This review is from: KitchenAid Silicone 24-Cup Mini Muffin Pan with Sled, Red (Kitchen)
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

So bad I threw it away,

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.

Great if used properly!,

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.
