chai Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 My 25-year-old bakeware needs to be replaced! There are so many choices now that I can't decide what type to buy--stone, silicone, metal? What do you use and love? I need a deep baking pan, a cake pan, muffin pan and shallow baking pan. I have stone bread pan and pie pan, but it seems like that would be too heavy for bigger things. Plus, I can't figure out how to wash them. Is silicone too flimsy? I'm tired of getting rusty pans! Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I have a stoneware bundt pan and mini loaf pan and I LOVE them. Yes, they're a little heavy but the results are worth it. If you're interested in any of the Pampered Chef stoneware, I sell it, so let me know. I've never used silicone, but I do have some heavy-duty aluminum pans that have held up well. I got them at Sam's Club and I think GFS sells them, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie in tx Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I love stoneware and have had most of my ovenware as stoneware for a long while. I had a 9 X 13 pan and a muffin pan that were stoneware until my children dropped them on the tile. Now, I am trying to justify an enamel 9 X 13 baker with a lid to replace the pan. I purchased silicone to replace the muffin tins. You need a cookie sheet to go under the silicone most of the time. I have a stoneware bread pan and a silicone one. Both work well.

AnnetteB Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Dh brought me home a set of silicone baking "pans" from Costco a couple or three years ago. They were inexpensive, lightweight, dishwasher safe, and the kids haven't broken a single one :tongue_smilie:. Our kitchen is tiny and they take up less space, too. They make my dd a little nervous taking them out of the oven because they are not stiff like a metal or glass pan, but you can slide a cookie sheet under them to remove them if this bothers you. I had a fatigued pyrex baking pan explode in the oven and heard similar scary tales from friends, so I was ready to try something new. I don't care for the teflon lined stuff.

CalicoKat Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I like the norpro bread baking pans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mereadeux Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I LOVE pampered chef stoneware. I use it for everything including bread. To wash it you just scrape it off with the plastic scraper and then wash in warm water, no soap! It also has a guarantee and will be replaced if it breaks. Just don't let dh drop anything on it like mine did and shattered my pizza stone! LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you remember who you bought it from. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
