Silicone Bake Wear

Rummer

Hello

A few years ago I was given a Silicone bake wear set with loads of different parts and I have had no luck in using it. Whenever I try to bake a cake it all sticks to it and the jelly molds are not for letting the jelly go :rotfl:

This was given to me as a gift and I know it was expensive so if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong I would be so grateful

ware I mean ware :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Big cakes I usually line the bottom of the tine with greaseproof paper.

Jellies, dip them into warm water just before you turn them out.

And they were maybe expensive when they first came out and I hate to burst your bubble but they are freely available at pound shops,
poundstretchers etc.

Oh I know they are now but as they were given as a gift I didn't want to freecycle them without at least trying my best to use them.

Not sure about the jellies but when baking I think you are supposed to leave them until they are cold before turning out

i always use a spray oil in the cake ones, even use them for fudge and get nothing sticking

I grease all my silicone stuff with Wilton Cake Release ( I get it from Lakeland) and my cakes slip out easily now. It comes in a bottle and you just squeeze a drop out and brush it over the silicone. A little drop goes a looooong way

I think these are like Marmite people either seem to love them or hate them I do love mine hope you start getting on better with your's soon

I never greased it or used paper inserts as I thought the whole point was that food was supposed to just slip out? Never had to grease my metal bake ware and I am not keen to start. Maybe I will keep the jelly moulds and find the rest new homes.

Thank you though for all the tips and fast responses they are greatly appreciated!

I do the same and have never had a thing stick.
As for jellies and cold stuff I dip the outside of the mould in boiling water for a few seconds and then the contents just slide out.
Hope you get used to your bakeware as they can be realy handy to use.
