Forms for baking, rugs, tacks and silicone blades have become very popular. Housewives love them, and professional cookies. Such dishes are very practical, it is easy to wash, and bright, juicy colors please the eye.
Many wonder: Is it safe to prepare in silicone dishes?
Lyudmila Bukina, Chief Condeer, Lecturer: "Confectioners appreciate Silicon for having nothing sticks to him if you use it correctly and if high-quality silicone. It allows us to repeat all sorts of unusual forms that will be difficult to create without using Silicon. "
With the help of silicone forms, you can make an unusual and cake, and decorations for it, for example, a huge orchid of white chocolate.
Lyudmila Bukin's chef warms a special film, prints the pattern of silicone molds on it (so-called baking and jewelry shape), then the film needs to be cooled with a layer of white chocolate and give to cool. It will only be left to glue the petals among themselves and decorate the cake. Looks magic, but is it safe?
German scientists checked 14 silicone forms of different manufacturers. Researchers were interested in whether the air evaporates in air and methyl oxane - substances that may be contained in similar polymers, when entering the body, they are able to provoke the development of tumors and negatively influence fertility.
Checks were carried out according to 16 indicators in conventional opening temperatures from 188 to 230 degrees. As a result, it turned out that samples without brands (manufacturers could not be installed) were isolated in tens times more than harmful substances than other forms, and in some cases, European standards were quite exceeded.
Another group of scientists was measured whether something harmful from the forms of specifically Chinese manufacturers. Dangerous toxins were really discovered, and at a temperature of only 170 degrees. Researchers are confident that the reason for non-compliance with production technologies. Most likely, the forms have been hardened less than it is necessary, or even used non-silicone silicone.
Anatoly Gucket, director of the plant for the production of silicone products: "The easiest way to distinguish the hostess quality products from low-quality is to subjected to a product with a small stretch. The hostess should not notice any color changes, in low-quality products there will be foreign inclusions or manifestations of other colors. "
It is more reliable not to chase to cheap, choose famous stamps and just in case any such forms before first use in the oven 4 hours at a temperature of 200 degrees, then you need to open the stove and air the room. You can then wash Silicone and cook in it, nothing is afraid.
Christina Nein, Professor of Analytical Chemistry of the University of Zaragoza (Spain): "If you pre-warm the silicone form, then toxic substances will be in the food, which is located in it. Then we will eat pie together with all these chemicals. "
It is also necessary to observe the temperature mode specified in the instructions. Usually manufacturers do not recommend putting silicone dishes in the oven, heated more than 220-230 degrees, and advise not to give it to contact with the grill or other heating elements.
The authors of the Live Food Program are confident that when complying with all the rules, Silicon is a great thing, they can be used without fears and delight themselves and closely delicious and beautiful food.
