Cheap Silicone Bakewear at Lidl

Kadeeae

Didn't really know where to put this, but as it's to do with cooking/baking thought OS was a safe bet - if it needs to be moved, sorry

Just got my weekly email from Lidl and starting Thurs. the 18th they've got some cheap silicone bakewear on offer, including Christmas shapes - tree,santa,star etc... - for £2.99. I've got a silicone muffin 'tin' that I just love - don't know how these will be but might be worth a try!

Pooh sticks...no Lidl near me

(Confession: When I first saw the title of this thread I thought it said "cheap silicone underwear at Lidl"...that says a lot about my dirty mind doesn't it...)

I bought silicone loaf tins from aldi the other day and they're all well and good but went all out of shape when the bread rose - weird shaped loaves but still nice. anyhoo thanks for the info - will get some of the other tins as they'll be good for batch baking in the microwave

Just back from Lidl with a few of the items - hope they are not like the ones stefejb got from Aldi! May try them out this weekend.

Thanks for the thread. We don't get them till Monday in France so I'll be watching the thread to see what people think over the weekend.

Cake was fine, i wwas watching Nigella tho & forgot about it so it got about 5 mins too long :doh:

Be very careful if you turn them over after you've turned them out cos i grabbed hold of one of the points and snapped it off :doh: :doh:!!

My 3 yo was absolutely made up with it tho. Am tempted to make some jelly in it tomorrow.

I see some enterprising soul has grabbed a load already & stuck them on ebay

not a bad margin considering they were only £2.99!!!!

a bit off-topic but they have nice digital scales for £7.99, weighs up to 2kg.

A good buy is the chess mold set which has 3 sandwich tins for £4.99 (I have no idea if i'll ever bake anything with the mold).

Point snapped off the cake, not the pan, right? :eek:

Jelly sounds like a good idea too :T If you are tempted and create a jelly star - report please, lol.
