Review on 🧁 Harold Import Silicone Muffin Pan - 12 Cup Size, Durable Non-Stick Baking Tray by Trey Crosland

Since my old cupcake molds have been looking a little shabby lately, I decided to use this silicone mold, mainly because I needed a non-stick surface without chemicals sprayed onto the surface. (I have a bird, and nonstick surfaces can release toxic fumes into the air.) This pan turned out to be just what I needed. The manufacturer recommends placing this pan on a baking sheet so it stays firmly in place as you slide it in and out. While this makes things easier, I've found this cupcake pan to be a lot stiffer than the others. However, you must be careful to slow down the baking time by placing it on a baking sheet that is too thick. The only thing I don't like about the baking sheet is the manufacturer's recommendation to season the silicone before first use - and every time after. This is not a condiment for the pan, but an oiling before each use. I've tried Wilton and KitchenAid silicone cupcake molds but the results were disastrous as they couldn't hold the mold out of the mold. This HIC muffin pan works MUCH better. Debbie Lee Wesselman
