Need immediate advice: Silicone bakeware.

[Maddy McCall]

I've got a pound cake in the oven in a silicone bundt pan. The recipe, in a regular bundt pan, usually takes 1 hour and 10 minutes.

I did the toothpick test to the cake, in the silicone pan, at 1 hour and 10 minutes, and the toothpick didn't come out clean. I just did it again at 1 hour and 25 minutes, and again it didn't come out clean.

This is my first time to use silicone bakeware. Does it generally have a longer bake time?

I'm asking this question in here instead of in the Baking group because I need an answer ASAP.

Thanks to anyone who can give me hope that this cake still might turn out ok.

1. Yep, it takes longer.

and things tend to be a bit moister and less browned when cooked in/on silicone.

3. Thanks!

Ok, I won't worry about it, then.

:hi:

2. Tell me how it turned out

I got some silicone bakeware for Christmas.

Good luck

4. I've already baked some cookies on the silicone sheets...

and they came out PERFECT. I'll let you know about the cake as soon as I know. :hi:

18. That appears to be the consensus

My sister says she uses her's alot. She also warned me to be sure and put them on a cookie sheet when baking.

Happy baking.

5. That's the floppy stuff, isn't it?

That stuff just weirds me out. I'd never use it in a million years. I don't know why, though, I just have a gut, visceral reaction to it that says, "Wow, that's unnatural and gross. Stay away."

That said, good luck with your cake. :P

6. Gee, thanks. :eyes:

LOL. Yeah, it kinda grosses me out, too. And I thought I was weird. :D

I'm going to the store in a little bit, and I'm going to buy a regular bundt pan. Two hours to bake a cake is just a little too long. :shrug:

7. Hee!

Evil alien bakeware. :rofl:

Hm, maybe I should use that cake mix that's been sitting in my cabinet. :think:

10. Oh I bought one of these this weekend...

I used it for pound cake recipe...oh...it made it taste divine...

[merh]

12. Wow, I love it.

Where did you buy that?

[bleedingheart]

14. I got mine at Kaufmann's in Pittsburgh...but you can buy it on Amazon

it is a Nordic ware pan...

Their stuff is sweet....

[merh]

17. I have to replace my bake ware.

I'll be sure to check out the Nordic brand, thanks.

15. I have never used silicone bakeware.

I don't want to. I know what to expect with my regular cookware, and I wouldn't trade my old-fashioned bundt pans for anything!

I've always had a hard time believing the silicone cookie sheets were any good. I get such nice even baking and browning with my shiny aluminum cookie sheets.

16. I got a muffin 'tin' that I'm gonna be courageous and try Saturday.

But it is weird looking stuff. It looks like Playschool. It's red.
