One look at this rubbery bakeware and those uninformed about silicone will laugh at the possibility that it's actually safe to bake in it. But safe it is and KitchenAid is just one of many bakeware manufacturers that is producing pans in this revolutionary material. Made of FDA-approved food-grade silicone, this muffin pan bakes 12 sweet potato-nut muffins just as evenly as your metal pans and at temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, this silicone pan has the benefit of being safe for the refrigerator, freezer, and microwave and can withstand sudden temperature changes from one extreme to another without buckling. The nonstick surface releases muffins easily and is safe for use with metal utensils aside from knives or serrated blades. This muffin pan rests in a nonstick metal wire sled with handles, which offers good stability for transferring baked goods in and out of the oven. For easy cleanup, this pan is dishwasher-safe and will retain its nonstick cooking surface through hundreds of dishwasher cycles. The metal sled should be washed by hand. KitchenAid provides a one-year hassle-free replacement warranty plus a lifetime limited warranty on this pan. --Cristina Vaamonde

not happy:
I found that the finished muffins clung to the tray (I didn't grease and flour, but still). They also were unusually short and stumpy muffins. Better R&D next time, Kitchen Aid.
Stick with metal pans!:
I'm so glad I bought this used for $2 vs. new. It looks cool, and the Kitchenaid brand was a plus. Muffins and cupcakes don't brown like they should. The texture and crumb are different. The pan doesn't effect taste luckily. Storage is a problem. Using non-stick sprays leaves a sticky finish to the muffin pan eventually that does not come off in the dishwasher - which would also happen with some metal cupcake or cake pans as well. I do not recommend this at all. If anyone wants to pay shipping, they can... more info
emits a chemical odor:
After I put this item in the oven, the thing started to emit a chemical odor, somewhat like the smell of burning plastic. so i had to stop, throw the muffins out, air out the house. awful - can't believe Kitchenaid would sell something like this!
Makes Mangled but Mouthwatering Muffins:
This non-stick pan is definitely not non-stick. I sprayed the pan and my muffins still stuck. With the same treatment in my non-stick metal pan the muffins come right out. I also experienced the unpleasant oder of burning plastic others have experienced. On the plus side, I seem to always scorch muffins baked in the metal pan, and the muffins in the silicone pan are usually baked just right.
