As I have stated time and time again, I am not a big part of what goes on in the kitchen for the most part. When it comes to cooking or even baking, I’d rather just not do it. I don’t like it and just don’t get it. Weirdly though I love buying new kitchen gadgets and adding wonderful amazing products to our kitchen to ease the kitchen hassle and even clean up time (which I do all the time myself).
Which is why I was pretty excited to be accepted to review the new OvenArt Bakeware Silicone Muffin Pan. I am getting this up later than I would have liked, but trying to figure out what I wanted to make in this new muffin pan to test out was the issue for me. I finally found a yummy cupcake recipe in my Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet 2011 and knew that is what I was going to test it out with. As always though, the recipe is not mine, but I got it from the above book.

My Thoughts on OvenArt Bakeware Silicone Muffin Pan
Most of my cupcakes popped out of the muffin pan very easily, but some stuck and fell apart as I was taken them out. Which could have been my error, or the pan itself, which I doubt.
Overall I loved this pan and look forward to using it more in the future and getting to know how to use the silicone to bake with whether it is more cupcakes, muffins, or other various personal-sized treats.
