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?

Things You'll Need

  1. Instructions

    • 1

      Follow the recipe on whether to grease or flour the baking pan, yet keep in mind that some rubber muffin pans are nonstick. Check the manufacturer's guide for clarification.

    • 2

      Pour batter evenly into muffin tins and follow the recipe for the correct temperature and baking time. Baking times with rubber muffin pans may be slightly less than when using traditional aluminum muffin tins. Place the muffin pan into the oven by transporting the bakeware on top of a baking tray or cookie sheet to secure the rubber pan and prevent it from spilling.

    • 3

      Remove tray from the oven and, to take muffins out of the pan, upturn the tray and push on the bottom to loosen the food, peeling the baked product to separate and release it from the muffin pan. Do not use sharp metal objects to loosen or remove food from the muffin pan, as this will damage the rubber.

    • 4

      Soak muffin pan in warm, soapy water to clean residue from the tray or wipe clean with a soft cloth. Do not use scouring pads or abrasive soap to clean, as this will damage the silicone. Rubber muffin pans are dishwasher-safe.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can freeze most rubber muffin tins and can place in the toaster oven.

  • To microwave the rubber muffin pan, simply place the tray in the center of the microwave and cook according to the recipe.

  • Do not apply rubber muffin pans to direct heat, and do not place on stovetops.
