Lekue Muffin Mold

While the platinum silicone is naturally nonstick, we recommend a light coating of oil or butter for the first few uses or when baking recipes with very low fat content to ensure a flawless release.

Yes, this mold is fully microwave-safe. It is an excellent tool for quick mug cakes, reheating individual portions, or even melting ingredients directly in the cavities.

Because silicone is flexible, it can be slightly wobbly when filled with batter. We recommend placing the mold on a flat baking sheet before filling it to ensure stability when moving it in and out of the oven.

Cleanup is straightforward. The mold is dishwasher safe, but you can also easily hand wash it with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers to maintain the integrity of the nonstick surface.

Silicone conducts heat differently than metal, so you may find that your muffins develop a softer, more uniform crust rather than the crisp, browned edges typical of steel pans. You might need to adjust your baking time slightly, so keep an eye on them a few minutes before the timer goes off.
