SiliconeZone Bundt Pan

Comment: I've used my silicone (red) pan twice. I didn't like it either time.
Problems I've run into:
1) Both times the sides started caving in while I tried to put it in the oven.
2) Bottom of pan (TOP OF CAKE!) flattens due to the heavy batter. Since Bundt cakes are usually heavier, I don't see silicone as a useable material for any bundt style cake.
3) Sprayed PAM but it beads up and runs down to the bottom of the pan (top of the cake). My cake had grease stains at the top of the cake.
I'm going out to purchase a metal pan. I'll be putting my expensive silicone pan in a garage sale. Buyer beware!!

Comment: I bought this Silicone Bundt Pan at a kitchen store and paid full price. I tried it with my favorite sour cream coffee cake and it was a disaster. The cake did not get done even after 12 extra minutes in the oven. I put the pan in the dishwasher like the instructions said and now the pan is sticky and I can not get it clean. I will never use it again.

Comment: i own many kitchenaid appliances and love the brand. i even own a silicone muffin pan which i love. this pan, however, is terrible. the cake did not bake completely and i had a terrible time trying to get it out of the pan. (yes, i sprayed the pan effectively.) do not waste your money! stick to the metal pans.

Comment: This is a beautiful blue color, coordinates with my kitchen. However, I'll bake my poundcakes in my old, reliable metal pans. I tried to use this a few times, spraying every nook and cranny with Baker's Secret release spray. Without fail, each time the cake stuck to the pan in a few places.

Comment: Although the SiliconeZone products are generally good at what they do, this product has two major limitation. Cakes become very flat on the top, or even take on the shape of the oven rack, because the weight of the cake presses down on the bottom of the pan (which becomes the top of the cake). Although the makers of this pan talk about the even heat conduction of silicone, any baked goods prepared in silicone pans won't brown--or cook--nearly as well as anything prepared in a metal pan.

For this price, you can get a heavy-duty nonstick metal Bundt pan that will serve you much better.
