Silicon Bakeware

Does anyone use silicon loaf "tins" to make bread?

I attempted to once, but because I didnt have a support for it, it went a bit funny shaped. I would personally stick to normal baking trays for any loafs unless you have the silicon support..

I agree - great for cakes but the bread makes it 'bulge' out and you end up with a very funny shaped loaf.

I also tried it and would say it depends on the bread dough. If it's rather stiff then no problem, might bulge and bit, if it's rather runny you might end up with some rather round bread. It should work though, even if it doesn't give you the best looking bread.

I got a fairy cake one from the poundshop the other day and it was great! Can see that there would be bulging problems with larger ones though... I found letting them cool briefly out of the oven helped to turn out.

My better half uses hers to make meatloaf in and it works nicely, plus additonal stuffing can be cooked in it when doing Turkey.

How about putting the silicone in a normal metal tin to keep it's shape but the silicone makes it easier to take out? Poundland have just started to do packs of 2 silicone liners - one is round the other for a bread tin. We also use the 'greaseproof' type liner for lots of cooking, frying, baking etc. We have bought them from Poundland too.
