I was in dillards the other day and found these new silicone baking pans. Has anybody seen or tried them. They have a butterfly, train, car, flower pot with flowers

I havent tried these specific ones but I own some that Kitchenaide puts out. My sister bought them for me for Christmas one year. Their not very good for keeping the form. Because their flexible it tends to spill the batter on me easier and I just really dont like the way they cook. I just like the old fashioned type I guess. There is probably someone out there that likes them.
I had some Tupperware ones for a time, they have more 'heft' to them than the other brands. I had good luck with them, but didn't use them enough for them to be granted space!
I kept reaching around them to use the more traditional pans. They have benefits, to be sure. You can microwave an awesome cake (oh yes can!!) in them. I didn't like the wobbly-ness tho.. and always having to slide a cookie sheet under them!
There are some awesome silicone products out there. I'm keeping my eyes open for the perfect silicone pan/mold that I can mold butter in for catering dinners. (I like to whip butter with honey .. soooo yummy on warm homemade bread! and stretches that butter farther too!!)
I have a silicone bundt pan and, after three disastrous attempts with it, I finally got it to work. First, you must stabilize the "pan" on a cookie sheet or something solid so it's not so tipsy. Second, you have to coat every millimeter of that sucker with Baker's Joy - and I do mean EVERY mm - or your cake will stick. Finally, it took significantly longer to cook in the silicone pan than in my regular pans, and I thought it was harder to clean because the pan is flexible. With all this in mind, I really don't see the point to these pans. Sometimes traditional is the best. ![]()
