5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent baking cups! July 30, 2010

By Orly

Color Name:White|Amazon Verified Purchase

As stated in the title, these baking cups are excellent!! Here are some reasons why I highly recommend them:

1) Very easy to fill them up, simply spoon in the desired amount. As with all silicone baking products, set on a hard surface such as a baking sheet or baking pan before setting in oven.
2) The muffins come out looking perfect. I filled some cups about 2/3 full and others almost to the top and in both cases they came out perfect.
3) You dont need to grease them at all! However, do let the muffins cool before removing. If you dont they will still come out ok, but if some fruit leaks to the cup than it sticks a bit. Letting them cool a bit before removing will ensure that they come out perfect.
4) Very easy to wash. Soak a few minutes in water and scrub ever so gently and voila, they clean perfectly.
5) Oven, feezer, microwave, and dishwasher safe.
6) Come in a range of colors so you can mix and match.
7) Individual cups that stack so they dont take up any storage space compared to muffin pans.
8) Note that they are very high quality, made in france of 100% silicone. This is probably why they seem to be a bit more expensive than other silicone muffin pans/cups that are not 100% silicone. I dont know what other substances are used in the ones that are not pure silicone but after reading other reviewers complaints about "strange smells" coming from these products during baking, I dont care to find out.
9) Silicone is a great alternative to non-stick teflon. There are reports claiming that Teflon emits dangerous chemicals not just if the surface is scratched but also when cooking with it at high temperatures (that are generally reached during the cooking process).

I was previously using the Le Creuset silicone muffin pan and was very pleased with it but it was discontinued. I didnt want to get these individual muffin cups at first because I thought they would be more cumbersome than a pan, but was pleasantly surprised. Not only did I not find it cumbersome, but the fact that the muffin cups are individual allows you to pick them up one by one and fill them very easily and with no mess. And as already mentioned they dont take up any storage space. Plus, the muffins came out even nicer than with the previous silicone pan.

Give them a try, I dont think you will be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cupcake BFF September 7, 2010

By J. A. Oswald

Color Name:Kiwi|Amazon Verified Purchase

Cupcakes and muffins are a frequent eat in our home. I love Le Creuset quality and style; these baking cups continue the legend. What I do NOT need is another specialty pan in my kitchen (i.e. something that takes up considerable space and is used for just one or two menu items). I always found that baking tins cluttered my cabinets and what's great about these cups is that they stack up and can be tossed into a cupboard, taking up so little space. Saves money, when I think about how many disposable wrappers I have purchased in the past; saves my peace of mind knowing that they are reusable and that they can go into the oven, freezer, dishwasher, AND microwave. I can bake them on just a standard cookie sheet (and no matter how much you fill them, they come out perfect), I no longer need to flour/grease anything, I can cool them as is and toss them into a freezer bag; I can microwave them in the morning for a warm muffin, and I can toss the used wrapper into the dishwasher. These are made in Heaven!! Only wish you could buy a multi-colour pack!

3.0 out of 5 stars Small, but nice November 9, 2011

Amazon lists these baking cups as "approximately 3-1/5 by 3-1/5 by 3-4/5 inches". They are actually 3" wide at the top, 1-3/4" wide at the bottom, and 1-1/4" tall. If that suits your needs, great. They are well made, don't stink and bake well, but I really wanted cups bigger than these. I'll try the Casabella Jumbo Muffin Cups next and hope that Amazon's description is more accurate.
