Trudeau Silicone Muffin Cups, X-Large 6 ounce , Set of 4

Finally got to put these to the test and they exceeded my expectations. I had purchased silicon cupcake cups before and used them a few times. They are thinner and I think a bit harder to use and clean. The thickness of these was more than the other cups I purchased and because of that they are much easier to fill while holding their shape. I did coat them with a little oil before using as suggested and cooked some whole bran muffins in them. The muffins cooked as expected from my past experience using muffin tins. They released much more easily than they did from the tins or from the smaller cupcake cups I have previously purchased. Oh they also held their shape when I moved them from the counter to the oven. I put them on a cooking sheet. The smaller ones sometimes would distort if they were filled a bit too much and the motion would sometimes cause them to spill some batter out.Once the muffins were cooked they fell out of the cup in one solid piece with virtually no pieces of the muffin left in the cup. Anything stuck to the side came off easily when I put them under running water and a few scrubs with a washing sponge they were clean. Not sure how long it would take to really make these cost effective but my experience with making muffins in tins or in tins using a paper cup has never been very satisfactory. The tins never hold up and getting the paper cup off can be a challenge when you over filled them and have stuff baked over the top. These are very easy to use and take up very little space to store. I also have muffin ceramic cups but these are so much superior to those that I know that I will probably by another set and put those ceramic cups away.

It would've been helpful to have the actual dimensions listed in the description: when I opened the box I thought they had forgotten to include the item. After digging through the box almost completely filled with packing material, I came to this tiny plastic box with all 12 muffin cups inside, and I just burst out laughing. These things aren't small; they're tiny, less than two inches across and one inch deep. The total volume of one, filled to the rim, is 4 teaspoons -- just over a tablespoon. I put chopped walnuts and dried cranberries in my muffins, but one good-sized hunk of walnut would fill this thing up so much that there would hardly be any room left for the batter! I thought about sending them back, and at a buck a piece I still might, but meanwhile they're a conversation starter: guests can't help but notice the "Easy Bake Oven" muffin cups on the kitchen counter. I bought individual cups so I could have more flexibility in arranging things in the oven, and so I don't end up with one empty cup in the fixed muffin pan. I'll see what else is available, but next time if dimensions aren't listed, I'm calling the manufacturer first to find out!

We tried thse a couple times already with yellow cake and white cake. They stand up well in the oven. These are good quality and there is only a little sticking.My only complaint is that the side ridges are sharp angles that trap the cake after baking, and this causes excessive sticking even if Pam coated first. Some cupcakes break in half when being removed and cleaning inside each ridge is slow.This was a little better than 2 other brands we tried, but these cups were not as good as the best brand we tried with wave-like side-walls. Wave-shape wall cupcake cups have more rounded edges that are easier remove the cakes from without breaking and easier to clean.

So I was expecting some large muffin cups. I looked at my muffin pan that makess 6 muffins and also my pan that makes 12. Since this was a set of 6 and they're described as being large cups...Well, turns out these are small muffin cups.I decided on 3 stars because they seem to be a good product. They lose one star because the description is WRONG WRONG WRONG and another because they're so inexpensive that it's not worth the time, effort or money to send them back. They'll sit in the box until a friend or relative who wants these drops by and takes them away.

There is another brand that makes similar sized cups at a lower price with more in the package. So I leave it up to you to decide if it's worth the extra cost per cup, and that's the only reason I deducted a star. These have shiny bottoms and the other brand has kind of a matte bottom. They work exactly the same though. I bought both cause I needed large cups.

these are nice and large. they work great. i always spray mine with cooking spray first. the muffins come out very easily and i have been making some really delicious muffins with these. so i am very happy with this product. they do clean up easy but sometimes i have to let them soak a while in soapy water and they rinse clean very easily.update: they work really great! they clean up easily. i have made so many muffins and even crispy topped biscuits in them. i ordered more of them and like usual i always wait till the price is right. these are the right size for my cooking... the extra large ones.

I bought these muffin cups for a project I was going to do with the grandchildren,to me they are not extra-large. I was disappointed , but they are silicone muffin cups, just not what I was looking for.

If your looking for a review on how well these work for baking, keep scrolling. I purchased these to put in my minivan cup holders. As a mother of five, I was sick of scraping gunk out of all the cup holders in my van. I popped one of these in each holder and they fit PERFECT! Now when they get dirty, I just take them out and wipe them out or run them through the dish washer. Problem solved!!!

I bought the Trudeau small silicone muffin cups to make mini muffins/brownies for my kids. I had previously purchased the Le creuset and Regency silicone muffin cups and had great success with them. I've never had to spray either the Le creuset or the Regency silicone muffin cups and the muffins always come out cleanly. I love them because they are so easy to use and clean. I usually just place them in my muffin tin and pour the batter in them. Once they were done, I would pop out the silicone muffin cups and put away the muffin tin without having to wash the tin.I found the Le creuset to be a superior quality but it did not come in a mini size. I have little kids and they like the small muffins.I made brownies tonight in both the Trudeau muffin cups and the Le creuset. The Le creuset peeled off nicely without losing a single bite of the brownie. The Trudeau was another story, we ended up having to spoon out the brownie with a spoon.I will be going back to the Regency silicone muffin cups for my mini muffins.

Not that pleased with product. The term 'small' is a bit misleading. These are teeny tiny miniature cups. I bought them to use as dividers for my kids lunch boxes but they don't hold anything (maybe one grape) so now they are useless to me.
