There is a lot of focus on cutting down the fat in our daily diets. But who wants to lose the flavor if that means cutting out the taste? There is an easy way to reduce your fat intake in baking without having to alter the recipe. Nonstick silicone bakeware can help you reduce your fat intake. Nonstick silicone bakeware means that you donβt have to put butter, shortening, or grease on your sheets or pans to make food easy to remove.
Silicone products for baking began with small silicone mats.
These silicone mats fit perfectly on a cookie sheet and allow you to bake cookies without having to grease the sheet or worry about your bottoms burning. These tiny mats proved to be a great success, and it was difficult for stores to keep stock.
Manufacturers began to explore making silicone bakeware because of the growing popularity of these mats. They started making spatulas, spoons, and whisks that could withstand high temperatures and could be used with nonstick cookware without worrying about the coating being damaged. Silicone utensils are the best choice for candy making and any other project that requires a hot, sticky liquid to stir.
Silicone potholders were also introduced by kitchen supply companies. They can withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees and are ideal for protecting your skin from burns when you remove a hot dish from the oven. They are not as heat conductive as traditional potholders and are also much more durable and easier to clean. Silicone bakerβs mitts were a hit with home canners. They could reach into boiling water to take out a hot jar of food after it had been processed. These potholders double as lid grippers, making it easy to open jars.
Kitchen experts saw the potential of silicone in everyday baking when it was introduced to them in the form of potholders, baking mats, utensils, and baking mats. Brightly colored silicone was soon available for almost every type of bakeware, which could previously be found in stainless, aluminum, glass, or stoneware. There was an explosion in the number of bakeware products that were sold in stores, including muffin tins and bread loaf pans as well as cake pans and pie pans. Specially designed cake pans are the most popular. These allow you to create cakes in a variety of shapes, from pumpkins to roses. You can even make your own fancy-shaped cakes with mini cake pans.
