A customer of mine is having problems with her silicone fluted pan- she said everything is sticking, and I told her I would check to see if anyone has a tips sheet for using it. I do not use this pan, so I have nothing-
 
She should use nonstick spray with flour. It works great for me, and I haven't had any problems.
 
does anyone have any tips or a recipe for a silicone fluted pan?1. Properly prepare the pan: Before using the silicone fluted pan, make sure to wash it with warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly. You can also lightly grease the pan with a non-stick cooking spray or butter to ensure easy release.2. Use the right temperature: Silicone is heat-resistant but it can still get damaged at high temperatures. Make sure to follow the recommended baking temperature for your recipe and avoid placing the pan directly on a hot stovetop or open flame.3.
