Baking trays - what type do you like?

[BrightSparkles]

I know i've posted a bit in this thread today... i'm getting a little bit domestic

WRT baking trays/muffin trays etc which do you like better - the silicon trays/moulds of the normal ones?
I need to buy some more because all the ones I have DH keeps cooking stuff on them and NEVER cleans them properly and I don't fancy making biscuits on them.

TIA.

I prefer steel ones to the silicon ones. Not for any real reason, but I just don't like the silicon ones much. I got these awesome ones with my new stove and I wish I had more of them they are that good. I hide them away so they aren't used for anything other than baking LOL.

Hate the silicon ones, never had any success with them. I have been tending to just buy the cheapest metal ones, then using baking paper on them - and once they are too black and ugly, I through them out and start again - no tray scrubbing here!

I actually like the silicon ones. Easy to store and clean, and the cakes etc usually don't stick to them. My only tip is to put them on to a baking tray before you pour the batter in because otherwise I find they are hard to put in the oven without spilling.

We have silicon ones here too, and like them. I can never get the baking paper right or miss bits with my greasing, so silicon helps me out there. As Jessica says though, remembering the tray first is key!

With silicon, I really like popping things out of them too, makes small quiches really easy.

I also have some silicon cupcake holders that I pop in my metal trays, they're cool too.
