Help with silicon loaf tin please.

Olliebeak

Last week I treated myself to a 2lb silicon loaf 'tin' from ASDA. It didn't have any special instructions with it, so I just used it as normal.

I was very disappointed to find that the cake I made had stuck at the bottom of the 'tin' :mad: .

Has anybody any idea why this would happen? Should I have greased the 'tin' before putting the mixture in? Could it have something to do with the 'wavy line pattern in the base of the 'tin'?

If any of you have any tips at all, I would be grateful for them - otherwise they can darn well have it back again.

My muffin tray did the same. Apparently you're still meant to grease / line them, at least for the first few times. I couldn't tell you, as I've not made muffins since.

You need to oil them for the first use. The insrtuctions don;t say that you have to grease them after that bth I usually do. I don't bother lining them as I would do with an ordinary tin.

I've found them great to use and everything I have cooked in them has come out well.

I have two silicon loaf tins and I never use them as they do stick and mine have the wavy bottoms too.I tried greasing them with oil and that helped but I always thought they were supposed to be the perfect non-stick tins!

Many thanks for your answers .

Like Lesley, I always thought they were the ultimate in non-stick and wouldn't require anything doing to them at all - especially as there were absolutely no instructions/guidelines with the thing.

For the time being, at least, I'll try again and grease it this time - it was a bit of a beggar to get clean with all those wavy grooves in the bottom :mad:

If you leave whatever it is to cool as well helps .... I don't turn mine out till they've been out of the oven 15 mins
