Walking inside a BJ's warehouse store...

"... throw away your metallic baking hardware."

$10 for this black rubbbbbbbbery muffin pan. (makes 6)

info says maximum temperature 500 F
ok for freezer, microwave and dishwasher
not ok for flames or sharp objects

"... no more burnt areas."

I will guess this means that the metal touching surface
will burn the bread, while the silicon will not. I'll guess
what this means, in that when the oven is re-heating itself
to go back up to temp desired. So want 375 and when
a 350 is detected the oven will heat up with those heating
rods or flame being turned on, and during this time the
actual air inside the oven will reflect a flame or hot rod
with temp I will guess 2 or 3 or 10 times the 375 F.
So, the muffin metal side being a very good substance
to accept and quickly transfer thru it whatever touches it,
then that "too hot" air touches the bread and burns it.

Silicon is used to make refractorie bricks, so if this works
then I would expect it to be ok if no silicon "leaks" into
the muffin mix. Maybe Zeev knows if silicon has a smell
or taste. My nose is above average, and at room temp
my sniff got nothing.

Guess bottom line here is to ask a Frenchman.
