Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 I don't know about the containers, but I bought some silicone pot holders from a school fundraiser (nestle or something??) and they didn't work at all! Even though they said they could withstad 400+ degrees they started to melt evey time they touched something hot! It's weird... maybe it's just a defect in the set I got? Does anyone else have this problem? Elisa GeminiDragon <thelilacflower wrote: Has anyone used the new rubber silicone baking containers? I see them on sale but haven't heard how they bake. At first I thought they were for the microwave oven but they state heat over up to 400 degrees and the baked item will pop right out. Are they safe?

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Ick. You definitely win. We used to have pet mice (adopted from a teacher) but I couldn't hardly look at them when they passed! They just look so uncomfortable and unsettled! Now I'll check the oven mitts every time I put them on! ; ) Elisa Maria/Chanda <puterwitch wrote: no, but I gotta better one for ya.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 I've bought 8 or so silicone pot holders and have had no problems with them. I've put hot pans right from the burner onto them, bread machine containers on them as soon as the machine said it was done, never had a problem. Still have them. Bought them from Chef's or some catalog like that.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I used to raise mice too. In fact, I have a rat now ) just don't like dead ones in the mitt, LOL.

" Bleh. I know what you mean about the cans. If you look on the tops you can see little specks of who-knows-what all around the rims. I don't even want to know what it is.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 > >Always, always!!!!!! mice feet, germy worker hands, sneezy stock >personel, etc..... Consider how short a time germs that can live in humans can live on a metal inorganic surface and how long your cans sit on your shelves before you use them. Maybe, maybe if you took a can from the store that some nut had licked the surface of seconds before you picked it up, took it home, and immediately opened it, maybe some infectious germs could get in there, but it's not likely that that is going to happen. Even dead bodies harbor few germs that can be transmitted to living humans. Germs usually die with the host. This info provided by a girl with germ-phobic OCD and her husband who's got a degree in microbiology. By all means, if you really want to, wash your cans, but the only place the germs could even live long enough to get to you is *in* the food. Now, if you want to get sick, go lick a doorknob at a busy store or a frequently used payphone receiver. Thank karma for cel phones!
