Baking times from recipes may need to be adjusted slightly for use with silicone pans, since they heat up so much more quickly than conventional pans. It is safe to move silicone baking pans directly from the freezer to a microwave or preheated oven; there's no need to worry about gradual temperature increases since it won't buckle like metal or shatter like glass. The pan can be placed on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack while baking. Do not use it on a gas or electric burner or under a broiler.
KitchenAid silicone baking pans are dishwasher-safe; if washing by hand, do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. Some acidic foods might stain the silicone, but this will not affect the pan's performance in the oven. The KitchenAid silicone round cake pan measures 9 inches across (11 inches counting the 1-inch rim) and 2 inches tall. KitchenAid guarantees the pan with a one-year hassle-free replacement warranty as well as a lifetime limited warranty. --Garland Withers

This review is from: KitchenAid Silicone Bakeware 9-Inch Round Cake Pan, Red (Kitchen) I used my new Kitchenaid 9" round cake pans today and they work great!! I lightly sprayed them with Pam cooking spray that contained flour. They bake beautifully without any attempt to stick. I placed the silicone pans directly on the oven cooking rack without the use of a baking sheet. They sat perfectly level on the oven rack. Taking them out of the oven is a breeze. The cake pans cool quickly and were easy to handle. They have a wide brim that allows you to hold the pans securely. I love these pans! I have ordered the Heart shaped and Square pans. Get these pans while they are cheap in price. You can not go wrong. Use Pam spray and your cakes will pop out like mine without any trouble. Also, these pans will interlock inside one another for easy storage. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: KitchenAid Silicone Bakeware 9-Inch Round Cake Pan, Red (Kitchen) I bought these cake pans expecting the same ease of use as silicone cookie sheet sheets like the SilpatŪ, to which I have never had anything stick.
These pans actually recommend that they be sprayed with a baking spray. I skimped a bit the first time and my cake stuck. You really need to spray it as much as you would any other pan. Even so, these pans are not completely nonstick. I still have to run a knife along the edge, sometimes cutting through stuck material. These pans circumvent the need for lining the bottom with parchment paper but not the need to grease the pan. One important note is that since they are so floppy, they need to be handled differently when removing from the oven. While they have nice broad brims, grabbing them solely by this edge may cause the pan to twist or deform, cracking the cake when it is most delicate--right out of the oven. You need to either use a peel like a flat metal cookie sheet or slowly push it onto another flat...Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: KitchenAid Silicone Bakeware 9-Inch Round Cake Pan, Red (Kitchen) I used this cake pan time after time and they all came out perfectly (if I had the batter right of couse). I have been baking with many different kinds of cake pans. I tried Wilton professional alumium kind, Kitchen aid black non-stick, stainless steel, regular non-stick.... I wished that I had only bought this one (in fact it's best to have two) instead of having a couple boxes full of metal pans. I usally bake exclusively spongy cake because it's heathier and tastier (Subjectively speaking), so this perfect 5 stars review is for the Spongy cake result.
The spongy cakes that I made all came out perfect. 5 cups of batter yield one 9" x 2" round smooth cake. I used a heavy duty cookie sheet to support it or a use a water bath of light duty cookie sheet (to prevent wrapping of the cookie sheet) I didn't grease the pan before baking but I cooled the cake upside down on a cookie sheet and peel the pan right off. (The top is then flat too, no leveling) I think peeling...Read more |
