Anybody use this stuff? What do you think of it? How do it hold up with
use? Cleaning? I'm considering asking for some for Christmas. I hate my
old aluminum muffin pans.

I understand the "new" silicon cookware doesn't hold up too well,
literally! It may be quite durable, but in other words, it's not very
sturdy -- the sides of the larger silicon bakeware need support to keep
their form/shape. Personally, I'd rather invest the $$ in quality
'solid' metal (other than aluminum) or ceramic bakeware. YMWV.

I like it. It cleans easily, works well, and stores better than metal
(because it can be smooshed into small spaces). I just always have to
remember to account for the floppiness and use a cookie sheet. ;-)

They work and can be dishwashed, unlike most of my other baking stuff. They
can go into the freezer, too.

However, they give less of a crust. Depending on what you're making, that
may an advantage or a disadvantage.

For cupcakes and muffins, I use my regular cupcake pan with silicone
muffin "papers", which are shaped exactly like the regular muffin
liners. I wouldn't try using them without putting them in a regular
muffin pan, though. No more scraping and scouring a pan, liners just
rinse off easily.

I also enjoy my silicone spatulas, basters, and cookie sheet liners.
