Most silicone baking molds can be used in the oven up to 428°F (220°C), but some parts may be safe at higher temperatures. Always double check the manufacturer's specification before using silicone in the oven to make sure you are using the correct temperature.
Silicone is also safe to use in the microwave to reheat leftover food. The material does not melt when heated, and you can indeed take silicone from the freezer straight into the microwave.
The main thing to keep in mind when using silicone in the microwave is that the material can also get hot, so be sure to handle it from the sides and consider using oven mitts to avoid touching overly hot dishes.
Silicone is safe to use in the refrigerator, and you can find many silicone products designed to be used in the refrigerator. Silicone ice cube trays are very popular and come in all sorts of beautiful shapes, think about it: large square cubes that you can find on our website, small spherical ice cubes and regular ice cubes.
Silicone is new in bakeware. It is very flexible and releases food easily. It can also be easily moved from the freezer to the microwave or oven. Unlike most metal baking molds, it can also be washed in the dishwasher. So far, so good. But be aware that since it's completely flexible, it's usually best to serve it on a separate, rigid baking sheet to avoid splattering.
When baking cookies and vegetables, some people line the baking pans with parchment paper or aluminum foil to keep food from sticking to the hob. But as an alternative, many home cooks and professional chefs are turning to silicone baking mats.
"The non-stick silicone creates a barrier between the metal of the pan and the ingredients, helping those ingredients to release more easily after baking," says Ruthie Kirwan, cookbook author and owner of the Percolate Kitchen blog. "They're useful for cooks who don't want to fiddle around with scraping food off pans, cleaning greasy pans, or foil and parchment."
