Safety
- The silicone used in baking pans is FDA approved food-grade silicone.
Warning
- Some consumers have reported fumes from silicone baking pans when they are heated.
Claims
- According to Chefsresource.com, silicone tube cake pans are non-stick. Yet many consumers find that tube cake silicone pans need to be sprayed with cooking spray before use.
Considerations
- Due to the flexibility of silicone baking pans, a tube pan with batter in it will be wobbly, and difficult to put into your oven.
Prevention/Solution
- Use a metal cookie sheet under the silicone tube pan to stabilize the pan.
Other complaints
- Consumers report that baking time in silicone tube cake pans is longer than in a metal pan. Cake browning does not occur, and even with extended baking time, sometimes the cake comes out undercooked in the middle.
