Bakeware Maestro MR 1597 N silicone muffin baking tray, 12-cup, non-stick

Maestro MR 1597 N is a silicone muffin baking tray with 12 cups designed for baking cupcakes and muffins at home or in small bakery settings. The flexible non-stick silicone surface assists with easy release of baked goods and simplifies cleaning, while the tray's size of 175 x 310 mm makes it suitable for standard oven racks.

Advantages

The silicone construction provides even heat distribution and a flexible form that allows muffins and cupcakes to be removed without damage. The non-stick surface reduces the need for extra grease and makes washing quicker. Its compact dimensions fit most household ovens and the 12-cup layout enables batch baking of a dozen items at once.

Suitable for

• Baking cupcakes and muffins at home
• Small-scale bakery or café production
• Preparing individual desserts or portioned baked goods
• Reusable baking for less waste compared with disposable liners

When it may not be suitable

This silicone tray may not be ideal for use when a rigid metal form is required for structural support or for very high-temperature professional ovens that exceed silicone temperature limits. It is also less suitable for recipes that require browning or crisping on the outer surface compared with metal pans.

Key specifications

• Material: Non-stick silicone
• Capacity: 12 cups
• External dimensions: 175 × 310 mm
• Use: Oven baking for cupcakes and muffins

How to use

Place the silicone tray on a flat baking sheet or oven rack, fill the cups with batter according to the recipe, and bake at the recommended temperature for the chosen recipe. After baking, allow the tray to cool slightly, then gently flex the silicone to release the muffins or cupcakes. Wash the tray with warm soapy water or place it on the top rack of the dishwasher if the manufacturer's guidance allows.

What to consider before purchase

• Check your oven dimensions to ensure the 175 × 310 mm tray fits comfortably.
• Verify the maximum safe temperature for silicone if you plan to use higher baking temperatures.
• Consider whether you prefer a rigid metal pan for crisper edges or a flexible silicone tray for easier release.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the silicone tray on a flat baking sheet for stability in the oven, avoid sharp utensils that could damage the silicone, and allow baked items to cool briefly before removing them by flexing the tray gently.
