Amazon.com Review
Silicone bakeware is hard to believe; for many, it takes an act of faith to use it for the first time. But after that, it's hard to remember using anything else. The red KitchenAid 9-inch round cake pan is a basic pan for baking simple round layers, and even though it's made of floppy silicone rubber, it does as good a job (or better) than any metal or glass pan. For one thing, it's easier to release a cake from a silicone pan once it's done baking; just invert the pan, exert a slight pressure to the bottom, and peel the cake away from the pan. And since it's made of resilient silicone, this pan can handle the use of metal spatulas or utensils without its permanent nonstick quality being affected; don't use anything with a serrated edge, though.

Baking times from recipes may need to be adjusted slightly for use with silicone pans, since they heat up so much more quickly than conventional pans. It is safe to move silicone baking pans directly from the freezer to a microwave or preheated oven; there's no need to worry about gradual temperature increases since it won't buckle like metal or shatter like glass. The pan can be placed on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack while baking. Do not use it on a gas or electric burner or under a broiler.

KitchenAid silicone baking pans are dishwasher-safe; if washing by hand, do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. Some acidic foods might stain the silicone, but this will not affect the pan's performance in the oven. The KitchenAid silicone round cake pan measures 9 inches across (11 inches counting the 1-inch rim) and 2 inches tall. KitchenAid guarantees the pan with a one-year hassle-free replacement warranty as well as a lifetime limited warranty. --Garland Withers

Doesn't compete
Pro: it doesn't break
Con: it doesn't break so I can have an excuse to get rid of it.

If you are looking for silicone bakeware, keep going. This is not in the answer. I have been using silicone products for 2-3 years and thought to give this a try. Things stick to it. I was making a 5 layer cake and used this for one of the layers. The other 4 popped out like normal and the kitchenaid one stuck. I tried the "stick" test with my casserole and it stuck too. I read the instructions, which suggests you coat it with non-stick. Huh? Isn't that what silicone is for? I tried it several times and same sticky results. I highly recommend you save your money and invest in better products.

Why bother? Buy Metal ones!
There is no clear advantage to using these silicone baking pans. I am a professional baker and I have used Silpats for years - but a baking pan is a different story.
First, you have to either use a peel, as mentioned by another review, or a cookie sheet under them to get them in and out of the oven without having it destroy the cake.
And then you have to spray, and even that doesn't always work. I used my one silicone pan and two metal pans. I sprayed all three. The cake stuck to my silicone pan so I ended up with a two layer cake instead of a three layer cake.
The muffin pans are fine, but I would avoid any of the larger pans. For the cost, you can buy similar metal ones and do what you would always do - spray them!

Not a great pan
I have used this pan three times now, and every time it is in the oven my entire apartment smells like burning plastic. Also, all of my cakes have turned out uneven and the last one stuck to the bottom of the pan.
