Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid Silicone 24-Cup Mini Muffin Pan with Sled, RedCustomer Review: there are much better silicone bakeware products Summary: 2 Stars
We have used silicone baking sheets before, which act as non-stick flexible surface that is easy to clean. We'd been noticing silicone bakeware more and more, and were interested in the idea of having the silicone non-stick, easy-clean surface combined with the baking pan. So we finally decided to purchase the kitchen-aid mini-muffin pan when I was interested in having a nice non-stick mold for making marshmallows.
My only comment on the sled is that it does its job. We purchased the pan with sled because the cost was only a little higher. The sled holds the flexible pan well.
Unfortunately the pan was not the wonderful non-stick surface that I had hoped. Even after dusting with corn starch, the marshmallows did not come out the least bit easy. Now this was a true test, as marshmallows are extremely sticky. My hopes were a bit high, and it is understandable that this pan failed here.
When we used it for making muffins, the muffins came out relatively easy, but not as easy I expected them to come out. They tasted pretty good though.
The real problem came in the cleaning. We soaked it in hot water, hand-washed it with a sponge and dish-soap and upon drying, there was clearly visible residue from the muffins! OK, no problem, so we tossed it in the dishwasher (these things are definitely dishwasher safe) and ran it through a standard cycle with dish detergent. After dishwashing, again, there was muffin residue! So I scrubbed and scrubbed with the sponge and soap again, but upon drying, there are still traces of residue.
What we thought was a wondeful merger of silicone and muffin-pan was not even close. This product does not compare to those quality silicone-based baking mats, and it is not a good non-stick muffin pan. I believe there are silicone pan products that may live up to the silicone baking mat's reputation. If I was brave enough to try again, I'd look for material that was more shiny than this product and made by a producer that has been doing silicone for awhile (e.g. Demarle). So, as before, we now stick with our silpat for cookies, and use a non-stick metal pan for muffins.
