Customer Review: Love the 'sled'...don't care for silicone bakers
Summary: 2 Stars
This was my first foray into the world of silicone bakeware. As far as a product goes, it is OK. The sled gives it some much needed stability. Kitchenaid silicone is very well made. There...it has earned it's two stars. Aside from that, I am NOT a fan of silicone bakeware. I have tried non-stick bakeware (this was big when I got married, and I recieved a set for our wedding), cheapie pans from the discount store, silicone, and pure aluminum. In my book, the pure aluminum bakeware always wins hands down against any other products. Non-stick has a dark finish that retains heat and overbrowns baked goods even if they're still 'raw' on the inside. Cheapie pans rust and are cheap in the meanest sense of the word...save your $2. And here is my diatribe on Silicone...
Silicone CONS: smells strongly 'chemically' (to coin a phrase :) for the first several uses, and is just floppy and annoying to work with. It is also VERY hot coming out of the oven, and cools SLOWLY. A giant floppy HOT pan is not my idea of fun. I have also noticed that a giant red plastic pan of hot muffins is a major draw to my kids. The pan may look Little Tikes, but it is HOT! I have to use a cookie pan under it to keep it stabilized, but I think this affects the heat circulation in the oven. Another drawback to Silicone bakeware is actually touted as a 'plus': You can 'save space' by storing it rolled up!. Hello. It takes up the same mass rolled or flat, you'd have to bunjie cord the stuff to keep it rolled, none of the pieces 'nest' together, and pretty much would need to devote a drawer or wide flat storage space for your collection of bakeware. I store my bakeware standing up...which is not an option for floppy silicone. The floppyness can also affect the finished shape of your baked goods, and is ANNOYING when you're trying to loosed and remove baked items. Silicone also holds dust, is not 'scrubbable'...and let's face it. It's just WIERD.
Silicone PROs: it makes great spatulas/scrapers and good flat hot pads (not mits...they're too stiff and wierd feeling). I'm trying people. I was really excited to use the wonder-stuff in my kitchen, but it's just not working out. :)
Why I LOVE aluminum...(and just because it is silvery metal doesn't mean that it's aluminum)
-it's non-stick naturally...try putting a sheet of aluminum foil down on your cookie pan or cassarole next time you bake. Let the pan cool for a minute, and the aluminum lifts right off and the food peels right off it easily!
-Aluminum is light colored and is an EXCELLENT conductor of heat. Which means that the muffin pan reaches the same temp as the hot oven within nanoseconds, and when you remove the hot pan from the oven, it cools quickly to room temperature.
-Aluminum is the bakeware of choice in commercial kitchens because of it's excellent conductive properties...plus it's lightweight.
-It is inexpensive, fairly easy to find, and has been made for years. I'm still using Grandma's muffin tins from the 1950's!
-Aluminum pans nest together and store flat or upright.
-Though it has been touted as dangerous for cooking-pots (it can leach Aluminum into acidic foods like Chili if you simmer in an aluminum pot), that is really not a consideration for baked goods. (Unless your brownies are really acidic :)
So before purchasing a bread rack/pan for six mini loaves, just envision how easily those six aluminum mini loaf pans would nest and store as opposed to the giant floppy pan with sled. And for heaven sakes...use muffin and bread liners to cut down on the washing :)
Description of KitchenAid Silicone 6-in-1 Loaf Pan with Sled, Red
One look at this rubbery bakeware and those uninformed about silicone will laugh at the possibility that it?s actually safe to bake in it. But safe it is and KitchenAid is just one of many bakeware manufacturers that is producing pans in this revolutionary material. Made of FDA-approved food-grade silicone, this mini loaf pan bakes six 6-by-3-inch loaves of bread and is perfect for baking holiday gifts, such as pumpkin cranberry bread, in bulk. The pan bakes just as evenly as your metal pans and at temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, this silicone pan has the benefit of being safe for the refrigerator, freezer, and microwave and can withstand sudden temperature changes from one extreme to another without buckling. The nonstick surface releases loaves easily and is safe for use with metal utensils aside from knives or serrated blades. This loaf pan rests in a nonstick metal wire sled with handles, which offers good stability for transferring baked goods in and out of the oven. For easy cleanup, this pan is dishwasher-safe and will retain its nonstick cooking surface through hundreds of dishwasher cycles. The metal sled should be washed by hand. KitchenAid provides a one-year hassle-free replacement warranty plus a lifetime limited warranty on this pan. --Cristina VaamondeLoaf Pans
