Amazon.com Review

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 muffin pan bakes 24 chocolate-orange mini cupcakes and is perfect for prepping treats for a child’s birthday party. 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 cupcakes easily and is safe for use with metal utensils aside from knives or serrated blades. This muffin 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 Vaamonde

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...Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars So bad I threw it away, May 3, 2005

I saw the 3-star reviews here, but decided to ignore them as this pan was on sale for a very good price. That was a big mistake.

1. The first problem is with the size of the muffin cups -- they are significantly more shallow than in a typical mini-muffin pan.

2. The silicone warped from the heat while in the oven, spilling the meager contents of the tiny cups over the edges, making flat, crooked, ugly muffins.

3. The silicone did not release the muffins easily. I did spray it with nonstick spray before filling, and allowed the muffins to cool completely before I tried to get them out.

I didn't even bother to try and wash it, so I don't have any comment about the ease of washing. I won't be wasting any more time and ingredients in it, so I threw it away. I wish I could get my money back. This is not the quality you would expect from KitchenAid.

I had read reviews for other silicon bakeware and was skeptical. I saw complaints of a bad smell when baking and the silicon not being non stick enough. But I received this mini muffin 'pan' as a gift and tried it out. I washed it first in warm soapy water as recommended and then made mini lemon poppyseed muffins. They baked up great and I maybe noticed a slight rubbery smell when cooking. But if I was not looking for it, I proabaly would not have smelled a thing. The muffins did pop out pretty well, but I would definitely use cooking spray next time. I had to kind of fold the cups inside out on some of them to get them out, and I mushed them in the process. They tasted great and cooked very evenly. All in all I was very pleased.

If you do buy any silicon bakeware, I would say to always get the metal 'sled' that is available. Otherwise you would have a wobbly pan and your baking will not come out even. Putting the bakeware in and out of the oven without the sled gets tricky.
