Any on here that you'd recommend! Sick of quiches sticking in muffin pans & the teflon that's probably poisoning us. I've heard that if it turns white when creased it's not good quality, but the novelty pan I bought for my daughter's birthday last year does that and it turned out a lovely cake. I have a couple of dishes I bought from the supermarket a few years ago and they don't seem so good.

Thanks, they mention Wiltshire but the ones I got from the supermarket are Wiltshire and I don't really like them - stuff seems to cling to them, and I don't like the wavy crust it leaves on the top of the cake. No idea what brand the bunny one was - it came from the Warehouse, but I think it was dearer than the Wiltshire ones.

I got mine from Briscoes - I would not buy them again.I cooked my Christmas Cake in silicone, would never do it again.Definitely going back to traditional tins.

Traditional tins are fine if you can line with baking paper. But for making things like mini quiches, the muffin papers don't seem quite right.

I am a bit of a purist and much prefer metal baking tins over silicone. I love silicone for tools, but not for baking in. I use the wooden baking box for Christmas/fruit cakes. The best non-stick you can buy ( and yes, it's a little pricey) would be the infinite circulon bakeware. It has the same hi-low ridges inside and believe me, you do not have to use spray or line it. Everything just pops straight out. I was wary when the distributors told me that i did not have to use a spray on it, so I promptly took home the muffin tin, the rectangular baking tin, the loaf pan and the cake pan and tried them all for everything from muffins, a sponge cake, bread etc and once cooked, I just turned the tin over and out they came. I have had them now for a year and they are still as good as the day i got them. I was so impressed I sent a set up to Mum to try and she loves hers too.

I've had Wiltshire silicon 'tins' which weren't so good.There are however some muffin/mini muffin trays that are wiltshire and have metal tops with silicon cups - they are fabulous.Jo Seagar has them on her website.Expensive - but so worth it.the mini muffin tins are fabulous for Christmas mince pies - they just pop out after being cooled for 5 mins.

Thanks gardie, I'll give them a go then. It's mainly the large muffin pans I want - anything else can be lined. My nonstick cake tins are getting a bit old so I tend to line them anyway.

I have individual silicon muffin cups, and I put them the old style muffin pans to make em easy to get out of the oven.

Funny I have just had this conversation with friends over the weekend. I cooked 2 fejoa cakes, 1 in silicone, 1 in a tin. In short out goes all silicone and buying more tin. Much better results.

I've got several silicone "tins" and am very happy with them all.Don't ask what brand they are, I bought them at the warehouse, but from memory some were the el cheapo type and some were a good brand.Haven't noticed any difference to be honest.
