anyone know if silicone bakeware is safe?

like does it leak any toxic stuff into food?

(I mean those floppy rubber pans -- I need a muffin one!)

thanks.

Try searching old threads - I know we've had extensive discussions on this subject, but all of them I know of were more than a year ago.

But the basic consensus is that they're pretty safe. And some people are still uncomfortable using them.

I've read that if you bend the silicone and see white streaks, it's got other substances and should be avoided. Although I have cupcake kits with silicone bakeware, I still try to avoid using them as much as possible.

Most studies have concluded that they are pretty safe. Just be sure to wash these silicone bakeware to get rid of the residue. :laugh:

Dear, it's too safe and best for kids, there is any no side effects. I also use this for making food for my kids

We have some and they seem like they hold onto the soap used to wash them. Like when we bake we swear we can taste soap on the muffins? Now I just use them for dipping sauces to quickly and easily contain dipping sauces or sides on our plates.

As long as you don't use them in a really hot oven (above 450) they're safe
