(Food-Beverage-News.Com, November 19, 2014 ) Los Angeles, California -- With the popularity of silicone bakeware rising, home bakers have begun tossing their traditional metal pans to try these new products. Some are still hesitant to try them because of safety concerns. Mr. Muffin, a new distributor of silicone products, shares some information on the safety of such products.
Silicone is a man-made material produced by combining silicon with oxygen. Silicon is a natural element found in sand and rocks and is fairly abundant in nature. Despite silicon and oxygen being natural and stable elements, this rubbery, non-stick material still has not had extensive research on its reaction to food under heat. If it's any guarantee, the FDA has long approved silicone as a food-safe substance.
So far, there has been no official report on silicone kitchen products reacting with food, rubbing off odors on food or releasing harmful gases when used. With just the right choice of silicone bakeware, it is possible to prepare food safely for the whole family.
The FDA did warn about silicone products that come with plastic fillers, which may be harmful to anyone's health. When shopping for silicone products, twist the silicone product and when there are any white lines appear it could come with fillers.
Only choose products that come with safety seal. Ensure that the silicone product is BPA-free and is made from food grade silicone, the kind that is deemed safe for food preparation.
To ensure the longevity of silicone products, ensure that the product does not come in contact with direct heat or flame. Abrasive cleaning products and sharp objects such as knives should not be used on the product's surface as these can be easily pierced.
