Silicon Cookware

My New Toy For the Kitchen - Silicon Cookware


Huband was back from Japan trip and bought me a souvenir of Silicon Cookware!
Have heard of silicon cooking utensils and dining wares but have never heard of a silicon cookware for the microwave or even oven!

There were so many news about the hazardous side effect of using plactic ware in freezer and microwave due to the emission of hazardous substance under the extreme temperature condition, hence, it was kind of mixture of feeling between curious of trying out the special tool and weary of any side effect of using them when i received the present but yet i have to show my appreciation towards the gift without disappointing my dear husband...hahaha..

This is suppose to be a recent cookware gadget practice in Japan for the healthy lifestyle, but when i check online for more details, i found out that  it was actually quite common and popular in the US & Europe market since about 5 years back.

In fact it is not a rubber or plastic in nature of which it has a very good heat conductive characteristic which helps to cook the food evenly and quickly (i found this in the product description and some internet articles)

It says that this small little rubber feeling stuff can do below wonders :
- Sustain temperature of : -30 to +270 (degree celcius)
- Freezer Safe
- Oven Safe
- Microwave Safe
- Dish Washer Safe
- Direct from freezer to microwave - ok!
- minimal use of oil
- Can Steam, Bake, Boil, Stew

Above are just instruction for my gadget, below is a video link for those products in the US market (may be...)that they even have bakery cookware which can stand heat up to 350 (celcius). As usual, there are positive and negative feedback on these products in the US forum, especially on the baking wares.

Anyway, i can only comment after i start using them, but i think there should not be much of a problem for my microwave usage as most of the complain in the forum are the non-stick feature for baking cake.

Let's stay tuned for my updates after i use it. I hope this thing will not melt in my microwave or Oven....
