Re: [CnD] Silicon bakeware set
Hi Pamela, Boy, that steamer sounds really nice. None of my pieces are suitable to use on a stove top, but they are oven pieces. I didn't get one of those steamers, but may look for one to buy next month if these pans work out well. Do you mind if I ask what brand are your silicon pieces? I'm just curious to know what brand people like as I've heard that some brands are really flimsy and cheap and don't work well. My Marathon Housewares and Classic Cuisine brands doesn't seem flimsy at all to me, but I admit I'm not used to bakeware being so flexible and that makes me a tad nervous.

I do not have a full set, but have collected a few pieces over the years. One of my favorites is a steamer that I recently found in a local grocery store. I have used that both on the stove and in the microwave. It is a steamer unit with holes that you place inside another pot and place your vegetables on top and put water underneath. Using it in the microwave, I put some water in the bottom of a serving size bowl, add the steamer, add the vegetables, put a plate on top for a lid, and it works very well. The rubberish material keeps the plate from sliding around. I plan to purchase more of this bakeware since I don't have much and want more. As we speak, I have a muffin tin coming and some microwave baking mugs for the cupcakes recently discussed on this list. More information than you wanted, but I am excited now that I have used the steamer and know how well it works. I was a skeptic at first. Then I got brave enough to give it a try and became a convert.

In my humble opinion there is a difference. If you are used to splenda then go with it. If using stevia start small. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] Silicon bakeware set
Hi. Your GF is using silicone liners, and they are meant to be used as you described. However silicone bake-ware is meant to be used without liners. The Bunt pans are to be used like you would a metal bunt pan, and the square baking dishes can be used as you would a glass baking dish. There are also silicone cookie sheets that have a metal frame around them so they can be handled easily.
