What exactly is silicone and polycarbonate?
Silicones are polymers made with a combination of silicon, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sometimes other chemical elements. Silicone is a non-toxic, heat-resistant, nonstick and rubber-like material. Silicone is extremely versatile and is used in everything from cookware to aquariums.
Polycarbonate is a type of plastic that has been FDA approved for contact with food. It is made into a mold either by thermoforming or plastic injection. Thermoforming is the process of heating a plastic sheet and forming it around an object via vacuum suction. Plastic injection is a process whereby a plastic resin is formed around a metal master under high pressure.
Can I place silicone bakeware directly on my oven's baking rack?
Yes, your silicone bakeware can be placed directly on the baking rack of your oven. However, you may find it helpful to utilize the stability of a cookie sheet, metal baker's sheet or a specially designed sled or rack to make it easier to transport larger molds to and from the oven.
How expensive is silicone and polycarbonate bakeware?
Despite the quality of these professional-grade materials, in most cases, silicone and polycarbonate molds are not more expensive than most metal and glass baking pans. The main difference is the superior results.
