Pantry Elements Platinum Silicone Baking Cups Bento Bundle Variety Pack, Lunch Box Dividers, 18-Pack

These jumbo muffin cups actually work great! They stand on their own (no need for a muffin tray, just a sheet pan will do), are easy to fill, and the muffins (I use them for corn muffins) pop out cleanly and easily. You can use as many or as few as you need, and they clean up SO MUCH EASIER than a muffin tray. Just put them in the top rack of the dishwasher. So glad I bought these. They make baking so much easier.

I purchased the "standard" size cups for using in my muffin pan and absolutely love them. The vibrant colors are so fun and silicone baking cups are re-usable, environmentally friendly, and I never have to worry about keeping muffin tins on hand. Plus they are BPA free and meet high standards for cookware. I don't spray these and the muffins still pop out great every time. I wash them on the top rack of my dishwasher with the normal dishes (not sanitize/high heat) and it works great. The only thing about silicone cups is you have to be more vigilant about collecting them from work functions, lest they end up in someone else's collection. I have also used these in bento lunch boxes for keeping components separate. I might recommend the mini size for in a true bento box, I'm not sure the standard sizes would fit, but they work well enough in a Rubbermaid.

Nice thick silicon and holds its shape great where it’s not flimsy but will squish when you need it too! Works perfect in lunch boxes to separate things and wash so easy!

Great colors. I use these for distributing morning meds and vitamins in my house. Also separates food items and into perfect portions for kids lunches. Perfect for bento lunches. I use these to hold ketchup, salad dressing,applesauce, gold fish crackers, cut up fruit pieces like grapes, strawberries, blueberries. They are super easier to clean than hard mini containers, and take up a lot less space. The sides are not flimsy so it makes this a perfect snack cup for preschoolers. I love these little cups and the only reason i have not rated them is because i have only had them for 2 weeks and I have not tried these for baking but look forward to it.

I make muffins 4 dozen at a time. I bought 2 dozen in a different brand and then when I saw that this brand had purple, I just had to buy them. They are no different from the other brand I have. They work well - the muffins come out easily with no sticking and after a short soak, they only take a few seconds each to wipe the cup clean. I like that I don't have to use aerosol cooking spray on my stoneware muffin pan and that I don't have to wipe out the muffin pan. Cleaning the silicone cup is way easier than cleaning the muffin pan itself. I need one more set to have 4 dozen cups and I'll buy this one again so I have more purple. Actually, the kids preferred this set too. The others are pastel colours and they liked the brighter colours of this set better. Once I get another set, I'll be using these ones if I'm only making 2 dozen muffins and only use the pastels when I'm doubling my recipe.

These baking cups are fantastic! I love the colors and nothing sticks to them. Add dishwasher safe and they are a dream. For Christmas I bought my 7 year old daughter the Sunbeam Cupcake Maker. She was interested in an Easy Bake Oven but after I read the reviews I knew it would be a waste of money. I bought her these baking cups to go with it and also a cake decorator kit. These cups work perfectly with the cupcake maker because after it is warmed up, it is very very hot and I don't want my daughter's little fingers anywhere near it. With these, we can mix up our batter and I can have her fill the cups. After she fills them, they are sturdy enough that I can just drop them into the machine. She gets to make her own cupcakes without the risk of getting burned. I doubt that the flimsy paper cups would work as well for our purposes, if at all. They are very nonstick. I saw one reviewer had issues with sticking, but nothing I have made in these has stuck. I don't even grease them at all before I use them. They go on the top shelf of the dishwasher and they are clean for another batch of yummy baked goods.

I use these with my Omnia "Stovetop Oven" Cooking pans and they are wonderful. It does a couple of important things. One is that the Omnia oven has a chimney that gets hot. This keeps the batter from coming in contact with it. Things bake very evenly in these cups, and they are bright colored and fun. They look very pretty too in my pans. Clean up is a snap. This keeps my stovetop oven clean, and the cups I swish in a little soapy water, rinse and let dry. A good buy and I'll be purchasing more. Using my oven in Texas in the summer can be brutal, so I have adapted these stovetop ovens to keep from heating up my kitchen. Campers and boaters use these too as they are good in small spaces.

The quality of these cups is great. It can require a little patience to clean food out of the ripples, but that doesn't bother me. My only real disappointment is that although the item I bought was marketed as the "Bento Bundle," the Jumbo round cups are too tall for our bento-style lunch boxes. We have the Yumbox brand boxes, the "Tapas" size. There is 1 3/8" of vertical space inside the Yumbox Tapas tray compartments, and the Jumbo cups are 1 5/8" tall. The silicone cups would easily be compressed when closing the lunch box However, there is a leak-proof seal in the cover of the Yumbox, and I think it could potentially compromise the seal to compress something against it. I still give the item 5 stars, since there are dimensions in the product description and I consider it my own fault for not measuring before purchasing. We'll still use the Jumbo cups as standalone snack cups, or if my daughter gets her way they'll become hers for use in her play kitchen :). Also worth noting is that Pantry Elements customer service was really awesome. When they inquired about my satisfaction with the product, they were very friendly, eager to learn more about my experience with the product, and prompt in their response.
