Silicone Designs along with their sister company ideal Home are manufacturing the accessories you need for your kitchen to make it easier to cook and offer better results. You all know how much I love silicone cookware, the ease of cleanup, high temperature threshold and the fact I can use less oils when cooking are just a few reasons. Silicone Designs products are BPA-free, FDA Approved, dishwasher safe, microwave safe and freezer safe. I received a few great products from Silicone Designs and knew they would be a great fit for my gift guide, continue on to find out what I though of each product.
I love to bake and with 3 kids in the house we make a lot of muffins and cupcakes. We used to have to fool around with those paper liners or if we did not use those I would have to heavily grease the pan, they were still a pain to get out and I had to scrub the metal pans forever. With the 12 Cup Silicon Muffin Pan from Silicone Designs, I just give the pan a light spray, when they are finished cooking they pop out so easily and I just toss the muffin pan in the dishwasher. Another great feature of silicone cookware is how quickly it cools off when it is removed from the oven. We like to get the whole family in the kitchen when it is time to cook so I no longer have to worry about one of my kids bumping their elbow on a hot pan or grabbing it by accident. This muffin pan also has great uses beyond muffins and cupcakes. Have you ever thought of making soap or ice cubes in your old metal muffin pan? Probably not. Since the silicone washes so clean leaving no residue behind you can make soap today and then make my Christmas Ornament Cupcakes tomorrow.
Another thing we eat a lot of around here in the summer time is popsicles and these Ice Pop molds from Silicone Designs make the process so much easier. We have made everything from your typical fruit flavored sticky Popsicles to ooey gooey fudge popsicles and every time I just throw them in the top rack of the dishwasher and they come out as good as new, plus recipes are included.
The Kitchen Utensils Set of 7 w/ Built-in Stand from ideal Home will be the last set of utensils you will need. A lot of times I buy kitchen gadgets online and when I receive them, the spatula for example looks like it belongs in my granddaughters play kitchen. That is definitely not the case with these, the large spatula is a good 3-4 inches across and will flip an omelet or grilled cheese like you would not believe, no more issues with the omelet sliding off the side of the tiny spatula. The pasta spoon is nice and large and will serve a hefty scoop of paste. These utensils are heat resistant up to 410 degrees, are BPA free, feature a comfort grip handle and the one feature that truly sets it apart from others is the built in stands. No more need for a spoon rest or worrying about it touching the counter top that may or may not have been cleaned before you started cooking.
The last item is my husbands favorite of them all, the set of 2 Kitchen Tongs. These things are made from commercial quality stainless steel and feature silicone grips and tips. The large “O” ring makes it easy to hang or use the locking feature to store them compactly in a drawer. Like other silicone products they are heat resistant so great to use on our infrared gas grill and like the other products, just throw them in the dishwasher when you are done.
