This cake pan has a duller inside surface than the Silicone Zone bakeware, but it's rated to 500 degrees instead of 428. And cakes do flip out very easily. It also appears to be well constructed. It's flexible yet strong. Though it's a little floppy, so you do have to put a cooking sheet under it to take it out of the oven otherwise you'll break up the cake. The Silicone Zone cake pan feels a little sturdier, but it has the same problem. When I bend this pan, it doesn't show any white, which indicates no fillers were used. Overall I think it's worth the price.

Silicone baking pans are extremely cool. Light and flexible, they store easily and don't deform even if you accidentally leave something heavy on them, and you can just peel them off your finished baked good. Since they cool down quickly, you can lift them without potholders after ~5 minutes out of the oven. Plus, I get that thrilling "the future is now" feeling whenever I use them, and sometimes I bake solely in order to be able to use the pan because it's just so cool.

As promised, nothing sticks to this pan, and although the directions say that it needs to be greased, I haven't found that to be necessary. The pan's shiny inside gets clean with just a soft sponge, and it can even be turned inside out to make sure that you get the crease between the sides and the bottom. The one problem is that the pan does not hold its shape well, and so needs more support than other silicone pans that I have used. I paid six dollars, and I definitely got more than my money's worth, but I'm not sure it is worth the much higher price they are asking now.

We were hesitant to purchase the pan because of its cost (less than all the others) and there was no picture to see what it was like. We used it the night we got it to bake corn bread and it came out perfectly. We did spray the pan lightly with "Pam" as per the manufacturers instructions. Baked even through and through with a golden crust. No rubber smell and worth the investment. It did seem to be a little less hefty than our Kitchenaid silicon bakeware but it worked just as well.

This is our second Roshco silicon dish and we love them. One caveate that seems to have escaped some people reviewing these is that you may need to slightly adjust cooking times and temps for best results. And as others have mentioned, even without spraying them stuff comes out clean (although spraying is still a plus.)
