Silicone serving muffin tins are a modern alternative to the paper tins traditionally used for baking muffins. Versatile and reusable portion forms are easy to use, clean and store.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Preparing Silicone Portion Molds

1. 1 Prepare the silicone portion molds prior to their first use. Wash them in warm soapy water and rinse well.
2. 2 Coat the molds with a thin layer of vegetable oil or a non-stick spray. This method of "wetting" the molds will only be necessary for the first few uses.

Method 2 of 3: Preparing the oven

1. 1 Preheat oven according to the cupcake recipe.
2. 2 Adjust the wire shelf so that it is in the middle of the oven.

Method 3 of 3: Baking muffins

1. 1 Make muffin batter as per recipe.
   • Place the baking sheet on a flat surface such as a worktop or table.
   • Place the silicone portion molds on the baking sheet. If desired, place the silicone molds in the slots of the muffin baking dish.
   • Fill the silicone serving molds. Using a scoop, fill 2/3 of each mold with dough. Some shapes have a marked fill line.
2. 2 Bake muffins.
   • Place a baking sheet with silicone molds in the oven.
   • Check the time. When using silicone molds for the first time, it is very important to look carefully at the muffins, as the cooking times in them may differ slightly from the cooking times in ordinary kitchen utensils.
   • Check the cupcakes to see if they're ready. Insert a toothpick or match into the muffin in the center of the baking sheet. The cupcakes are ready when the toothpick comes out clean.
3. 3 Remove the muffins from the oven. Use oven mitts when removing muffins from the oven.
   • Be careful. Silicone molds cool quickly, but they will be very hot as soon as you take them out.
4. 4 Turn muffins over immediately. Once the muffins have cooled, cover them with the icing, serve and enjoy.
5. 5 Clean the silicone serving muffin tins. Place the molds in the dishwasher or wash them by hand in warm, soapy water. Since silicone molds are made of flexible material, you can turn them inside out to easily clean crevices.
6. 6 To store clean silicone serving molds, stack them in a stack.

Tips

• Consider using forms. Silicone molds are safe to go from one temperature to another, so consider using them to make ice cream in addition to baked muffins.

Warnings

• When purchasing, check the instructions for the silicone molds regarding the temperature range.
• Never place silicone molds on direct heat sources such as a stovetop, they will melt.
• Do not use knives or sharp objects on silicone portion molds.
