Hi, I was planning to use these as crayon molds...place chopped crayons inside & put in the oven. What is the highest temperature these can tolerate?

I am not completely sure, because these are made for ice, and not designed for baking. Yet, Wikipedia says of silicone in general that it has a thermal stability temperature range of −100 to 250 °C, and they are made of silicone. To be completely sure, you could contact the manufacturer.

I used them to make crayons, and they worked beautifully! We filled the mold with crayon bits and placed it in the oven at 170 degrees. It was very easy to pop the crayons out once they had cooled.

They're made of silicon, so you can bake and craft with them and it should be just fine. I have used them to make little mini cakes in and it was fine, so I can't imagine your crayons would damage them. I have a friend who used her own set of these to make little mixed crayon legos, too, after having melted them, and they turned out great. =)

Withstand Low/High temperature:-40 to 260 Celsius(-40F to 500F)That's on the website that makes these. Hope that helps

NOTE!! I used these to make crayons, and at first they came out fine, but then I left one batch in the oven a little longer by mistake. A few of the minifig molds came apart when I popped the crayons out, and then after making a couple more batches with the ones that were still intact, all of them ripped apart. If you make crayons, I would recommend melting them in the oven in a separate container (I saw a tin can as a suggestion) and then pouring the melted wax into the molds to cool. This should preserve your mold. I was pretty bummed that my mold was ruined before I finished making everything I needed for my son's birthday party. :-( NOTE!!

I used them last night to make crayons and I set the oven to 250° C. Worked perfectly!

I've put them in the dishwasher and they haven't warped or melted, but I haven't put them in the microwave. I have mixed hot foods in them and it has not been a problem. They seem sturdy and durable enough to tolerate a fair amount of heat. Nothing too extreme. I would trust them in the microwave.

I don't actually own these, but from the description: "Oven safe to 400-degrees F. " I'm only including this information in case others are reading this as I did...

In pressure canning the temperature can get up to around 240* so they are at least safe up to that temp. I have baked in canning jars before as high as 350* without problems, but the conventional advice is: they are not technically oven-safe.

Whether a cookie sheet or pizza stone, it should be fine, and won't melt as long as you follow the package directions to not heat your oven past the burning point of the actual silicone. I think that's 425 or 450 degrees. These are great!! I use them everyday and even bought two more packs because my Mom and Nonna wanted to steal mine ;)

I put them in the oven, they are silicone, so I think you should be OK, but check with the manufacture, but I am about 90% sure it is ok.

Every silicone mat I've ever seen says not to use it above 425. The silicone starts to break down above that temperature. Parchment paper (at least the brands I've seen) isn't food safe above that temperature either.

I am sorry I don't know how much heat they will tolerate. I use mine in a toaster oven, straight on the rack and put hot dog, etc on top of them and bake. I like mine because I can wash them in the dishwasher, cut on them and they seem to hold up very well.

Yes Tom- in the microwave they can but not on the stove top. I believe they can withstand temps in the oven up to 450-500 degrees. I have been baking in the oven at about 425 F and they are fine. Hope this helps.....

There's a maximum temperature that has to be observed... maybe 400, maybe 450 degrees, but I didn't change the temperature for any of the items I've baked. I think I read something about using them on top of an insulated baking sheet wasn't recommended, but that's the kind that I have - didn't see any problem resulting from it. :-)

I'm suspicious so I dry mine first with a dish towel, then finish with them on a rimmed cookie sheet in the oven at 350-400 degrees for 10 minutes. Never a problem.

They are good up to 500 degrees F so I'm pretty sure they are good for baking I know a few people who have used them when making certain edibles...

From the answers I've read it seems you can and they are safe up to 500 degrees (wouldn't try 500 degrees myself), but they are a very sturdy, well made set and cook and clean up VERY WELL!!!

I have baked in them. I've never tested them out at a very very high temperature personally (just haven't had the need). But they've always performed just fine for me at common oven temps like around 350 degrees.

All silicone utensils I have had are good for high temps so I would ASSUME these are as well. I have never used any of mine past 425 degrees.

you would need to ask the company. I cannot think of a recipe needing temps higher than 500 degrees.......at least none I use

Oh sure, no problem with that. I use mine at 400 degrees often for baking fish or chicken. They don't clean up as well as I had hoped so I sometime line with foil to save me some scrubbing. Non stick spray or butter works well also.
