Why Silicone Molds Are Not the Best Choice for Baking Muffins: Chef Kristaps Sīlis Explains

In the episode “Were you waiting for the boss?” Chef Kristaps Sīlis explains to TV presenter Linda Abu-Meri why, as it turns out, silicone molds are not the best choice, for example, for baking muffins.

Also, these molds usually do not need to be greased before baking either, because the dough does not “stick” when baked in them, and when the muffins are ready, they are easy to remove from the mold.
