Silicone Baking Pans

[YYY]

Hi Everybody,

 

I also posted this in the Kitchen forum, but I seem to "see" more people here so I posted in both places.

 

Yesterday at a thrift store, I found a silicone meat loaf baking pan. I washed it, let it sit in bleach water and then put it thru the dishwasher.

 

Today I used it to make meat loaf for dinner. I used the same recipe and bake time and temperature that I’ve used for years. When I pulled it out of the oven, juices were bubbling, almost to the point of foaming. Within maybe 30 seconds of removing it from the oven, the bubbling / foaming stopped. Then all I saw was the oil that is usually in the pan.

 

Is this normal ??? Is it safe to eat ??? Has anyone used one of these silicone pans ???

 

Thanks in advance

I have not used a silicone pan for meatloaf, but use them all the time for other foods, and I love them.I have never seen what you described, but again have not doen meatloaf in them. The cleaning process you described sounds very thorough and I would not worry about it if it were me. I have seen the oily stuff after cooking meatloaf in a pyrex loaf pan or a ceramic one, and it is much the same, so if I saw it in a silicone pan, but the meatloaf did not taste funny, I would assume it safe to feed to my kids.

Hi Nini2033a and Crazy4Canning and Girl Next Door,

 

I am sorry that it took so long to get back to y’all. For the past few days every time I tried to post, I got a message that said "the menu has been disabled". I tried to reply and to start a new topic. I don't know what I did wrong. I hope it goes thru this time.

 

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

 

The meat loaf looked fine, smelled fine and tasted fine (I only ate a couple of bites). The oil in the pan didn’t bother me because that’s how it’s always been. It was the foaming/boiling that worried me. I’ve never seen that before. To be honest, I’m afraid to eat more.

 

On the positive side, I loved how easy it was to clean the pan. I was able to turn it inside out to wash it.

 

Thanks again,
