Good things? Bad things? I'm thinking about investing in one, but I want to know how good they are.

I have a few and love them! I think i got them from Williams Sonoma. The only thing is sometimes they get builtup oil residue on them and its really hard to get it off.

I am staying with my sister and she has silicone baking sheets that she got from QVC. They work very well and just are pieces of awesome bakeware!
I would definitely invest in silicone bakeware for myself.

hahahaha i think my mind was in the gutter when i saw the title of this thread. or it could just be that i just replied to the rock of love tour bus thread, and i had boobs on the brain. hehe silicone muffin pan. that cracks me up.
but on to the topic at hand! i don't have the muffin pans, but i do have a silicone cake pan. it works just fine, and not as much problems with cake sticking to it. only thing is the cake comes out a little flatter than with a metal pan, because the silicone pan can stretch as the cake is baking. but other than that, i do like it.

I use silicon baking stuff for muffins. The muffin pans I have to grease fairly well, or the muffins stick, but otherwise, they've been working fine!
I still bake my breads in a metal pan, though, and just got a new metal cake set.

i dont care for them.
you dont get browning or caramelization like you do with a metal pan. you have to use a reglular pan underneath them anyway because they are too flimsy. and they always feel "sticky" to me after i clean them, i dont know if it is oil residue from foods/grease or soap residue that is hard to rinse off.
i got a set for christmas one year from my MIL (it was a bundt pan, muffin pan, and a square cake pan) and i ended up donating them all to goodwill.

I am weary of cooking anything in plastic. I realize they won't melt but I am not down the the chemicals they could potentially put into your Food.

Well, it's not plastic, it's silicon...
Metal stuff can shed off into foods, too. Teflon cookware anyone?!
I dunno, I guess I am not one to worry about what chemicals are out there that's going to kill me, because in the end, everything is harmful.
