(36) Baking Essentials Silicone Baking Cups, Set of 12 Reusable Cupcake Liners in Four Colors - USE for Muffin, Gelatin, Snacks, Frozen Treats, Ice Cream or Chocolate Shell-lined Dessert Molds, Non-stick

I purchased these to bake with so I would have some nonstick baking cups for both baking and as molds. I recently started cooking low carb and the almond flour and coconut flour tend to stick more in the pans than regular flour. I purchased these hoping that they would be more nonstick. These work perfectly. I made some muffins tonight that were made from almond flour and they popped right out the the mold. They are a bit flimsy when pouring batter so i put them into a muffin tin and then put in the batter.These are a medium size mold.They also work great in my daughters lunch box as separators for different items.

I spent hours reading reviews trying to find a good set of silicone baking cups to invest it. These worked great for me (note that silicone baking cups are best for baked goods you want to stay moist in my experience). However, I found out later that, as these are on the cheaper end, they are not 100% silicone but have plastic fillers in the middle, and considering that microwaving in plastic has a definite negative effect on the food in the container, I extrapolate that baking food in a silicone baking cupcake with a plastic filler is also not beneficial.Pinch test: Fail. (Shows that there is plastic filler, not 100% silicone.)Size: Perfect, same as regular baking cups.Color: As pictured.Baking: I used a cupcake pan, didn't even try them on their own. They're hardier than paper baking cups but still pretty flexible in comparison to my 100% silicone set.Dishwasher experience: The first time went great and they stayed in place, the second time they ended up all over the dishwasher. I guess it might depend on your dishwasher or on what else is in there, but it's hand washing for me, which isn't as awful as it sounds once you get the hang of it.Note: Make sure everyone understands that these are reusable and not to be thrown away - I quickly lost one after a party (with adults, not even kids) and I imagine it's in a dumpster somewhere. In my circle at least, people are not used to these.Final assessment: I will not be using these anymore given the plastic concern. I am very happy with my new purchase of these 100% silicone baking cups: [...]and find that having more than 12 is fantastic as many recipes make 12+ cupcakes/muffins.

I am trying a diet that focuses on higher protein meals. I bought these to line my old metal pans and they fit just right. I make a 12 egg scrambled egg-sausage-veggie-shredded cheese mix and pour evenly into the 12 silicone lined muffin cups. Bake 25 minutes. The first time I didn't have these liners but I brushed with Crisco and lined with parchment paper, then brushed Crisco over the parchment again. They stuck and I had trouble peeling off the parchment paper. I bought these and made the recipe again. I forgot to oil them. Guess what?! They don't need it! The little egg muffins came right out!! My husband put four of them into a 10 in pan of boiling water and made cute poached eggs. Worked very well. I soak them in warm soapy water and towel dry to keep them in good condition. Don't hesitate to buy these.

I tested these cups vs a regular non-stick muffin tin. The muffin tin had nothing stick to it at all, whereas the cups did have some muffin that was left behind. I also tested them with non-stick spray. The spray helped a little in the cups. The non-stick tin did not need any spray, as even the non-sprayed tins had muffins that slid right out. I will still use these for other purposes such as mixing small amounts of liquids/solids for cooking. But if you want something to cook muffins in, use a non-stick tin.

Never had silicone baking utensils before so wanted to see what they were all about but these things have a strong odor that doesn't wash out. Maybe all silicone products have this odor, so I think I'm going to stick to my paper muffin liners. They also look like they'd be hard to wash with all those tiny grooves but I haven't put this to the test. They are also quite a bit smaller then regular size muffins are. I bought these to try making little cupcakes in my Instant pot but once they got here and had such a strong odor I'm concerned about what chemical fumes would also be baking in my cupcakes using them so I will just be baking my in the oven in paper liners from now on and try to find another use for these silicone cups. Sorry!

The best part of this product is the fact that they're reusable. They have held up well for me in the freezer, I use them to make individual frozen treats, so I can't/won't comment on how well they do with baking. They're soft enough that you can literally unroll them around the item once you're done with them without damaging it. But that same quality is a slightly annoying factor, you've got to wash/dry them after each use. So, good for small batches of stuff, but I wouldn't go making an entire party's worth of cupcakes using these or you'll find yourself washing out the nooks and crannies of these things for hours.

I am writing this review in my husband's account as we share it. There is nothing not to like about these baking cups. I have used these for muffins and cupcakes and was very pleased with how they performed for both. I do like the fact that that they are reusable and I am not creating needless waste. I use them every day for my son's lunchbox to separate items within in his lunch. I wash them on the top drawer of the dishwasher and have had no issues. I would certainly buy these again.

I've gotten very 'hooked" on Silicone baking products. They make baking so much easier, as nothing sticks to them. These are so colorful and cute and fit into my muffin tin perfectly. I haven't tried them without the muffin tin, but that will come in handy for my toaster oven (the only oven I have). Another great use for these is as a holder for my beadwork. I simply put them in my extra muffin tin and the beads don't stick and I can easily keep them separated. They are also handy for when I want to dump the extra beads back into their tubes.
