Freshware Silicone Baking Cups [12-Pack] Reusable Cupcake Liners Non-Stick Muffin Cups Cake Molds Cupcake Holder in 6 Rainbow Colors, Star

There's a lot of bakeware out there that claims to be pure silicone, but fails the pinch test, indicating that it's been adulterated with cheap fillers. All the Freshware silicone I've bought passes this test! No matter how much you pinch and squeeze it, it keeps its color, showing no white fillers. Also, Freshware silicone is thicker and sturdier than other brands.These baking cups are no exception. I like making a big batch of rolls, keeping them in the fridge or freezer, then thawing, letting them rise, and baking them fresh, however many I want, whenever I want them, and these cups are perfect for that. I can fit a row of them in my Rand solar cooker, or lots on a baking sheet in the oven.Their ruffled shape is a nice change from a typical cupcake shape. Freshware sells a very similar design, with six shapes like this stuck together in one tray, but these twelve individual cups are a better deal, and easier to store, since they stack. Also, they're easier to fill, since I can hold each cup over my bowl of batter to catch any drips while filling them.And they're completely nonstick. I do oil them before filling them.Helpful hint: to prevent them from flying around in the dishwasher, I lay a cooling rack on top of them. This holds them in place.

Over the last few years I have become a silicone convert. I have many baking pans (in multiples, too) from Freshware and other manufacturers, and they bake wonderfully. These little flower cups are no exception.The instructions suggest lightly brushing the cups with melted butter or oil before using them the first time. I did that, and the crustless chocolate cheesecakes I backed in them slid right out after cooling. I made a really neat kind of cheesecake cookie. A little firmer that a regular cheesecake (I overbaked a few minutes) but delicious nonetheless.Though these are dishwasher safe, I find it's just as easy to toss them in a sink of hot soapy water for a few minutes before washing them out. I did have to turn them inside out to get the last bit of chocolate from the lower bottom crease. It's a small diameter, and the batter clung to it. Even with that extra 10 seconds, they wash quickly and easily.I love these beautiful colors, too. I wish they would use these colors for all their products. Dang, I'd have to buy them all again in pastel colors instead of their "Freshware Red".And as far as those claims about these cups not being 100% silicone, I wasn't able to find anything on the internet about the "pinch test," leading me to believe that's one of those urban myths started by who knows who and perpetuated by people who probably mean well, but accept such stories and pass them on without checking out the truth for themselves.

Great product!These really *do* pass the pinch test. If you pinch or twist and it turns white it has plastic fillers instead of pure 100% food-grade silicone. These do NOT turn white and therefore are 100% food-grade silicone. it will be Freshware for me in the future whenever possible because I bought I few of their other molds as well and they all pass the pinch test!I was hesitant buying these at first because most cubcake liners fan out like an accordion, as the paper liners we are used to. After being burnt by buying ones that did not pass the test, then reading numerous reviews and answers to questions, it seemed that there were no liners of that type that would not break the bank. In the end I am VERY GLAD I bought this style. These are VERY EASY to CLEAN - nothing getting caught in the nooks and crannies, unlike the pleated ones. Also, these are so versatile - I even use them for homemake bath booms,. In addition, they are so sturdy, I have used them to hold snacks for my grandchildren - they accordion style that I initially tried was quite flimsy. These are study yet flexible.As a surprising bonus, hubby likes them - he said was thrilled to no longer fight trying to peel off the paper liner, he liked the fluted edges it gave the baked goods.

The right size, sturdy, and easy to clean and use. I made pecan pie tartlets and they worked remarkably well. Portion size is perfect and they clean up in a snap. I would buy them again.

Bought these in 2018 and have used them with our 3 young girls, and run through the dishwasher countlessly. They're still in like-new condition. Also, fit perfectly in the 3 section LunchBot container. 100% recommend.

My only issue was that they were smaller than average cupcake size and were messy when baked and risen. Otherwise a great item. Have a plan for all the leftover batter.

If you are considering purchasing these little mini silicone molds, know that if it's quality you're looking for look no further. I was worried that these little molds may be too "flimsy" and also be difficult to release baked/cooked foods, not so! I used the little square mini molds for the first time this week when I made mini cheesecakes in my Instant Pot IP-DUO60 7-in-1 Multi-Functional Pressure Cooker, 6Qt/1000W. The little cheesecakes turned out perfect and I was able to pop the little cake out of the mold without a hitch. I like the molds so well that I am going to order a second set of the 12-Pack little squares. I like the assorted fun colors too. I will attach a picture to show you the finished product of one of the mini cheesecakes I made in the Instant Pot.

Awesome performance! Held shape. Beautiful results! I bought these mainly for a 2 step dessert that requires a partial bake, removal from the form and a second bake to finish. Hobbit Honey Cakes. As you can see from the photo, they released perfectly and the shape is spot on! These were the Star Shape. I even forgot to spray with baking spray and the hals baked cakes popped right out. I placed the cups on a cookie sheet as I worked and in the oven. They are a wee bit on the small size, but for a small cake or muffin (number 30 or 24 scoop, just under 3 oz., is perfect) these make a nice 2-3 bite delight. You might want a second set if you can fit the extras in your oven at the same time. I'm getting a second and more shapes. Love these!

I got the "6-Star" design, and the image is a little deceptive, they are much smaller than they look.Ideal for SMALL cup-cakes, but not big enough to use for making muffins, (not even small muffins).To get an idea of their size, they just hold a 700gram egg. So ideal for poaching eggs in my air fryer.So not a total loss. : -)

These are really lovely!The colours are beautiful and the silicone is quite sturdy!One thing I love about silicone baking forms is that when you're cleaning them you can actually turn them inside out, to make sure that they're clean.I'm not sure of their size, as they seem to be a bit smaller than a regular cupcake but a bit larger than a mini cupcake!In an case they're just fine with me!

I didn't buy these for baking, rather for making bath and beauty products. The mold is fantastic. Holds its shape even when packed firm. Easy release of anything I make in it. Works well both at room temperature and in the oven. I will be buying another set for my baking drawer soon because I am sure I will get the same quality results with cupcakes and other goodies.

Ok so I love these for using in my son's lunch box to separate foods but these (like many silicone baking cups) are terrible for baking. The silicone prevents the heat from being evenly distributed so you end up with well cooked muffin tops and then muffin bottoms that are undercooked. I would not recommend them for cooking. For separating foods in lunch boxes I'd recommend them.

Glad I bought these Reusable Cupcake and Muffin Baking Cups. They're a nice size, easy to clean, and the perfect size for mini-quiche, muffins or even mini cheesecakes, etc. I would recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.
