!#@$!@# muffin cups!

**melvan** · 07-05-2008, 02:04 PM

Okay, a few times recently I've made muffins. Just regular blueberry muffins, not low carb really. But they ALWAYS stick to the paper, and I'm wondering...did I just get a crap brand of them, or is there some trick I don't know about? Help!

Silicon!

Never used the patty cases or at least I don't recall doing so, maybe try greasing them a little first?

I have some of those silicon patties but haven't used them yet.

I bought silicon patty cases in packets of 6 from woolies.

Yeah I've thought about those silicon ones but I had limited funds when I was shopping for them so I got the paper ones. Probably time to upgrade

Woolies usually have their silicon stuff on special quite often.

and i gave some to pv for her birthday and she does bake and i know she went and bought more

And the sale probably ends Wednesday and we get paid Thursday! Why can't they do Monday-Sunday sales like the supermarkets do?

Ah well I remember some at Big W, I'll check again & see what they were.

Mel K-Mart have 30% off lol, muffin tray was $10.99 before discount.

**melvan** · 10-05-2008, 05:40 PM

So these silicon things are ok in a gas oven?

**Moonie** · 10-05-2008, 05:46 PM

Yep they are great. I was a bit dubious at first but my daughter said she had been using them for awhile, and they were wonderful...

**sinders** · 04-06-2008, 10:45 PM

yes yes yes i have thrown out all my old cake tins (which i spent a fortune on and they all rusted) and now only have silicone. you can get them on ebay quite cheap and sometimes at op shops i bought a round 20cm cake tin the other day for a $1,. Yeah tip i bought those patty type cases ones, and they seem to get lost in my house, so i opted to go for a muffin tray has 12, i make 12 muffins or cheesecakes and freeze , couldnt do with out them now.
