Wow, this pan really makes mini muffin/cupcake making easy. I haven’t made mini cupcakes in years. It is such a pain to make sure every speck of the muffin tin is greased properly. I always end up having some part stick and break off. I don’t tolerate that very well, lol. Laminas sent me their 24 Cup Silicone Muffin Pan & Cupcake Baking Pan for an unbiased and honest review. I took this as a challenge, haha.
I do have to admit, I am a big fan of food grade, bpa free silicone in the kitchen. It is really making cooking easier. Silicone has such a great temperature range it can handle. It can handle temperatures from the freezer up to 450 degrees F. It cools off faster than metal too, which helps from getting burned. I have burned myself numerous times by grabbing the pan before it cools off. I also absolutely love the fact that I don’t have to grease and flour my pans prior to cooking. Besides saving money, it saves food waste and added fat to your foods.
So, for the challenge… When the pan arrived, I quickly washed it and made a batch of vanilla cupcakes. (I have to make everything from scratch due to insane food allergies, so I really appreciate it when my baking pans don’t mess up my food.) I pored my batter directly into all 24 cupcake molds. I baked them at 350 for about 20 minutes. After removing them from the oven, I waited about 10 minutes and stated removing the cupcakes with my bare hands. Not one stuck. Every cupcake came out perfectly. I was and am still thrilled by this. I attached a photo to show the first cupcake removed. You’ll notice that no residue was left behind; absolutely awesome.
So, they won the challenge, and I am so glad they did. I like making smaller size servings. It’s healthier, and there is normally less waste. I feel very comfortable in recommending such a great product.
