Lekue Silicone Flex Bakeware Madeleine Pan
Looking nothing like traditional bakeware but borrowing many of its best characteristics, Lekue's Madeleine pan cooks evenly, releases food easily, and is made of FDA-approved food grade silicone. The pliable silicone construction carries many advantages such as immediate cool-down, the prevention of burnt edges and crusts, and a foldability that extends storage options. With a slightly shorter cooking time, the pan bakes nine 2-by-2-3/4-inch tasty treats--complete with the traditional Madeleine shape and ridged texture. Nonstick surfaces help food to release easily but greasing is still a good idea--especially if regularly being washed in the dishwasher. Freezer-, microwave-, and oven-safe up to 500 degrees F, the pan seamlessly transitions from cold to hot. Contact with direct heat sources such as burners or hotplates should be avoided and sharp metal tools can damage or cut the material. The pan measures 7 by 3/4 by 12 inches and benefits from a quick rinse before use as small crumbs and particles easily adhere to its rubbery surface.-- Amy Arnold
