Microwave & Silicone Crown Cake

[missyciccolella]

:angel:Forgive me if this is a repeat question, but I was wondering if anyone had tried to make a cake in the new crown cake mold in the microwave. I have baked in it, but thought it might be neat to microwave a cake at my shows. I know I can still bake in at the shows in the oven or just take one, but this could be another selling point.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on that?

Doesn't the cake pan have a metal ring around the top of it?

Mine isn't even out of the box yet, so I don't know...but the floral one does, so I just assumed this one did too.

You cannot use it in the microwave. The rim contains metal which stabilizes it.

Well, duh. I guess I'm glad I asked before I blew up the microwave! DH would just love that! LOL

Glad I could save your marriage - and your house!

I WISH it was microwavable though! That was the first thing I checked out in the product room at NC.

Are you sure about that? I don't have one of these cake pans - I did see it at our cluster meeting tonight, but didn't look that closely. However, I don't remember seeing any exposed metal. If the metal is covered by the silicone it's safe to use in the microwave oven, because the microwaves won't be reflected off the metal.

The Silicone Floral Cupcake Pan says it is Dishwasher-freezer-and oven safe. So I would assume it is the same for the Silicone Crown Cake pan. I would not put it in the micro-wave. It should list how it can be used on the information provided with the pan.

The Use & Care says "Not microwave safe" in the Safeguards section.

Yes. I called the test kitchens when the cupcake pan came out and they said absolutely not in the microwave. Product show room people (aka test kitchen people) said the same thing about this one. Don't do it.
