The Simple Baker Silicone Baking Cups | Review


What they say:

SAFE & EASY TO USE! The Simple Baker Silicone Baking Cup set of 24 pieces fits perfectly into existing cupcake baking pans or you can simply place them directly onto a baking pan. There is no need for using greasy cooking sprays or wasting paper wrappers - just place them on the tray and they are ready to go! Your baked good will remove easily from these BPA free silicone baking cups!

MAKE BAKING FUN! The set comes with 6 vibrant colors - pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple - 4 cups of each color (24 total!). These cups are heat resistant to 475°. Each cup measures 2-5/8 inch diameter x 1.25 inch tall and holds 2.5 fluid ounces.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY! Our reusable silicone baking cups are BPA Free and made with eco-friendly silicone. You will no longer have to waste paper wrappers and you can save money as well!

What I say:

We were sent these cups for review. To test them, we mixed up a batch of muffin batter and baked a third of the batter in the silicone cups (half sitting in a muffin tin, half set on a baking sheet), a third in paper cups and a third in a muffin tin sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. The differences in the muffins were small but significant.

Muffins baked without any liners had nicely browned sides and undersides.

Muffins baked with paper liners were similarly browned, but much of the brown crust was lost when the paper was peeled away.

Muffins baked in the silicone cups were the least browned and crusty. Muffins in the silicone cups on the baking sheet took as long as the others to bake through. In the muffin tins, the muffins in silicone cups took a minute or two longer than the muffins in paper liners and the muffins without liners, presumably because of the insulating effect of the silicone.

Pros: The cups are cute and colorful. The muffins popped right out, quickly and cleanly, leaving just a few crumbs behind. The ridged sides give muffins and cupcakes a classic look, but these ridges aren’t too deep, making the cups easy to clean. Stacked in a clear container, they take up less space than a 12-cup muffin tin and can be used on a baking sheet without a muffin pan, saving space in small kitchens.
