Silicone is a rubber-like material that starts out as a pure form of very fine grain sand. Through a series of heat treatment and processing, the silicone base material is formed. This material meets all US FDA and Europen LFGB regulations for food contact safety. The silicone base is then colored and molded into bakeware shapes. The result of this molding process is a finished piece of Freshware silicone bakeware. Food-grade silicone does not react with food. It doesn't produce any hazardous fumes. Silicone is not toxic and safe to use in kitchen. And it is reusable after a lifetime of use.
Cheaper brands often use plastic fillers, so it is not safe for high-temperature baking. Pinch and twist a bit of the silicone, if it turns white, it’s got fillers. Solid silicone will retain its color. Freshware’s products are made from 100% pure, food-grade silicone that meets US FDA and European LFGB safety standards. They are also BPA, PVC & Phthalate FREE.
It is recommended that you soak the mold in hot water with a few drops of lemon juice or wash with mild soapy water. This not only removes any residual food, but it also removes any odors that may linger on the mold. Or you can place it in the dishwasher. Be sure the mold is thoroughly dry before use. Do not use harsh detergents, scouring pads or abrasive materials.
Always lightly apply oil, cooking spray, or butter on the surface to improve its non-stick ability for the first time use. This step may not need to be repeated for future use. After baking, remove from oven and place on cooling rack until baked goods to cool completely before removal. To remove baked or frozen goods, invert mold and push from bottom. Please keep in mind that recipes with excess sugar may also cause pastry to stick to the mold.
Depends on the variety shapes, many customers find some interesting ways to use Freshware’s molds to make homemade muffins, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, quiches, loaves, candy, chocolate, cornbread, banana bread, cheesecake, butter, pudding, jello shots, caramel, ice cubes, juice popsicle, frozen baby foods, ice cream, clays, candles or soaps.
Turn the tray upside down and run hot tap water over the bottom and sides for a few seconds, then twist and push the ice cubes out from the bottom. It's always better to store cubes in a dish or freezer bag instead of in the mold.
Silicone condenses minerals on the surface of the cubes, so white/waxy residues are formed. Just rinse the cubes briefly before drop them in the drinks. Using purified or filtered water instead of tap water should also prevent cloudiness and floaties.
No, Freshware’s silicone mold will resistant heat up to +446 degrees Fahrenheit (+230 degrees Celsius). It will maintain its shape regardless of frequency of use or manner of storage.
Yes, due to silicone’s property, an oily feeling after washing is normal, as is discoloration. Strong flavored foods may leave a trace of their scent on the mold.
