In general, baking is an amazing variety of goodies that are sometimes difficult to refuse. It is well nourishing, very nutritious and high in calories.
But what exactly can be prepared by baking? We invite you today to study the recipes of pies in silicone form. Consider how to cook them and why we will use silicone.
Silicone baking dish
Many housewives have already loved silicone baking dishes. They note the ease of preparation as well as the removal of baked goods. However, not everyone came to such innovations, they are skeptical of modern kitchen appliances. Why is it worth considering buying silicone molds? What is the benefit of such products?
Advantages of Silicone Mold
Why silicone and not something else? What is his secret? There are at least 5 reasons to bake using silicone molds:
- Silicone molds, due to their appearance, allow housewives to bake not only an ordinary sponge cake in the form of a heart, but also to prepare jelly and yogurt cakes in the form of a rose bud, kitten's muzzle or bear. This way you can surprise children or guests at the celebration.
- The silicone mat also greatly simplifies the work of housewives. With it, you can bake a beautiful biscuit roll. At the same time, you don’t have to worry and wonder how to curl the biscuit so that it does not crumble or not break at all.
- Convenience of molds allows you to quickly and easily get pastries. You do not have to long and painfully separate it with a knife, fork and other kitchen appliances. You no longer have to worry about whether you spoil the dessert at the stage when it is already ready, or you can remove it from the mold without damage.
- You no longer have to scrape the burned-out remnants of the pie, rub the bottom with a metal washcloth in order to wash the mold. If you grease it with oil, you can undoubtedly be able to both get out the baked goods and wash the mold after work. By the way, you do not need to lubricate it constantly. This should be done only when baking in a new form for the first time.
- Do not be afraid that the silicone will melt in the oven. It withstands high and low temperatures well, is heat-resistant and strong - nothing will be with the form with a strong impact. The only thing you can’t do is put the form on open fire.
So, we learned what a good silicone baking dish is and why experienced housewives love it so much. We hope that these 5 arguments were very convincing.
