(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, February 24, 2015 ) Los Angeles, California -- Silicone bake cups have become really popular over the years and more modern bakers have become adventurous enough to ditch their conventional metal pans for their softer, more flexible silicone counterparts. Others are not so sure if they want to switch mainly because of the lack of research when it comes to its safety.
Silicone is really a synthetic material that is created by combining silicon with oxygen. Silicon is a stable element abundant in nature that is found in rocks and sand. Although silicone and oxygen are stable substances, silicone is a relatively new substance for researchers and has not been fully explored yet. Despite all of that, the FDA has approved the use of silicone for preparing and cooking food.
"As of the present, there has been no news or reports that say that silicone products react with food. There are also no reports on the substance changing flavors or releasing odors when used for food. If you only knew how to choose silicone products, you can prepare and cook food safely for your family," Levy shares.
The FDA has however given a warning against silicone products that come with plastic fillers that can be harmful for the health. If buying silicone products, check if it contains fillers by twisting the bake ware. If there are white lines in the product, it means that the product must contain plastic fillers.
Ensure that any product that is purchased comes with a safety seal. Check if the product is created only with food grade silicone or BPA-free to make sure that the silicone product is safe to use for the whole family.
For storing silicone products, just ensure that these are stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing these silicone bake cups to direct sources of heat such as the stove top. Abrasive cleaning products should not also be used for cleaning the silicone's surfaces as these can damage the non-stick surface of the silicone.
