Silicone cake muffins - secrets and useful tips from the best chefs
- Finished muffins in silicone tins should never be reached with a knife or fork. Thus you can badly spoil the molds. Muffins are very easy to take out, if you cover the mold with a plate and just turn it over;
- Do not fill the molds with dough to the top. In the process of baking, the cupcakes rise strongly, so the optimum filling level is about 2/3 of the volume of the mold;
- If you use a large solid form with grooves, you must first place it on a baking sheet or rack and only then fill it with dough. If this is not immediately done, the filled form is very problematic to put in the oven;
- Get the cupcakes better after they cool down;
- It is recommended to lubricate the muffins in silicone tins before baking with vegetable oil;
- If the top of the cupcakes in the baking process is strongly browned, but inside the dough is still raw, you can cover the baking with parchment paper;
- Silicone molds are resistant to high temperatures, but direct contact with fire should not be allowed - the material of the products from this will melt;
- It is not recommended to wash the molds with too aggressive cleaning agents.
