Custom Made Silicone molds for Resin Clean

Make Sure Custom Made Silicone molds for Resin Clean

Is it just us or do metal pans eventually start to feel and look like they’re never clean? Custom made silicone molds for resin are actually way easier to clean. But they also need to stay that way. When you use metal, you often have a layer of parchment paper between the metal and the batter. You won’t use that with silicone, so leftover, stuck food particles will only make your new baked goods stick more. That makes washing and care that much more important. Luckily, silicone resin molds are dishwasher-safe.

Grease silicone molds for resin, grease it well.

While your items will most definitely come out of a silicone mold much easier than they do your metal ones, the grease (any kind really) still helps ease the process. Think spray, butter, Crisco, or even oil. Wait until it cools. Really, you’re supposed to do this with any silicone molds for resin or pan. On the bright side, silicone seems to cool much faster. This will make popping out your cake much easier. A smarter, safer option, though, is to set your mold on an old cookie sheet before filling. When it’s time to bake, move the whole baking sheet-mold combo to the oven.

Silicone resin casting molds should be wrapped or stored in a plastic bin

One different and important aspect of using silicone molds is how you store them. Unlike metal molds and pans, silicone molds can’t just get tossed into the drawer under the oven. According to studies your silicone resin casting molds should be wrapped or stored in a plastic bin. Most importantly, you shouldn’t place anything on top of them that might weigh them down and deform the molds. While it’s a bit different than the old methods, it’s certainly not harder.
