@RedTop, I just can't get past the oily feel even though I know they are clean.

Just last week I tossed mine.  I still have 3 small ones that were part of the set that I haven't used and I'm wondering do I use them once or just get rid of them now.

I occasionally use the cupcake liners I have for baking. For the most part I do not care for baking utensils of silicone. Some of it smells funny IMO. I have repurposed a lot of it. The muffin liners are wonderful for keeping items in : if I have one egg left from the dozen (it doesn't roll around in the refrig) for screws /nails when doing a project , vitamins for the day, etc.

My silicone mats got stained and kind of yucky.  I now use parchment sheets that I bought on amazon.  Zenology parchment sheets are the best; more expensive, but the best IMO.

 

I get very frustrated with a roll of parchment paper because it doesn't lie flat, nor does it cut well.

I have two types of silicone bakeware. One set is complete silicone without any reenforced  edges and the other are cookie sheets that have the edging. I sue the cookie sheets all the time as oven liners or to put under casserole dishes, etc. The spills just slide off. Great!!! The all silicone bake set I use less often but I bake less these days. The loaf pan alone is worth it. The cake pans are not very deep but they function. I think they function for making those quickie desserts during the weeday. Clean up is great ! Holiday baking, I still reach for the specialty pans or temptations. It just depends on your personal preference.

@faeriemoonI like to use parchament paper also . I was grateful after watching a cooking show where the host tore off a piece and wadded it in a ball, crushed it , then smoothed it out a bit to use. I have done this ever since and it helps it to lie flat.

Bought it a long time ago, didn't like it, don't have one piece of it now.  It is flabby, you have to put it on another pan, it stains and is difficult to clean, and the baked goods seem more steamed than baked.
But that's just my experience. 


 

Ditto - to all of this!

I tried the silicone stuff too, didn't like it.  Don't even have it anymore,

 

What I've recently discovered that works wonderfully for my use is the Reynolds  Heavy-Duty Nonstick Aluminum Foil.

 

The dull side is the nonstick side--so pay attention to that fact if you purchase and try to use it.

 

  It saves me untold amounts of work cleaning up baking sheets by lining those sheets, and works great for wrapping up certain things for reheating that might end up sticking to regular foil.

 

I heartily endorse this Reynolds product.

 

I always placed ordinary Reynolds aluminum foil on baking sheets so I wouldn't have to clean them up later, but this works both for the food AND the pans.

I love these, I've used them for several years without any problems.  I fill them on a sheet pan.

Those are awesome!  I have a few dozen of them and have used them, over the years, in numerous ways.   They perform well and I've never had any kind of problem with cleaning or baking.

 

I also have an 8" or 9" square silicone baking pan but I cannot remember if I've even used it.  Had it for many years.   I think I bought it for making cornbread but ended up using either my square Pyrex or my sectioned, round, Lodge cast iron pan.   Both make cornbread well but I actually prefer it in my Pyrex glass baker.

Where to buy those muffin liners in silicone?I think those could be great for muffins as I don’t like sprays and the paper liners are probably not that healthy either.
