How to Use a Rubber Muffin Pan
Silicone rubber muffin pans are ideal baking instruments for muffins and cupcakes without paper liners, and their flexibility and ability to withstand high temperatures in ovens make them handy baking utensils. Silicone muffin pans differ from traditional, tin muffin pans mainly because they have a rubbery, almost floppy form. Many cooks prefer them since some pans are nonstick and therefore allow for easy removal of muffins or cupcakes. You can use rubber muffin pans in the microwave, but they're most commonly used in the oven. Does this Spark an idea?
