Cuisine Diva Reviews Grazia's Silicone Mini-Muffin Pan
I've been testing Grazia's silicone mini-muffin pan for the Cuisine Diva blog. I reviewed their full-size muffin pan a couple of months ago and was happy to hear Grazia was sending me one of their mini-muffin pans.
I have an old, metal mini-muffin pan that I've used in the past. It's a pain in the butt to clean up after using - it has 24 mini compartments that have to be cleaned. I always use non-stick cooking spray to coat the bottom and sides of the muffin pan but I still end up with a bit of batter stuck on the bottom.
The silicone min-muffin pan comes to the rescue! The 24-compartment pan is light-weight and a breeze to clean up. The muffins literally pop out of the pan - just let the muffins cool off a bit after taking them out of the oven - then turn the pan over and let them fall out onto a large serving platter.
The only downside of using a silicone muffin pan? Silicone bakeware is a bit floppy. You need to place the pan on a metal baking sheet before you fill it with batter for stability. But because the pan is so flexible and light-weight, you can fold it in half and shove it in a kitchen cabinet when not in use.
Another plus? Silicone pans don't rust! Some of my older, metal bakeware looks like it's time to retire. I plan on adding more silicone bakeware to my kitchen gadget collection in the future. Silicone bread pans? Silicone cake pans? Silicone pie pans? Hook me up!
