Best silicone baking molds

When we buy silicone baking molds, what should we do before using them for the first time? How to use them correctly when using cake molds and making ice boxes?
Before using the mold, it can be washed with water to remove the surface dust, and it can also be scalded with boiling water for disinfection and sterilization. Before using the mold to make food, you can apply a thin layer of butter on the surface of the mold to maintain the mold (you don't have to do this in the later use). During the baking process of most molds, there is no empty single mold with batter, so cold water should be added to the mold when using it to avoid empty baking molds and shorten the life of the molds.
So how is the mold placed in the oven?
When using a silicone cake mold to make small cakes, place the mold in the middle of the oven, keep a distance of 5-10cm from the heating tube, and do not directly touch the inner wall of the oven to prevent the mold from being melted by heating at high temperature.
Can all silicone food molds be placed in the oven, microwave oven?
This is not absolute, most molds are suitable to be put in, but there are also a small number of mold accessories that are not suitable for ovens and microwaves, such as food clips and butter scrapers. Therefore, consumers should pay attention to the applicable information on the product manual before use, so as to avoid product damage caused by wrong use.
