Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I have been wondering about silicone bakeware being safe to use.I think it would make baking so much easier, but isn't silicone toxic? And what about heating it? All I can think of when I hear silicone are those little packets of it that come inside purses to absorb moisture,or breast implants.Granted, you aren't supposed to eat the silicone, but is it safe to bake with? I wonder if this is like the controversy over Teflon, which in the meantime has been proven to be toxic at high temperatures.I tried Google and Ask Jeeves, but all I got were sites selling the bakeware.Does anybody have any information about this?

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I also wondered about silicone. I'm seeing ads for a silicone menstrual cup. Is putting " medical grade " silicone inside the body actually healthy? rachel Heddy wrote: >I have wondered the same thing... >anyone? >Heddy > > , DitziSis ><mk2967> wrote: > > >>I have been wondering about silicone bakeware >>being safe to use.I think it would make baking so >>much easier, but isn't silicone toxic?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Did we ever come up with an answer on the silicone bakeware?? I seem to recall we did some extensive research on the cup. , rachel mason <groups wrote: > > I also wondered about silicone. > I'm seeing ads for a silicone menstrual cup.
