Wilton Silicone Ultra-flex Silicone Bakeware Set Cake Pan, Loaf Pan, Muffin Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a burgundy-red version of this set in a home & garden specialty store when I was last in Washington, D.C. in just February of this year. I have gotten into cooking bread, so the loaf pan has been used almost weekly since its purchase.
The first thing I noticed was the blackening of the silicone pan edges. Can't get that off, but I supposed that is to be expected with regular baking. The more critical issue, however, is that it seems to have been the signal of bigger trouble. First the right lip fell away and now the left. And it gave up holding its upright loaf shape well before that (presumably because "ultra-flex" is code for "much too thin"). I don't mind the bowed bread (we eat it anyway), but when I came across a used silicone bread pan from another brand and compared the results, I couldn't help but find this one inferior.
I cannot recommend this item for regular use.

Silicone Solutions Black Bread Baking Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had a couple of serious problems with this set since I got it last year.
1) Cleaning is a Pain. Silicone is floppy, so it's really hard to scrub, which is sometimes necessary despite its being more or less a nonstick surface. You can put it in the dishwasher, but mine still has trouble getting all the cooking spray off of it, and the pans take up so much room.
2) It's nice to be able to pull a lightweight loaf pan out of the oven with one hand. Not possible with these because of the floppiness. I'm not sure why flexibility is cited as a bonus in their use and care manual.
3) Probably my biggest objection: despite the manual promising that the bakeware is "oven safe/heat resistant up to 500F (260C)," mine starts emitting very silicone-ish fumes around 450F. When I make drop biscuits, which are baked at 450 for only about 12 minutes, they come out tasting rather like silicone. I have never used abrasive soaps or scouring pads on any of the bakeware, so I don't know why that would be happening.
I give the set two stars because of the two spatulas: they work very well, they clean easily, and the wood has held up even after numerous times in the dishwasher, though it's probably not a good idea to do that long term.
