Amazon.com Review
One look at this rubbery bakeware and those uninformed about silicone will laugh at the possibility that it’s actually safe to bake in it. But safe it is and KitchenAid is just one of many bakeware manufacturers that is producing pans in this revolutionary material. Made of FDA-approved food-grade silicone, this muffin pan bakes 12 sweet potato-nut muffins just as evenly as your metal pans and at temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, this silicone pan has the benefit of being safe for the refrigerator, freezer, and microwave and can withstand sudden temperature changes from one extreme to another without buckling. The nonstick surface releases muffins easily and is safe for use with metal utensils aside from knives or serrated blades. This muffin pan rests in a nonstick metal wire sled with handles, which offers good stability for transferring baked goods in and out of the oven. For easy cleanup, this pan is dishwasher-safe and will retain its nonstick cooking surface through hundreds of dishwasher cycles. The metal sled should be washed by hand. KitchenAid provides a one-year hassle-free replacement warranty plus a lifetime limited warranty on this pan. --Cristina Vaamonde

Coolest Muffin Pan Ever
This is one of the coolest muffin pans ever! Besides the non-stick surface, it's made of silicone - so if your muffin does stick a little bit, you can just bend the pans and pull it out. These pans do great in the dishwasher, oven, freezer.. I LOVE them. Highly recommend!

Might want to stick with metal
The sled that comes with this muffin pan does solve the problem of the flexibility of silicone pans nicely--without it, you have to use a cookie sheet--something has to keep the flexible pan from spilling its contents as you try to get it into the oven.

I think perhaps that silicone bakeware is a technology that has promise but needs improvement. The pan is not really very non-stick. It must be sprayed with quite a lot of nonstick spray for easy release; otherwise, the contents will be edible, but mangled. Perhaps it's my sample, but while cooking, the pan itself emits an odor of scorched plastic that I find unpleasant. Because of the sled, it takes up more storage space than I think a muffin pan warrants.

It's interesting as a novelty, but I really see no advantage over a good nonstick metal pan, and several disadvantages. I love the silicone baking sheets, but this material is not like that, and I think I will not be buying any more silicone pans. In fact, I think I'll toss this one.

What a stinker...
and I mean that literally. I received this pan as a gift and have to say fist and formost that I would never have purchased it myself as I am very happy with my metal non-stick pans. I experienced the same burnt rubber odor when using this muffin pan that others have complained about. It permeated every room in my home and I had to open the doors in the middle of winter to air it out. The corn muffins I made also tasted a little off and I guess that this must have come from the fumes I could actually see coming off the pan. The muffins also did not come out without sticking though I didn't use any spray so that may take care of the problem. It did come nice and clean from hand washing unlike what others have reported. That might depend though on the batter. But despite my cleaning success it is definately going into the garbage. Save your money.
