Any thoughts on USA Pan Bakeware? They use Non-Stick Silicone Coating Safe for Food Contact (FDA Approved) called Americoat®, USA Pan’s proprietary, non-stick coating, naturally non-stick and non-toxic silicone, it is PTFE, PFOA and BPA free.

I think you should add ‘Food grade’ before the words diatomaceous earth. There is diatomaceous earth for use with pools that is not safe for consumption. Also, folks need to start off slow with it, like a teaspoon and then be sure there is a bathroom available for the next three hours. Food grade diatomaceous earth is given to livestock to make them poop, which helps get rid of parasites. It works that way on people, too. I buy it at a local Feed Store.

I wanted to buy some silicone baking mats and asked about how they were made, this was the response i got.
“The Flex Mats are made of polypropylene and polyethylene and they aren’t treated with anything.”
What are your thoughts on these ingredients?

In reply to Lisa Kramer. Ha! I do! I 'hate' seeing fruit in plastic containers and can smell a putrid chemical reaction. I suppose it's a chemical reaction. Eieuww!

In reply to Donna. Donna -- I would suspect that some of the ingredients in the cookies had fat in it, even if no oils were added directly.

In reply to Crystal. FDA is beyond a joke but it’s the peoples fault. If the people allow big industry (that majorly influence or dare to say control the government) to determine what is safe and what is not. What we should and can by and what we shouldn’t. We let them convince us that we need to be lazy at cooking or cleaning. That we need all these chemicals in our lives when it’s all for their bottom line profits and we pay the price (in all regards). The masses do not think for them selves and will not spend their own personal funds to fund better alternatives to the FDA or other organizations that should be protecting us better. The sad thing is that it is everyone’s money that eventually fund these and it’s really a waste of resources, especially when big business can lobby the government or have influence over the FDA and other programs. As you said, plastic that has pumped our developing youth with high levels of synthetic estrogen. This has weakened boys growing into pseudo men and girls growing into pseudo women filled with testosterone rage. Yes the female body will produce more testosterone when sensing high levels of estrogen. Of course, the male body does the inverse and testosterone is reduced in the presence of high estrogen. This has been happening since Tupperware entered our homes and has been proven by so many studies and research. Why, WHY does society not listen nor believe this is worse than lead lined aqueducts poisoning the Romans? Many may have declined mentally but at least they were not majoring effected by hormones to the point of where we are now and where we are headed.

In reply to Suzy. Read the comment again carefully. The poster said the cookie batter had no oil added to it. I too am wary about silicone baking pans and mats. Sticking with glass, metal, and teh brands of unbleached parchment that have no silicone coating.

While I don’t want to use silicone for baking, my mom purchased a set of mats for me to use that way? My question is how safe to you think these would be to place in a dehydrator to use when making fruit roll-up type snacks?

What do you consider to be a high temperature? Is that baking in the oven with it? Would you be ok with 350 degrees F or do you consider that too high?

In reply to Crystal. LFGB silicone is much safer than FDA approved silicone.

How safe is unbleached parchment? From my understanding All parchment is treated with silicone…and used for baking.(Hot Temps)
Also, now a lot of pots and pans are using silicone gels (sol-gel) for the “new” non stick coatings, releasing nano-particles.

It could’ve been butter, if that was used.

This post is years old. I seen a comment about silicone from the vp of plastipure. Dr. Stuart Yaniger. he himself said silicone leached EA’s. That was over 8 years ago. Any new information or products that are safe to bake with? I’m still at odds about what to do about parchment paper, muffins as well.

In reply to Crystal. Interesting. May I then ask what anyone here uses best for unbleached parchment paper. I believe the non-bleached brands use silicone.

So what kind of bakeware (e.g. cupcake pans) do you recommend? I feel like nothing is safe:/
