I bought these about a year or so ago, and have been using them almost weekly ever since for muffins - i loved the convenience and fun colors. Yes they have a smell when baking and yes they have a bit of a taste ("soapy" to me, as others mentioned). I just thought silicone did that, until I was reading in a cookbook this past weekend and it mentioned silicone baking cups - "...you can also use silicone pans or cups, but be sure to choose 100% silicone products...other products not only are less effective but also tend to leach and smell" (FOK Cookbook page 17). Ack! I logged in to look at my order and notice now that although it says "food grade silicone", it does not say "100% food grade silicone". So there are definitely other things in there. (Either the discussions around the pinch test weren't in the reviews back then or I just somehow missed them.) So these will be going in the trash and I've ordered different ones which indicate they are 100% silicone. But now i wonder what I've been ingesting for the past year - hopefully nothing too bad. But really, if you haven't bought them yet why take the risk.
