What silicone molds are made up of

Silicone molds are made up of silicone rubber. A mineral that is obtained by melting rocks. They can withstand a very high or low degree of temperatures up to -60 to 400 degrees centigrade. They are safe to use in baking but melt if placed directly on the fire.

Tips for using silicone molds

Smaller size molds are better. Cakes baked in bigger molds tend to crake.

Check the suggested temperature on the product.
Don’t use sharp knives to clean them. Sock them in warm water and wash with regular dishwashing liquids.
They are non-stick, so there is no need to grease them before baking usually.
Use a metal tray or cookie sheet below to avoid spills while placing it in the oven.
Many recipes are found on the internet. Find a good one and be creative.
