Silicone bakeware- sticking muffins
Lisa Pappalardo

I just bought a Le Crueset silicone heart muffin pan. I seasoned it the first time with Pam spray (as directed) and my muffins were fine except that I overfilled the pan and I don't like the taste of pam spray on the bottoms of my muffs. Okay, so according to the directions I don't have to oil the pan again. I cook my next batch of muffins (blueberry) and they stick in the pan. Any ideas here? Do I need to grease this "non-stick" silicone pan before use? Any suggestions on an easy greasing method other than Pam?
I bought the muffin pan because I need to buy three new loaf pans. I was considering silicone but thought I would get some experience with it first with muffins to see if I like it. I do like that cute heart shape... Any opinions on what kind of loaf pan to buy for yeast and quick breads?
Thanks in advance,

Lisa

Blueberry sticks no matter what, season each time. There are spray regular oils that taste better than PAM, maybe one of these woul;d work for you. Ellen

Thanks. I had no idea blueberry had such a sticky reputation. I'm going to try a baking spray with flour.

What do you think of silicone pans for baking bread? Any silicone experience?

Thank you for the tip. I've tried Pam with flour since and it has worked well.
