does your silicon cookware...?

[Salsa]

have a funny rubbery taste it adds to the food? I notice when I bake (especially slices and muffins) using the silicon/flexi baking trays the food has a surface taste of plastic. I dont use baking paper cause I thought that was one of the reason to use silicon over nonstick metal?

Can't say that i have ever noticed.. but i don't use them all the time.

If they are 100% silicone they shouldn't do this. A lot of the inexpensive ones are petroleum based and can be quite dangerous to use.
Do you know what brand they are?

pandora I brought a load at Aldi a year or two ago... I also have a more expensive brand - cant remember name. But I think it does it too. Petrol based - arggh! Maybe i need to stop using them? I had no idea the quality could vary and be a potential hazzard!
eta. I just checked, the better brand is Willow - from kmart i think, probably not very expensive, so im not sure about quality?

Hmm - so the cheapo ones are not safe? Sorry for the hijack but I had wondered as we had been given some as a gift and I was a little nervous.....
