Question:

What are your thoughts on “ food safe” silicone, muffin molds, popsicle molds etc?

— Sue Baker

Answer:

I, you know, for the food safe silicone, um, we do all kinds of things using like agar agar in those to be able to make kind of like gelatin kind of jelly things as well that are plant-based. Um, same with the muffin molds and the Popsicle molds. All those things, uh, we use in our house pretty regularly. Um, uh, you know, as, as long as your food's safe, you're okay and just make sure to wash them while in between uses. Sometimes they'll build up a little bit of a powdery residue on them too, so just make sure to, um, you know, most of 'em are dishwashers safe, so, uh, I usually just throw mine in the dishwasher to be able to keep those clean. But fun things to be able to do with kids, the more I can get my kids into cooking the the happier I am. So those kinds of things are fun things to do with them.
