Decided to have a wander round homebase the other day to kill some time...
Noticed some brightly coloured cookware, made from silicone :scratch:

Is this stuff any good??

Don't cook chicken breasts in it. They swell and go hard.

I've never used it as I tend to only buy heavy duty catering quality cake tins but I know a few who think it is marvelous. It's fairly cheap, worth a try maybe.

if you pinch the silicone and it turns white then that has a lot of chalk content = poor quality.

silicone is good.... easy to store and all that jazz but you cant beat metal bakeware with a good non-stick coating. silicone is too flimsy for certain stuff like lasagne's etc.

I'm with Bluds on this.

The stuff you get from supermarkets will twist and distort as soon as it sees an oven. Pay the price, go to a commercial cookware place and get proper cookware.
