Is this like a sil pat, or how ever you spell it. I have demarle and was wondering if it would be compatible? Do you bake in this?

It is silicone...rubbery. I believe you can bake in it but I don't. I bake the cakes first then crumble the cake into the molds. I also use it to mold fondant and rice crispy treats. Hope that helps

Honestly, I bought this as a gift and it's supposed to be used for baking but they is it as an ice cube tray for the granddaughter. I got her a hello kitty cup bowl and plate set and it excites her to see hello kitties floating in her cups :) but yes, it's supposed to be used for baking

Hey Joan, anything that can be cooked in an oven can go into this if it fits. Because this cooks differently than conventional methods I would still want to keep an eye on it as it cooks. What I mean is, whatever you try you may have to tweak the cook time or temp each time until you get the hang of it. I cooked a frozen 3 1/2 lb chuck roast in just over an hour and it looked great, however when I cut it in half to check the doneness it was still medium rare. I cut it in thirds and another 10 minutes and it was perfect. Next time I'll know. Also, I cook everything with the extender ring installed. Hope that helps.

I used what the mix recommended. It's non-stick, but I checked with fork at midpoint and at end just to make sure. When batter turned into cake as fork showed I pulled it out of oven. It came out fine. Most important is to use a good amount of Pam on divider blades and everywhere else. Non-stick doesn't work as well as you'd think. Use/spray oil. If not its a bear to clean. I found out the hard way.

Maybe it's a typo. :) I'm still getting use to this but it cooks really good food! I'd suggest getting the stand (as I did) so you're not bending over all the time. Smokin Tex is also very helpful on the phone and supportive. I thought I might be having a temperature regulating situation, which it turned out I did not, but customer service sent me a new thermostat "just in case I ever need it". Not bad!

Yea I loved to cook with it, but I even contacted the maker of the thing & they told me they no longer make or service it. Now I got a nesco which has a gasket that looks exactly the same as Montel Williams one. If your brave enough try them. You lose though if it doesn't fit.

I saw this site had replacement pots. http://vitaclaychef.com/replaceable-inner-pot--4.htmlI would like to know which model you got? Can you program it in 1 minute increments?The reason I ask is that I thought it might work as a steamer, if I used a steamer basket inside.Also, do you have any favorite recipes?

I've never made either of them, but the Silpat should work for either one. I think that the main point is that the Silpat is so slippery that nothing sticks to it and the cleanup is so easy. If you're concerned about the items touching each other once baked, put the batter further apart on your first batch to see how much they spread out. Then on the next batch, you'll know how to space them.

Joy, finding directions and recipes is a challenge. I had purchased a turbo years ago and a recipe book was provided with it but it has hidden away in some drawer! As a general rule of thumb I use the turbo like a oven and adapt the recipes to the turbo. I bake potatoes, chicken, mac&cheese just to name a few of the things I've cooked in it. It is wonderful to warm up stuff. We have used the turbo since we got rid of the micro-wave 10+ years ago. I would say start out cooking things for a shorter length of time until you get a feel for how long it will take. If you bake a potato for say 45 min in the oven start off at 30 in the turbo. That way if it needs more cooking no harm done. If it's done you want dry it out. Hope this helps

Yes, you can bake w/ it. Since I haven't actually done it myself, I don't know whether you'd have to do anything differently.

I didn't bake mine. I use it strictly for display. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

We mixed it without a food processor, and it turned out great. I would probably let it raise a little longer, and do NOT over bake. It is done sooner than it looks. A food processor probably wouldn't hurt. I don't think we even used a mixer (just a spoon) the last time.

It has been years since I used a metal pie pan. I can tell you that I notice no difference, the crust always bakes and stays crisp even in a deep dish apple pie. And the clean up is a breeze with Corelle. I don't alter the oven temperature even though it is considered a glass dish. For most baking such as cakes I do but not for pie.

Tom, thank you for your reply. I went to Grazia's website and asked the same question. Hopefully they will email the recipes to me. We'll see. Thanks again.

I baked the same size cake. It did fit, but was a bit over the edge. I thought it only looked ok once I put it on. I was debating not serving it because the image started to crack after being in the fridge for an hour. But, my 7 year old daughter and all her friends squealed with delight and loved it. They had no idea how I could get 1D on a cake i baked. Good luck.

YES.<3 I love it .Taste so much better and looks great in cooking/baking.I cant keep it I use it all up first. try it you will love it. Buy in bulk if you like it. :)

I tried both and didn't see any difference. I personally don't like to bake bread or pizzas on Silpat or silpain, since I found that the bottom crusts are too pale. I bake bread daily using a pizza stone.

I agree with Christine. I also looked up what the pan looks like. It looks very similar to the BabyCakes, so you should be able to make it work.
