You know, it's funny... I'm not too sure about all this silicone bakeware stuff. I think it's wonderful how it all works, and makes cooking so much easier, but... something in the back of my mind says that in 20 years they're gonna come back at us and tell us that it caused cancer or something...

I'm tempted to try it, but am not totally convinced about it yet...

Yeah, but look at what they are sayin'
about the teflon coating too now!!! :rolleyes:

Actually I thought that one of the mitts that you can plunge into boiling water and not burn your hand might be cool. I was grating carrots into boiling turkey noodle soup one time.....and the grater slid off the side of the pan and my hand plunged into the boiling broth. I got 2nd degree burns over my whole hand except under my ring, those were 3rd degree and had to have the ring cut off. I don't grate directly into cooking food anymore.

Hmmm...note to self.

Actually, I don't think I've ever grated into cooking food...I'm a clutz to begin with.

Lynne, that is my thought exactly. I think it seems neat but I'd rather just stick to good old non stick.....But like Weezie said they are saying bad things about that too--heck it seems like EVERYTHING causes cancer anymore....

There is just something kind of strange about the thought of cooking in silicone.....

that's what my husband always says, so he refuses to listen to any of the warnings that have proven tests behind them even... he says that sooner or later EVERYTHING will cause one to die...

the idea of silicone cookware... makes me think of cooking on a breast implant - just tooooo weird!

Me too Lynne....Silicone=Implants in my mind....

Just the other day mom and dad were telling me how there are reports saying decaf coffee may cause heart problems and be worse than drinking regular.....I drink decaf, have for years....I said to mom, so are you making me a decaf or what?????LOL I mean I've been drinking it for so long, I may as well keep on drinking it. I quit caffeine totally, so if I had a regular coffee I'd be bouncing off the walls.

I had to laugh one time because I heard that Americans are the only country who are afraid of eating or doing something because it is bad for rats.
