    I like my silicon stuff, but mainly the funky shaped ones for cakes (I've aquired alot of crazy shapes from my travels over the years!). I still use normal metal loaf tins though and metal loose bottomed tins.

    Probably the most useful thing I have is a silicon sheet which is great as nothing sticks to it and when I weight up how much it's saved me in baking parchment, it was the best and most used buy :) cel x

    Keep an eye out in Lidl as they sometiomes have them - esp round Christmas. Other than that, TKMaxx sometimes have them too. Most of mine where imported, so ebay might be worth a look for strange shapes :)

    i've seen heart ones on amazon, i got a silicone doughnut mould from lakeland.

    i do like my silicone, esp for yorkshires but find it sometimes difficult to time cakes in our range. burnt bottoms and soggy tops. think it's due to the range though

  • I'm looking at buying a muffin silicon mould. Do I still need to use cases as well? I'm looking at a mini muffin one for my daughter for school.

    Thanks

    I bought one of these, as I thought you didn't need to use cases, but i found that for packed lunches the cakes went a little bit "wet" on the outside by lunchtime. I'd be interested to know what others think. (May have been a problem as I use a dairy free spread for baking, or I may be a maker of soggy buns!)

    Muffins generally get moist if they are packed in an airtight container (at least the hundreds I have made do) when mine come out of the oven the top is quite hard so I put them in a box to make them go fudgy. Doesn't seem to happen if they are in a cake tin.
  • I got some silicone cases to go in my remoska but I used paper cases with them, not sure if thats what you are supposed to do.
