Sorry to be a posting maniac. I ordered a silicone waffle sheet from a woman at school who sells Avon. It makes 4 rectangular waffles. I had decent hopes, but I made blueberry waffles ( you bake it on a baking sheet in the oven) & they were fantastic! And easy & mess free. A real find!
That’s interesting. I had a silicone muffin ‘tin’ once, but I didn’t like the way the muffins turned out - they didn’t get those here-and-there crispy bits, that a metal pan gives.
(I still bake my Chicken Pie in a metal pan; it just seems to make the pastry crust come out better than a glass pan does. Cleanup isn’t much of a problem, with stainless steel; but to be honest, my Chicken Pie always came out best when I used an aluminum pan - a real mess to clean up, and still have a nice pan ;-)
I’ve got one of those clay things - Romertopf - and I think I should try the Chicken Pie in that, sometime...

My dad was a depression era teenager but an only child. With syrup rarely in the house he found a way he liked his waffles. Take softened but still cod butter in thin slices and apply with a table knife to fill the waffle shapes partially with cold butter. Now quickly sprinkle granulated sugar on the waffle to bond with that butter. If you cut to bite size and work quickly you can have mouthfuls of warm waffle with cold surgery butter in each nook.
Waffles Daddy Style.
Now that sounds pretty neat. I bought a silicone set months, thinking I would only use the mats. But I love the little bread loaf and I even love the Bundt pan. I always had problems with cake sticking in the traditional Bundt pan.
