If you are using a silicone mold for the first time, wash it well with warm water and a mild detergent. Dry and grease with vegetable oil. With further use of the form, you can do without oil.
2
Place the pan on a baking sheet, microwave circle or hot air grill. Now fill it with dough or other products that you plan to bake.

It is recommended to bake products in silicone form at a temperature of 200-230 degrees. Cooking time is adjusted depending on the recipe you have chosen.

Before removing the finished casserole or muffin from the pan, allow the dish to cool slightly. Then gently bend the edges of the mold with a spoon or wooden spatula and remove the cupcake or casserole from it. In no case do not use a knife or fork - they can damage the shape.
5
Wash the mold with warm water and put it in the cabinet.
6
When using silicone molds, safety precautions must be observed. In no case do not put the form on an open fire. Also, you can not wash silicone with metal nets, hard scratching the surface of the sponges. Do not cut the finished dish with a knife directly in the mold.

It is believed that silicone is an environmentally friendly material. It does not emit harmful substances when used. However, when acquiring a silicone mold, pay attention to the following. Such dishes, like any other, made from environmentally friendly materials, can not be cheap. Silicone, which can be used for food, is odorless. When choosing the color of the form, give preference to restrained tones, for example, blue or gray. Too bright colors are a sign that cheap paints and materials were used in the manufacture of the mold.
note
Ask the seller to show regulatory documents for silicone molds. Make sure that the material from which the dishes are made can be used for food. Otherwise, you run the risk of acquiring a mold made of building silicone, which in no case can be used in cooking.
