Silicone Bakeware, Molds, and Sheets

Silicone is not a good conductor of heat. For this reason, items bake more slowly and brown more evenly, if they do brown. Professional silicone bakeware, such as Flexipan brand molds, come in many shapes and sizes, and silicone baking mats (Silpat pads) fit half and full sheet pans. Silicone products are nonstick and are able to go from oven (up to 580°F/300°C) to freezer. Because they are flexible, product can be released with a twist.
