes. I do have the more larger ones (3x6 and 3x8 where you use to layer your desserts), now you can layer very small and thin items with these as well.

yes, they're just the rings...that spatula looking thing is the only 'bottom' they have. I have used them to bake cakes by putting them on a silpat sheet, but they do still leak a wee bit, and I wouldn't try a particularly runny batter at all. But given that wasn't what they were actually designed to do, I thought they worked rather well.

Yes...These are oven safe. The company included a recipe for english muffins and crumpets which describes baking them in an oven. I actually use them on a griddle to make Alton Brown's english muffins.

Yes, they work beautifully. I have baked pumpkin and other quick breads in mine and the loaves release cleanly. The corrugated surface of the pan leaves a light imprint on the bottom and sides of the loaf. I don't even need to grease the pans, although I sometimes use just a very light rub of cooking oil. It is recommended to not use the aerosol pan sprays such as Pam. Yeast breads bake and do not stick to the pan at all either.

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've used them for cupcakes and muffins and have had no problems. They are standard, white liners, and I don't believe they have any additional coating to protect from oil/butter in the batter.

I am not familiar with the baking process for English muffins or crumpets, however these accessories were designed to be used on a griddle to prevent run over and maintain a uniform shape. They are made of a silicone almost rubber like material, they are very pliable.

I think they are designed more for cutting biscuits or breads, or even cutting cookies, but I don't see why you couldn't use it as a ring mold as long as you don't try stacking it too tall because they are only about 1 1/4" tall.
