It's definitely
not a silicone baking tray. Apparently it
is was a silicone ice cube tray from Ikea. Oops.
As I glanced into the hot oven to check the progress of my banana and choc chip muffins I saw that the silicone baking tray was slowly drooping down through the bars of the oven rack in a manner reminiscent of melted cheese. Also, I now realise, in a manner reminiscent of being a silicone
ice cube tray.
I immediately had visions of a
similar incident and panicked at the thought of having to
buy a new oven - mine is only 3 years old and is my second favourite thing in the kitchen (Behind the ducted vacuum kicker and only marginally ahead of my beloved Tupperware collection).
Luckily, my oven escaped unscathed. The
baking tray ice cube tray was not so lucky. Next time I'm making Margaritas, can you bring the ice?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha (hiccup) hahahahahahhahahaahahaha
ReplyDeleteI thought of Jodie too, only hers was a big blue melted mess, chopping board wasn't it?? Oh dear!!
ReplyDeleteFYI Gypsy, when you do try to bake with the correct (expensive) silicone baking gear, it tends not to like actual chocolate or say chocolate chips touching the edges, so don't try that at home either!! Just stick to the regular vanilla, butter, savory types of cakes, muffins, friands, whatever takes your fancy. Clearly you're a domestic goddess & have such recipes!! Love Posie
OH NO! good thing it didn't ruin your oven, that would have been awful...
ReplyDeleteand they would have been such adorable heart-shaped muffins, i'm sure =-(
Thank you for trying this and being a warning to me. It's exactly the sort of thing I'm likely to do.
ReplyDeletePhew! Glad your oven didn't suffer.
oh dear.
