Safe for use in the oven, dishwasher and freezer, these pliable bakeware come in a variety of shapes and are well-suited for creating stylized brownie cupcakes, bowls and pops. Use silicone cupcake liners in the same way as other muffin tips or cups; there's no need to change your baking time or temperature when making your own personal brownies.

The baking time for brownie cupcakes varies based on the size of the silicone cups, pan or mold in which you are baking them. Typical brownie cupcake cooking time ranges from 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your recipe and the cupcake size. Follow the temperature and cooking time indicated on your recipe, making adjustments only if you are using cupcake molds smaller or larger than the typical cupcake size. Always place your silicone cupcake liners on a baking sheet prior to moving it and placing it in the oven to prevent spills. Begin checking for doneness five minutes before your recipe states to do so. Insert a toothpick into one cupcake's center; when the toothpick comes out clean, the cupcake is done baking. Spray silicone muffin cups or molds with a nonstick cooking spray before adding the brownie batter to prevent sticking.

Feeling excited about your new silicone cupcake liner? Do you wish to share your newly acquired recipe on the net to your family and friends? Don't get too excited just yet! Silicone cupcake liners are great reusable kitchen tools but like all newly bought kitchen tools, they need to undergo thorough cleaning first before using. Your silicone baking liners are so simple to use, to get started here are the directions for use:

PREPARING YOUR SILICONE CUPCAKE LINERS BEFORE USING

• Prep your Cupcake Cups by washing them in warm, soapy water and rinse well.
• Coat the liners with a light layer of non-stick or oil cooking spray. This method of ‘Seasoning’ the liners is optional and is needed the first few times of use.
• Preheat the oven to desired temperature
• Mix batter
• Place Cupcake Cups on to a baking sheet
• Fill liners 2/3 full with cupcake or muffin mixture to allow them to rise. *Tip! For consistently sized cupcakes or muffins every time scoop the batter with an ice-cream scoop
• Bake per recipe instructions
• Remove baking sheet. Silicone bakeware cools quickly, but it will be very hot when you first remove it, so allow to cool.
• Once cooled peel back the flexible liners
• Frost, decorate and enjoy your evenly-baked, delicious treats

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:

Hand wash in warm, soapy water or turn liners inside out and place on the top rack of the dishwasher.

Once the liners are dry, stack and store them in your handy, transparent storage container.
